@mstrum
Thanks for subscribing!

No, but know several people who have via KFA and Koryo tours. I cannot afford to go, but plan to visit someday. In the meantime, I only have pictures to go by.

Oh and by the way, do you mind if I use some of your posters in a posting with the translations?

Thanks again!

@Jack Glad you enjoyed it! I had a lot of fun putting this together. I subscribed to your blog, looks pretty interesting! BTW have you been on a tour in the DPRK? If so I have some questions as I am considering going this summer.

Hi! I found this blog looking for a specific propaganda poster for an entry. These are fantastic, and will link your page. And it does appear to me the cash crunch and the lack of inputs not only from an economy imploding from the top, but the growth of the marketization from below. As most know, this marketization despite the currency reform is not working. In other words, how can there be output when there is no input? Great entry. Thanks.

@mii Yeah, I saw a fairly long video of that. Go SNU! ㅋㅋㅋ Maybe I'll see randomly on campus or something

Hi! This isn’t really propaganda, but have you seen the videos and the site on Pyeongyang’s traffic girls?

And I’m glad you seem to be enjoying SNU. I’m here, too, but only as a language student.

I’m doing research on North Korean propaganda system and key players. Your postings are very specific. I hope I can contact with you through e-mail.
Thanks.

Last poster…”Let’s produce fertilizer in large amounts!”…someone’s taken that to heart here. Like the NK press secretary.

@oscill8
Sure, I’ll try my best.

Top: Widely introduce normal (?열복사체식?) warming
열복사체식 보온불통을 널리 도입하여

Side: 성형작업 (Some sort of operations)
Side: 감탕 (Marshlands)

1. 설치를 잘해야한다. (You have to install well)
2. 스크루혼합을 해야한다 (You have to screw in the screws)

Bottom: 석탄을 극력절약합시다! (Be as frugal as you can with coal!)

That’s a rough translation, there’s a few word’s I’ll have to look up to complete it.

Hi,

would you mind translating this one: http://drop.io/dprk_poster/asset/dprk-poster-jpg for me? I bought it in Pyongyang and remember being told it had it had something to do with electricity – but I don’t have an exact translation.

Thanks!

@Bekah Good point, I really have no idea how that situation will go down after unification (assuming it happens).
