That's an impressive video. The people don't look quite as starving or destitute as we tend to be led to believe either.

Interesting footage indeed. Looks very much like any old communist city, except what strikes me is how empty the streets are, and not only of cars, but of pedestrians too. That makes it feel more staged than they claim it is.

Don't you wish it was like that here in the West though. Empty thoroughfares to casually walk around without garish billboards everywhere. No shopping.MiM wrote:Interesting footage indeed.

It has the look of a showhouse. Not lived in. Quite eerie really.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

It's far too clean. Not one piece of trash to be seen. I think I saw that guy in the green suit in like five different places.
