[@FvckJDM]

Man I've seen so many north Korean tours. It's so cool to see a different prospective that each traveler presents. Each tour I watch kinda focuses on something different even if it's the same exact tour as every other youtuber. It also seems like the minders were WAY more chill then other tours I've seen. But it's possible its because of the tour group. That guy did say he had been 70 times. I'm sure him knowing the customs and consistently being respectful goes along way with them. The guide in the white shirt seemed so much genuinely friendlier then any of the others I've seen. And I've watch probably every DPRK tour on KZbin.

[@JessicaGarcia-xf9wr]

FvckJDM I notice that as wel... same videos about NK but different POV’s and your right.. even the Chinese have vlogs of North Korea and are way more friendlier with them than Americans

@@MediaDestroyer I get what you're saying. I feel like I would be walking on eggshells though and constantly worried about letting something slip out that I shouldn't say. Or even gesturing in a way that I didn't realize was taboo or something. I'm very critical of North Korea in conversations with friends so I feel like I would inevitably say something they would consider horribly offensive without fully realizing it beforehand. Hence, nervous for me personally!
