How do North Korean girls spend the winter?

Because of its high latitude, North Korea is almost as cold as Northeast my country in winter. North Korean girls, of course, firstly wrap themselves up tightly, including down jackets, scarves, and hats. Without any of them, they would not be able to survive the winter. The reason is that North Korea does not have heating now, but it was originally available in the 1970s and 1980s. However, due to subsequent sanctions, these energy sources were cut off, so most households did not have heating. Only a small number of official households or central departments had heating.

Of course, in order to survive this winter, ordinary girls will light firewood at home to keep warm. It is a bit similar to rural China, but firewood is not easy to get, especially in cities. Trees cannot be cut down randomly. I went outside to pick up some, but there weren’t many, so the winter was still very difficult.

And in order to prevent wind, if you build a slightly higher floor, you need to use plastic sheets to seal the doors and windows of your home. When sleeping, everyone also has to go into a tent set up with plastic sheets. This can keep you warmer.
