OK, so North Korea is showing off a part of Kaeson Street, which I guess is the main avenue in Pyongyang. It looks OK, but I am pretty sure it's just the facade of the country NK wants to show to the outside; I am not sure the rest looks so nice. Also, there are almost no cars.

It's better than the rest, but even the rest of North Korea sure as hell looks a lot better than many 3rd world countries.

The western media gives an exaggerated view of the level of poverty there, partly by subtly pretending that it's still 1994.
