Would you live in North Korea or Taliban Afghanistan?

The Taliban are taking Afghanistan back to the 90s, while currently the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea isn’t milking 90s nostalgia or talking points anymore—and its people are both objectively materially richer than Afghanistan along with richer culture wise as of Mid-August with nice semi-legal party drugs and better modern literature.

Easily North Korea is the better option to actually live in, but only if I were already born there.

To live as a foreigner is much more debatable. Because government would still see me as outsider and have their eyes on me. Add to that the fact I’m not Asian and I probably would never really be seen as a true North Korean citizen and be too exotic in a closed country to really blend in.

So I think Afghanistan would be easier to blend in and keep a low profile (at least in comparison), although I admit I would be much more scared to live there nowadays than in North Korea.

Dude, your Brazilian, you can have any cutie there with such little work.
