It's kind of a relaxation. Because It's totally different than the world where I live. Their rules, Their lifestyles, Their way of thinking...etc. If I have to live in North Korea from next week, I would be devastated. But a people in the movie often smiling and sometimes they are looks so happy.
It teaches me there are a lot of ways to be happy. Even in North Korea, People feel happiness. So the people who live in a better country like us can be happier. We are lucky! Don't you think so?
....Sorry, I talk too much. Forget it. Let's go to the main topic. Recently I realized something weird in the North Korean daily life movie.
Can't find a people who walk a dog in Pyongyang!
This is the movie I often watch. Driving through Pyongyang.
You can see a lot of North Korean people in this movie. But you can't find anybody with dogs. What's wrong with them?
I've been to many countries. and I saw cute dogs in every country I visit. In Thailand, I found a lazy dog sleeping on the chair. (Picture at the top) And in Taiwan, I found a dog waiting for a traffic signal like a people.
Every country has own types of the dogs. So I want to check North Korean one too. But I can't find. Is it prohibited to have a pet in North Korea?
I found the answer.
The title says "North Korean don't own dogs longer than 5 years. After that, they eat it"
The Korean peninsula has a culture eating dog meat.
At a first glance, You think "Oh, they own dogs during a short time" but after that, you will find a word "eat it".
Yes. In North Korea, Dogs are not a pet. They are livestock.....
The Korean peninsula including South Korea has been had such a culture for a long time. So even in South Korea, Few people still eat a dog meat. Even there are a few restaurants you see a dog meat on a menu remains in capital Seoul.
But South Korea has changed from Seoul Olympics. Because foreign countries started to blame such a culture. and People who own a dog as a pet has been increased recent years. So especially young girls hate eating a dog meat.
But In North Korea, They don't care blames from foreigners. Dog meat is still popular food and there are a lot of dog meat shops on the main street.
North Korean can't believe "own a dog as a pet"
According to the article, They will be surprised when they are told that dogs are a pet in South Korea. I think It's the same feeling when we are told: "own a pig as a pet" or like that. And If they are told "When we walk, sometimes dogs even wear clothes " They would think "Are you out of your mind?"
According to an article, Make dogs wearing clothes is "an illness caused by spoiled capitalism" for North Korean.
What do you think? North korean eat dogs. But we also eat another animals.
Which is better?
