Buying is the "****ing language" of the world's people, and the North Koreans are no exception, with plenty of local shopping malls, especially this year's Pyongyang Ayutthaya Department Store, which was used as a tribute to the 107th anniversary of the birth of the late North Korean leader Kim Il Sung and as one of the major events celebrating the Day of the Sun. Department Store.

So, what's it like to shop their biggest local mall in North Korea?

The Ayutthaya Department Store is a modern, large-scale mall with six floors, one underground and five above ground. This is the same as in China, and each floor has a different function and a different division of labor.

The first floor of the Ayutthaya Department Store is the supermarket grocery section, which mainly sells various kinds of dry food, drinks and other snack products. In front of the counter, you can see that the bottles of Coke have "Cocoa Carbonated Drink" written on them, and the price of a 250 ml bottle of Coke is 900 dongs. In addition to Coke, various flavors of fruit juices such as apple and pineapple are also displayed on the shelves. A packet of instant noodles with the words "instant noodles" was priced at 1,900 won.

Both in China and North Korea, shoppers with shopping carts can be seen everywhere in shopping malls, some carefully scrutinizing the descriptions on the bags, while others seem to have a plan and go straight to their targets, putting them in their carts without looking.

The second floor of the mall is a general sales area, mainly selling adult clothing, and those gorgeous ethnic costumes will be placed in the most prominent position. Billboards with North Korean models wearing new fashions are everywhere in the mall. There is also an electronic goods section on this floor, with home appliances such as 4K ultra-high-definition LCD televisions and double-door high-power refrigerators all for sale.

The third floor of the mall sells shoes and bags, as well as high-end products, and we can see a lot of foreign imports on the shelves.

The fourth and fifth floors of the mall are the dining area, which is dominated by local Korean cuisine, with water bars, teppanyaki and Korean barbecue counters filled with customers, as well as Asian and European food areas. Customers can choose from a variety of flavors at will.

The mall has cash counters on every floor, though card machines are not available for the time being and only cash is accepted.

The best thing about visiting the Ayutthaya Department Store, North Korea's "world-class shopping mall," is that the mall is always a favorite place to visit, no matter where you are. The shopping mall was just like a Chinese supermarket before the Chinese New Year, with huge crowds and long lines for food, similar to every shopping mall in China.
