I mean that there's a certain aesthetic that it's quite pleasing to the eye. Clean streets, orderly crowd, relatively low traffic. Some stuff is old (subways for example, and those buses do look like from 80's USSR), but everything seems to run well and there's no rush anywhere.
..then again, it's a dictator's dream metropolis. [img]http://eve-files.com/sig/grimpak[/img]

That's exactly what struck me. Everything is so very clean and orderly. Like you say, the streets are clean and there's non of the filth that, for me at least, is usually associated with the poor or poverty stricken. The roads are open and wide, little traffic, etc. I imagines it to look a lot worse than this. |

Sterile is the word you're looking for, I believe. As in scrubbed clean of anything that could inspire an independent thought... May I have your stuff? |

It does look worse...anywhere outside of Pyongyang. |

That's very true and there's enough evidence to show that too. Just the scenes shown of the city show us something, that to me, almost look so clean that it seem like a movie set; there's something unreal about the reality of this city and yet it is! |

I found the lack of people rather disquieting. As in population density. And in the density of the buildings. The roads were huge (due to greenspace) with "no" traffic. There weren't enough people and cars for that many office buildings. And no food carts serving the working masses.
It kind of reminds of a disaster/dystopian movie where small elements of society maintain civilization after a plague has wiped out 80% of humanity.
OTOH maybe it was the weekend.

The roads are open and wide, little traffic, etc. I imagines it to look a lot worse than this. It does look worse...anywhere outside of Pyongyang. No, there are problems in the city itself. Take the Ryugyong Hotel for example.
Or for a more melodramatic history of the hotel: Tower's height: 330 m (1082 ft.)
Floors: 105
Ryugyong
The construction of the 330 m tall tower in Pyongyang, North Korea began in 1987. It has a total 360,000 m-¦ (3.9 million ft-¦) floor space and 105 stories. The building should have been opened in 1989, by that time it could have been the tallest hotel in the world and the 7th largest skyscraper. North Korea have spent ~$750 million or 2% of the country's GDP on the Ryugyong Hotel. The hotel was designed to have 3,000 rooms, 7 revolving restaurants, casinos(!), nightclubs(!) and Japanese lounges. In 1989 -the original completion date- they had several construction method and material problems therefore the opening was delayed, but in 1992 the construction came to a complete halt due to funding problems, electricity shortages, and the prevailing famine.
And, no, it's still not functioning as a hotel. WASABI: Warp Acceleration System Ancillary Boost Injected(Gäó)

Well said! In fact, any chance you happened to watch the movie Divergent over said weekend? because... "a disaster/dystopian movie where small elements of society maintain civilisation after a plague has wiped out 80% of humanity"
