      so, dude iam watching through your episodes of North korea, but u tell every episode, u didnt expect "this". since iam from german and eng is not my nativ language excuse my bad grammar. i wanna ask u what did u expect from north korea and are u a U.S citizen? what is the us propaganda about north korea? iam asking because u can easyli get all these information about north korea when u search a little bit online. i wonder if there is not just a north korean side of fals information about us, but a us side of fals information about north korea aswell? thanks for the nice vids,(good work mate) i will watch on now, and gonna subscripe :D much love from germany

      Straight up, I think that'd actually work. I for one need to take a long break from it all but it's always there wherever you go.
      Phones, TVs, other gadgets in general too. I'd love it if I could just have a whole month away from it all and just spend a trip swimming, hiking, bike riding etc. which oddly enough are all things you can do in NK without temptation since they don't have anything lol

The televisions there spew hateful old war propaganda and he convinces everyone in NK that the way they live is what it is like elsewhere...

I am surprised Indigo Traveller was able to reveal so many aspects of North Korea. North Korea has been known as the Hermit Kingdom in times past. I really appreciated the scenes of schoolgirls in their classroom. They were well dressed and I think they are being well educated. The scenery of North Korea is wonderful.

    Before watching the video Nick I just want to say how much I like your channel. I found you because of your first North Korea video and since then I've started watching all of your other videos and you've changed my mind on how expensive travelling is and how much more affordable it can be.
    I'm from Canada and towards the end of summer I want to travel to Iceland for 2 weeks, I was just wondering do you often use airbnb for all your travelling accommodations and do you have any tips for finding the best priced flights, because I really want to find the best possible price for flying to Iceland.

      Echoing Dylan's comments here :) found your channel through the North Korea series and I'm absolutely loving it!
      Also Dylan, I pretty much use Air Bnb for all of my accommodation now days - it's proving super useful. Can find anything on there and also a great balance of affordability and comfort. As for flights I just use Skyscanner and try to book in advance as far as possible...I've heard weird ones like they're cheaper on Tuesdays? And I have this weird paranoia that if I keep checking a flight it'll boost the price(?!), so once I've seen the one I want I either book it there and then, or don't look again until I'm ready to book haha...hope that helps man

    I am aware that the guides are only showing the best parts about the DPRK, but how beautiful are the last two hotels you've stayed in? Just amazing, the attention to detail. In addition, with my ski jumping knowledge, I would say that that is a medium or regular hill, if you had the opportunity, check out places like Planica or Harrachov, to name a few, where they have giant hills of more than 200 meters.

      @@TheMelopeus the thing is in NK you're forced to have a tour guide, and it's common under communist/fascist regimes that you never hear bad news or ugly part of your country. In America, when i visited i never got a tour guide and I've seen the ugly and beautiful and was even told a rape/attack happen close to the hotel. in a regime state, I would've never heard of it or know how much crime happens. communist/facist regime builds on a lot of lies and deception. however, a communist/fascist regime isn't afraid to have blood on it hands.

You think, hey my country have ugly side but why don't they. Because you are unable to think something different. Once you have assisted Hitler to make Nazi Germany militarily strong by giving him investment, soft loans and all other kind of assistance. And now, you are writing "communist/fascist", bloody blockhead.

    I've been an expat in south-west Japan for just over 23 years, and all they show on TV here, as pretty much everywhere, is how evil and dark North Korea is. But these videos are eye-opening and bringing a view of NK we'd never normally get to see. The people for the most part, although suspicious of foreigners, seem friendly enough. One can only hope that one day NK will be free again and part of the global community.

    It's like one of the most beautiful beaches I have seen. Look at the pristine blue sea (before reaching beach) - that was one of the best seas I have seen. The climate also looked good.

    It's almost a shame that the actual citizens of that country aren't legally allowed to enjoy the beauty of their own homeland. So glad you documented your "amazing" trip while the people that live there every day are afraid for their lives. Great vlogs!

    Did you ever wondered to visit Russia? You know, there's also a lot of talks about danger, rude mentality, anti-american attitude and sort of it, but there's a lot of things changed in last several years and as long as you've visited so much countries, gained so much experience, I'm interested in your opinion.

    When I first ran across this channel (Uzbekistan vlog) I thought you were a big hit already because your videos were so professional and it was high quality content (something you don’t see very often anymore) but when I saw the subscribers and views I immediately thought you were very underrated. I believe this channel will grow because I see a lot of Potential with you and this channel and hey who know’s you could become the Anthony Bourdain of CZcams lol. And also you try to interact with your fanbase and are very kind to them (which is also kinda rare on CZcams) and I really appreciate that. Best of wishes!

    I find North Korea to be one of the most beautiful countries in the world. I mean that architecture wise. Obviously what you see in Pyongyang is heavily staged etc. However if that awful regime ever gets broken and welfare spreads throughout the country, it could be one of the most beautiful countries on earth. Nonetheless, good video as always, I really enjoy this series.

      And the West should stop putting those sanctions and make them trade freely for development and invest in them.

    • @MMDesignsAPB
      @MMDesignsAPB Před 6 lety +12

      The problem is that investing into North Korea right now will only fund the regime. There needs to be progress surrounding the leaders or you're just investing in more military instead of the people who need it.

    • @bisso5467
      @bisso5467 Před 6 lety +4

      Rev you can invest in a lot of things. First stop the sanctions, you cannot agree to starve the whole country just coz it will benifit its leader. Investment can be done on the condition that it reaches the people. Anywhere in the world those in power always benifits so its hypocritical to single out NK. In the US, 50% of taxes go to defence spending.

    • @MMDesignsAPB
      @MMDesignsAPB Před 6 lety +8

      My point is that the regime will let the population starve regardless of outside investment. They don't seem to care about them whatsoever.

    When I saw the snacks you were given on the fairy I couldn’t help but get so mad that there are people who have to find the time to catch insects to eat that day, and they’re giving the tourists free snacks just like that, to show opulence… it’s enraging!
    Also, imagine the fact that every person you saw that day was probably starving and the people who served you the food had to be terrified not to stare at your food…
    I grew up with an abusive mom and she’d deprive me of good food and cool toys, but she would buy them for my friends whenever we went to visit them, and she would make me present it to them… I can’t help but channel that feeling whenever someone serves you the abundant food while being so goddamn hungry…
    (BTW, when I grew up I made sure to remain generous and give people gifts and good food, but I would ALWAYS buy something for myself as well, so that I never feel like I’m not getting what I wanted).

    You certainly seem to strike the appropriate tone of appreciation and subservience that the people of the DPRK seem to want from their tourist visitors. I have zero desire to actually go there myself, so it's interesting to see the sites there, as I love to travel. Thanks for recording your experiences

      It's a characteristic to every communist regime I believe. Coming from Romania, I can attest that we had the same situation here with Ceausescu. His picture was everywhere, and everything else you see in these videos look strangely familiar to me. It's like they have a certain recipe for indoctrination. The leader was God, we were not allowed religion (my father was in the military and I had to be baptized in secret at home), the ritualistic "demonstrations of affection" towards the leaders, even down to the pioneers (the kids with the red scarves), the somber dark clothes, sad faces, architecture. The leaders had gold taps in their bathrooms, meanwhile normal folk had rations cards for 1kg of sugar and 1l of rapeseed oil a month.
      I am pretty sure that if someone were to make a video putting together side by side every other communist country, you will see the same patterns everywhere.
