Title: North Korea Tourism
Post by: CVG on February 13, 2010 09:55 PM
That's right! It turns out that North Korea has a tourism department, who knew?? It's the hardest countries to enter in the world but a pair of undercover journalists bribed a Chinese consulate to get a pair of "foreigner tourist" visas and actually book a tour into North Korea.

Their documentary is split into 3 parts but it's all worth watching believe me, wow. And not to mention these guys are pretty fucking crazy to actually do this considering North Korea only allows a number of "Chinese only" nationality visas to go there...and only an average of 2 "foreigner visas" to enter at any given time.

They put a few commercials but you can click skip right away.

My fav part is his interaction of North Koreans on the metro (where he waves at people smiling and they all look at him like "Wtf is this DEVIL AMERICAN doing here??" and yeah his time at a karaoke bar and finding a "western" song on the machine! So he's singing "I am an anarchist and I'm the antichrist!" while the group looks like  and the secret police are getting mad but going like "uhh...well he's just really drunk, right???" LOL he is so fucking lucky for all the shit he did on this tour and yeah not getting caught for filming...although they did interrogate him ironically at THE INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP museum.

Also dvvebbbsiuo yeah I did. Those are definitely worth watching too!
