Ask A North Korean How to have fun in North KoreaRemembering low-watt TVs and off-key singing in the dark as spare-time enjoyment
Every week we ask a North Korean your questions, giving you the chance to learn more about the country we know so little about. This week, Paul J. from Australia asks: What do people in North Korea do to have fun in their spare time? People do not have much in the way of individual pastimes under the totalitarian system in North Korea. For starters, the idea of “free time” is not really common. Then, even if you do have free time, there aren’t many things to enjoy anyway. I recall my dad going to work at 7:30 a.m. and © Korea Risk Group. All rights reserved. |
