Dont visit North Korea. Tourist dollars go straight into nuclear weapon programmes.

Why do they have to have their pockets checked? Why do they have to leave their camera's, sun glasses and coin money in the cloak room? Why all of the long instructions of what you must do, and what you mustn't do? NK sure has a lot of do's and don't s. Frankly I didn't go in some of the buidlings because they wanted me to bow to their leader which I would not do, so I told them my back hurt. They didn't like it but what could they do?

[@shipwreck9146]

+Bryan Rodgers seriously, saying that they can't have their phones and that their room keys have to stay on the bus.

[@dodoboodrough6044]

NK's especially in the tourist trade are told not to trust outsiders at all. That is why each group has at least two minders, and even those minders are watched by other minder, it's mind numbing. I've travels all over the world, and the only country that made me feel like I was in danger if I got off the beaten path was NK. I traveled freely even in China. NK's are a paranoid society not because of outsiders doing bad things, but because their leaders tell them to be that way or else.

[@shipwreck9146]

Bryan Rodgers Propaganda sucks. But at the same time, watching all 80 of these videos showed me that not everything that Americans are told about NK is true either. But at least we have access to videos like this, so that we can decide for ourselves.

[@dodoboodrough6044]

One has to try their best to filter out the propaganda on both sides. Having been to NK, and done enough reading, and watching video's I feel I have a fairly good grasp on many thing about NK, not all but many.

[@Sshooter444]

Um, maybe because its a dictatorship where the government controls all your actions?

Pyongyang looks like Washington DC. Cameras should be allowed so one can prove to the authorities that a visit was made. What if one has a seizure? Some medicines have to be carried in case of asthma or cardiac problems. The Smithsonian has displays of Washington's personal property. The big problem is that Pyongyang is off limits to most people.
