Truth is relative, especially in North Korea. It is one of the most bizarre countries on earth. Today QuizzClub’s Community is counting down their picks for the top 10 curious photos from North Korea that Kim Jong-un didn’t want you to see! Keep on reading the article.
#10 North Korean tour guides sharing a secret
#9 North Korean officials playing in a band, downtown Pyongyang
#8 Propaganda Van
#7 ‘As cars have become more widespread in Pyongyang, the peasants are still getting accustomed to seeing them. Kids play in the middle of the main avenues just like before when there were no cars in sight.’ (Eric Lafforgue)
If you are really interested in North Korea, check out these articles written by QuizzClub’s users:
#6 Off-limits shop in North Korea. I had 15 seconds to take this picture before my guide realised I wasn't around
#5 Group of kids I stumbled upon when taking a leak in the forest about 2 hours by bus from Chongjin airport. This is real rural NK. They were out gathering wood (one of the kids holding a saw) daytime on a school Tuesday. They were as surprised as I was to stumble upon each other.
#4 Currency in North Korea
#3 Orthodox Easter procession in Pyongyang. Russian Embassy in the DPRK
#2 In 2012, the people of North Korea celebrated the centennial birthday of the founder of their state, Kim Il Sung.
#1 A lone man studies English in the grand people’s study house. Pyongyang.

It should remind us that freedom to speak and worship and love are not given to all peoples. We should consider ourselves extremely lucky and beware of the insidiousness of dictatorship. Nobody thinks it will happen here but it can if we don't guard against leaders who want to control what you see or what you hear and make a portion of the peoples believe that they are God. People need to think for themselves.

LAST PLACE ON EARTH ANYONE SHOULD GO. PRAY FOR THEIR FREEDOM..

I can imagine what would have happened if they caught you taking pictures.
Nancy Gardner
Scary place, not for everyone.

The streets look like East Berlin after the wall opened up in 1989 and West Berliners were able to cross at Checkpoint Charlie!!!

So VERY glad that I am an American! We do squibble amongst ourselves but somehow it all works out, except for the nuts doing all the damages by protesting. Protest all you want but leave our history and monuments ALONE! lt's great to be a citizen of the good ole USA 🇺🇸

When one is told not to take photos in some countries; the reason why is the photo can be traced back to the guide in charge and that poor guide is the one punished for allowing the photos to be taken.

Eve , DITTO freedom is not guaranteed, it has to be protected by folks voting in mass numbers lest we become NK my initials. Be well.

Eve , very well Stated. However thinking for ourselves appears to be a thing of the Past. Failure to think for our selves is why we have Greedy, Corrupt multimillionaires
in charge of our Government, mainly in our Congress. My opinion only!

Eve , they are rights given by God to all but denied to way too many by tyrannical governments.

#2 looks like somebody draw a line and said military 🪖 this side and civilians that side. Strange way to number the pictures from 5 down to 1.

Really just a propaganda piece, with photos the NorKs want people to see.
Can't believe I wasted my time on this garbage.

The gist of the ten pictures you show took place in the US south upon Blacks to a great degree up to the 1960's. Today, the storm is gathering once more but for the whole USA on people of all colors and religions. Some think that they will escape. Ask the millions of Germans who glorified Hitler if they escaped the wrath that Hitler brought upon their country. Take heed! History often repeats itself.

barbara e hunt, As soon as you figure out how to count, and how to run an election you may regain your status among nations.

Ray Zagata, the other way around. We are heading that way right now. Vote for dictator Trump and that’s what will happen here!

barbara e hunt, Interesting since for me USA stands for US All. There is a person from every country in America, as such; as the USA heals so does the planet. Freedom is for ALL, the plants and animals too.
Malka Rubinstein
not on my list of places to visit, scary for the people living there, may they soon be free to leave
Elsy O. Stromberg
Ray Zagata, More likely if Trump gets re-elected. have you forgotten his love affairs with Kim and Putin?
