Posted above is a screen shot from a ChannelNewsAsia.com report, below, on Kim Jong-Un’s New Year speech.  I was a bit taken aback by the appearance of happy, applauding Westerners in the footage.

My guess is that none of the people in the screen shot are North Koreans. According to a BBC report, tourists are allowed in North Korea, “unless they are a spy, a journalist or an American.” Tourists are closely monitored and must be escorted by a tour guide.
