A person lying on the internet…who could have foreseen this?
I’ve been to most of these countries, they are all very nice. But like with anywhere it kinda depends on when and where you are, and you typically won’t get a real sense of the place unless you have a lot of time to travel.
The country side of Mongolia is beautiful in the warm season, I hear it’s pretty barren and freezing when it’s cold. About 50% of the population lives in Ulaanbaatar and it has a pretty bad issue with air pollution. It was very smoggy when I visited, and I hear it gets a lot worse in the winter season when it regularly has some of the worst air pollution in the world.
Yeah, a lot of wood and coal fires for heating and cooling. Probably wouldn’t be as much of an issue, but the city is nestled in a big valley that blocks the city from the wind so the smog doesn’t really have anywhere to dissipate.
That is the same dynamic with the mountains that makes the west coast of the US susceptible to higher air pollution, to say nothing of places like Mexico City. Not much coal that I’m aware of, but all of the exhaust has no where to go and just sits there.
Out west I noticed smoke would hug the ground more, on the continental part it rises more.
The only way you lived in North Korea and South Korea is if you defected, in which case you wouldn’t have also gone to China and Mongolia. My guess is that you’re just a racist European.
That’s interesting, what was Mongolia like and were you there for specific work opportunities or just because you liked moving around?
Edit: hang on… North Korea…

They heat with coal stoves, their cities are like 18th century london.

The only liar I see is you. Go away.

Either they started with North Korea and escaped or they ended their tour with NK and they’re still there.

Must be the first one. This is a bona fide DPRK escapist

Y’all are stupid, the answer is so obvious: he’s Kim Jong Un!
Why would someone do that? go on the internet and tell lies?
Not sure if you’re serious or not but the reason for it is that it can be pretty fun at times

You can visit North Korea. They assign a guy to you to make sure you only see the approved stuff.
