A Rural Home
In order to give people a true North Korean experience, tour guides bring them all over the place. They aren't just shown the folks who are "better off" in the city, which adds variety to the way of life that the tourists are being exposed to. The people in rural villages are specially handpicked by the government. Still, tourists are inadvertently shown how rough things can be. These citizens don't even have running water.
Permits for Travel
Public transportation isn't really a thing. There are a couple of buses, trains, and trolleys, but that's about it. Most of the time, you will see people hitchhiking or just walking along the highway. The woman in this photo is waving at the bus, possibly asking for a ride.
