VICE GUIDE TO NORTH KOREA

http://www.vbs.tv/watch/the-vice-guide-to-travel/vice-guide-to-north-korea-1-of-3 part 1 of 3...2 and 3 on site.

here is a link to vice tv for a video that was made by a guy who explains his experience of going/getting into north korea. very bizarre, frightening, sad and seems like another planet, maybe? it shows a lot of older footage from north korea of the military being commy together, plus new footage, which i thought was good, being able to mix old and new footage. i also found it really interesting learning about how people get in, considering they let almost know one come in, and then you see how they treat the people who do get in, taking tourists to tour places that symbolize the tourists home land failing at entering into their country, while at the same time realizing how isolated everything is. if you get time, i recommend watching it.

  1. I watched this before...it was really interesting.

    They also have a video on that website about Columbia which was good as well.
