As it turns out, blackouts are a very common occurrence in Pyongyang, the capital. Obviously you can see that the buildings have no power, the only thing that is lit up is the picture of North Korea’s dear leader.

Hitchhike

Considering there is very little public transportation, most citizens can’t really afford to pay for public transportation anyways, so they often hitchhike. Sometimes those who drive and own their own vehicles, or if they are lucky enough to get a company truck, will earn extra cash on the side as they charge people for raking rides. However all forms of private enterprise are considered illegal in the Hermit Kingdom, meaning these drivers are taking a huge risk.
