You dont see many cars I guese because the population is low, even on the streets there are less number of people. By the way the cleanliness and stable roads are much better than India and Vietname and even some US cities. I dont agree with your electricity outage comment since you provided no proof of that.
- saryant 11y agoYou're taking one tiny stretch of (empty) road as evidence of the quality of infrastructure across the entire country. India has 2.53 million kilometers of paved road. Vietnam has 148,000 km. The CIA's 2006 estimate for North Korea was 724 kilometers.
- psykovsky 11y agoDoesn't google/bing maps have NK satellite photos? We could always verify the CIA number to a great extent if said imagery exists. EDIT: Gotta love the fog/haze over Pyongyang on Google Maps https://www.google.com/maps/place/Pyongyang,+Coreia+do+Norte/@39.0291382,125.7421118,21886m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x357e02dae64f4337:0xd40677e21771aa95!6m1!1e1 https://www.google.com/maps/place/Pyongyang,+Coreia+do+Norte...
- sim9 11y agoyeah thats cause India in 1000x larger than NK. please use some logic.
- saryant 11y agoSo we'll compare Vietnam, which is 2.7x larger than North Korea. Vietnam still has 200x more paved roads than North Korea. Measuring paved road per capita, Vietnam still comes out several orders of magnitude ahead.
- guard-of-terra 11y agoNorth Korea actually has sizable population. Imagine Seoul with all the area, NK has same population in all the country. It's just it is partially rural, partially in death camps, partially tries not to attract attention. That's why you aren't seeing anybody.
- krschultz 11y agoWell I guess we found the one member of HN that hails from NK. Welcome!
