Country with many loudspeaker.Ian Scot said, in other countries he had never seen so many loudspeakers are operated on the streets like in North Korea. Almost in its path along the way she encounters many speakers at maximum volume that advertise products or merchandise. Of onions to computer products. Loudspeaker-loudspeaker in schools even louder. Echoes children's songs, instructions on school rules with a booming voice.
Countries with large palaces.North Korea reportedly has a palace with a very large size. There are five royal palaces in the country. "It takes me about two hours to circle each palace", said Ian Scot.
Countries with the highest hotel building.Never heard of Ryugyong Hotel? It is said that the building is often mocked as The Pyongyang Ghost Tower. A 330 meter high building planned as a hotel and is located in the city of Pyongyang. Its construction started in 1987 and since governments are experiencing financial difficulties, the project was halted in 1992. And it was not until April 2008 that the construction is resumed. Imagine, for 16 years building this gigantic dormant. Reportedly with a capacity of 3,000 room hotel is planned to be completed in 2012.
Do not use a knife.In North Korea, people do not use a knife to cut food ingredients such as noodles, vegetables, meats, and so on. They use long scissors. You can see the use of the scissors while dining at all restaurants in the country. Ian Scot himself argued that the use of scissors it tasted funny but it makes sense.

House numbers are confusing.In many countries, including Indonesia, numbering houses as is usually done with the address sequence. If your house numbered 27 then the next will be numbered 28, for example like that. But the house numbering in sequence as it does not apply in North Korea. Could happen in the next house numbered 1 is home to number 88, while the number 2 home located just down the road. After the note, it turns out the house numbering adjusted to the age of the house. An old house is the oldest house in a way that it would be number 1. The house with the number 2 is a house built after the house was numbered 1. So it went on.
