I have distant second hand experience I guess. I've known two people who lived in the DPRK as transfer students, both Indonesian. They describe it to me as like most other places in Asia, just poorer. But you're right, I have no idea what it's like living there long term and I've never spoken with someone born there. It's extremely rare to personally know a North Korean, so wild stories get passed around.
