GIVE LAVISH GIFTS TO HIS MOST 
VALUABLE SCENES.
WE'RE THE FIRST FOREIGN 
IMMEDIATE YO TO COME ABOVE THE 
RAINBOW, FOUR STORIES, EIGHT 
RESTAURANTS, 11,000 SQUARE 
METERS FLOATING ON THE RIVER.
SUPREME LEADER KIM JONG UN'S 
FIELD INSPECTION, A LEAD STORY 
ON STATE CONTROLLED MEDIA.
THE ANNOUNCER CALLING IT A GIFT 
TO THE PEOPLE.
THIS IS WHERE THE LEADER SAT?
AT THE REVOLVING RESTAURANT AND 
OTHERS INSPECTED BY THE LEADER, 
YOU CAN PROBABLY GUESS THE MOST 
COVETED SEATS.
WHAT DO YOUR CUSTOMERS SAY TO 
SIT HERE?
LANK. 
>> EVERY WANTS TO SIT HERE.
THEY RUSH TO GRAB IT.
THE RAINBOW SEEN CAPACITY 
CROWDS.
2,000 PEOPLE IN THE FIRST HOUR.
FACTORY WORKER BROUGHT HIS WHOLE
FAMILY.
IS THIS AFFORDABLE FOR EVERYDAY 
PEOPLE HERE IN NORTH KOREA?
ANYONE CAN COME HERE, IT'S MEANT
FOR ALL PEOPLE HE SAYS.
MENU ITEMS RUN FROM A FEW U.S. 
CENTS TO A FEW DOLLARS.
IT'S HARD TO CALCULATIONS 
EXACTLY HOW MUCH THE NORTH 
KOREAN EARNS, SOME ESTIMATES SAY
AN ENTIRE FAMILY MIGHT BRING IN 
$100 A MONTH.
HOUSING, HEALTHCARE, FOOD 
RATIONS AND OTHER SERVICES FREE 
FROM THE STATE.
VIRTUALLY NOBODY OWNS A CAR BUT 
CAN PAY UP TO $2 PER RIDE AT THE
AMUSEMENT PARK.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]. 
>> I'M SO HAPPY TO WATCH MY 
DAUGHTER ON THE RIDE SAYS THIS 
GRANDMOTHER.
HER FAMILY AMONG 3,000 PEOPLE AT
THE PARK CONSIDERED A BUSY 
NIGHT.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]. 
>> I'VE TRIED ALL THE RIDES SAYS
HER DAUGHTER.
THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE.
SOME MAY CONSIDER THIS AN ODD 
INVESTMENT FOR A NATION WITH 
REGULAR FOOD AND ELECTRICITY 
SHORTAGES.
BUT IT'S PART OF A PROMISE BY 
THE REGIME TO IMPROVE PEOPLE'S 
LIVING STANDARDS.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT LIFE IS LIKE 
IN PARTS OF NORTH KOREA WE'RE 
NOT ALLOWED TO VISIT.
DEFECTORS AND AID WORKERS PAINT 
A FAR DARKER PICTURE THAN THESE 
SPARKLING LIGHTS BUT HERE IN THE
CAPITAL, MORE NEW AMENITIES EACH
YE
