My North Korean Holiday: The Funniest / Worst Place on Earth?

An unstable Soviet dictatorship, notorious for human rights abuses and known to be developing nuclear weapons, is probably the last place most people want to visit on holiday. But one travel agency, specialising in ‘danger tourism’, regularly organises trips in North Korea for tourists keen to meet ‘the last Soviets’. We join a group of three and travel around the country. Keen to experience first hand the realities of life in a totalitarian state, we even try to escape the official tour guide...

This video is older than I first thought. At 29:49 you see a statue of Kim Il Sung, but in 2012, that statue was replaced by two statues: one of Kim Il Sung and one of his son and successor, Kim Jing Il, who had died in 2011. Also, I googled and found out that the North Koreans sunk that South Korean navy ship in March 2010, and the narrator in the video mentions that this event took place recently. And later there is a reference to Kim Jung Il as the current ruler. So, this video must be around 14 years old. It's still an interesting video, and admittedly not much changes in North Korea, but I would have appreciated your giving the correct date of this video in the description. It is really misleading to only say that the video was uploaded 2 weeks ago. At first I thought I was looking at something much more recent.

I used to be a tour guide in a country under a dictatorship. If you live in a regular country and visit one of those, please be aware of this: the degree of participation of hospitality workers in the oppression can range from being totally brainwashed and ignorant of the truth, to 100% being willing to help the regime to dupe tourists with their version of history. Either way, those poor people hope to make a little money or benefits by having access to foreign tourists, but they're also subject to heightened scrutiny by the regime. So, never forget you have all those liberties, but they will stay behind living in hell. Did you notice that the girl in the museum was never by herself? She and the group guide were very much keeping track of each other's actions. Therefore, please, be wise and learn the evil ways of dictatorships without implicating locals into violations of their rules, they could lose everything, livelihood or even life, by not sticking to the script

As someone who's lived in a communist state, I can confirm everything you've written. People in the west simply can not comprehend how opressed and inflitrated the people of NK are. They can not understand, that the state raises people to snitch on one another because it's beneficial to do so and it also draws attention away from you as you show you're a good citizen. There will be those who actually believe in their system as they never saw any other, and there will be those who just want to live in "peace" and will do whatever it takes to make their life a bit better. And in the end? The system will simply kill you should you look at wrong person at a wrong time. It's visible in this film that a significant number of people from the "hospitality" divisions are terrified of having contact with foreigners. Because they know a single word can be harshly judged by the state with long lasting and dire consequence for them. It's sad there are still places like this in modern world, but people from the outside need to understand what they're looking at.

​@@chitskirits That's so nice! Let me list some of the great things in communist states you somehow forgot to mention: 1) People getting beaten up by regular police on a daily basis. Because you're trash and in communicm nobody tries to pretend you're not. 2) People getting locked up for criticizing the state. Well... if you were too stuborn to get the message, you'd eventually dissapear and many did. The state security police was VERY effective on what they did. 3) Not being able to leave your country because normal people wouldn't get a passport in the first place, but if they did you'd still need valid (state beneficial) reason to travel anywhere. Hell, in some communist paradise states you weren't able to leave your city or village without approval! 4) Empty store shelves and bacis food products like meat being rationed, but hey... we got oranges once per year for Christmas! 5) Indeed there was no risk of being unemployed, because if you didn't get a job? You'd be forced to take one and the state made sure you worked. 6) Money you earned was pretty much worthless, especially when it came to products made outside of your own communist paradise. And let's not mention real technology, because whatever was considered "current" was out of your reach, and outdated stuff still cost a fortune. 7) While talking about fortunes? You could have billions, but unless you got a "talon" for being a good citizen? You'd never be able to buy a new car, washing machine or TV. Because those were available in such small quantities, that it was laughable. 8) And if you managed to get a car? Chances were you weren't using it because of the fuel shortages. I do remember my father being woken up by our neighbour in the middle of the night, because he was a fireman and was informed that the petrol station got just supplied. So he'd have to go, because in the morning there would be no more gas left and only the state officials knew when the next truck with petrol would come in. So you know what? I'll take eating insects over your beloved communism. I've been there, did all of the above and have nothing but contempt for totalitarian regimes and people who try to glorify them. Just like you.

@@dizzie1451 My take on this, and it's my own opinion, is that after a while in oppression you kinda "turn off" - like, you can't stand it anymore, maybe even physically. When I went to Japan, for example, everything was so "orderly" and so "proper" and everyone was so "educated" (in a probably true artificial way considering I'm a tourist) that after a while I could FEEL something similar to nausea - like, "I want to get out of here"; I could not stand the way of the country, it was simply too much for me. For context, I am Brazilian - a much worse country by all possible measurements - but the cultural differences, especially socially speaking, where couples are 30cm apart, where every store have the same routine to receive your money, pay, and give you change, where people speak with you in such a formal, professional way all the time (I know a bit of Japanese, and at the time was sufficient to keep a simple conversation), they basically bothered me a lot after 20 days there. I can only imagine how much worse that can be in a dictatorship, where everything is controlled. Imagine being treated as a possible criminal all the time, having basically no liberty at all, and being shown a narrative, like a fairy tale or a movie show, except that they are trying to convince you, all the time, that it's real, and you can't question, you can't comment, you can't even make some face because you're being watched. For a day? Maybe; for a week? Yeah, I would start to crack too, probably...

From his speech and actions, I believe that he has finally been able to see a communist "paradise" and that he is enjoying himself immensely. France's dissident community is very strong, and Communism is idealized in a lot of those types. Where most see poverty and degradation, Henri more than likely sees a version of what he believes is a utopia. Of course, he would also see himself as an intellectual and, therefore, at the top of the regime. I only say this as my father was one of these kinds and spoke about how the world "should" be, but never would take any action to make it into a reality. They are cowards and dreamers who end up doing nothing but disrupt the more stable society they live in and only cause harm to those around them. Sad, delusional people with sad, delusional lives.

32:50 The scene with the children marching, and then showing the children on the playground, made me feel something. I can't quite describe it. I'm watching these kids so enthusiastic and genuinely joyful, but I know they are going to be forced to grow into all the adults you've shown so far that have that empty happy look on their face. That expression of "I'm smiling, please don't say anything bad to my boss", you don't see that on the kids. It makes it painful to even watch them playing like nothing bad is happening. I hope they have a better future in store.

What foreign agents? The vast majority of them struggle to keep allegiance to North Korea when exposed to the 'real world' a.k.a. Not North Korea.

North Korea is a complete joke abroad and is not a real intelligence threat for any nation. However, while actually within its borders? You are fucking *insane* if you dare risk anything to displease them, including fruitless attempts to poke holes in the propaganda stream they feed you. What's it going to do? The tour runners will deny it or brush it aside, and you just look more and more worrying to the *real* handlers that are watching you both. What a fantastic way to ensure that both of you end up with an extended stay in an NK gulag - the tour giver also, most probably, for failing to quash your insubordinate line of questioning effectively. These French 'tourists' on the video are astounding me with how much they're risking their necks with useless questions and protestations while within the NK tourist system. Suicidal.

yeah but all they can think about is a cheeseburger bro. north Korea is like, whatever is less threatening than no threat at all. it's kinda sad. America could fart and half the continent would no longer exist. they are too easy of a target, that's why we put up with them. also like the guy says in the vid, we are in control over there.

This is surreal. And sickening. Poor people of North Korea. Sweden (where I live) was the first western country to establish diplomatic relations with “DPRK” (don’t ask me why it’s named “Democratic” People’s… - it’s anything but) in 1975. DPRK’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to get a place to host their embassy in Stockholm. Finally they did get to rent a big house in one of Stockholm’s absolutely most fashionable and expensive neighborhoods and streets; Villagatan 17, Östermalm. North Korea owed Sweden a lot of money since the early 1970, after a Swedish industrial commitment went south. Sweden send both VOLVO mining machines and cars to North Korea, in some kind of wishful thinking that this could be an investment. North Korea didn’t give it back to Sweden when the time had came. Instead they dismantled every machine and vehicle, and copied its parts, structures, etcetera and build ripoffs. The expensive embassy (check the house out on Google Maps) was paid with money from smuggling. DPRK’s employees at the embassy were sent to the Baltic countries to buy cigarettes and alcohol, which later was sold on the black market in Stockholm - in order to ring in money for the embassy rent. OMG! The police and the Swedish authorities raided the embassy. But the diplomats couldn’t be touched. In 1988 the embassy moved from Villagatan. I guess they weren’t welcomed any longer. North Korea is hell on earth. A twisted and totally isolated country. Sick!

There's a certain point in the life of almost every well traveled person when they get curious about "alien" destinations. I'm 36, explored abot a third of the World's countries, and I can honestly say that the itch to visit unusual places had started quite a long time ago. For example, the wife and I had plans to spend one New years eve in Pripyat (Chernobyl) but the TV series came out and made it instantly popular. I kinda never go back to the same contry, life's too short for that. And time off work is wasted doing the same thing every summer / winter year after year. Our firstborn child (now 9 months old) somewhat halted things. She'll have her first airplane flight soon, and I'll have a basic b*tch seaside resort hotel type of a vacation that I've been avoiding for around 15 years. When she's 5 we'll continue with the wonderlust. Travel, explore, open your mind.

​@@r4microds About two years ago, it was uploaded by "Best Documentary" kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5_QZodnrrV8aq8 , but copyright seems to be with Eric Lafforgue. KZbin has some longer snippets of conversations with people shown in this video. Although this video was obviously recorded around 2010, the videos I found in Eric's channel were uploaded about 6 year ago. There's probably more why he is banned from North Korea than just the few pictures shown in the video about his ban.
