We were sitting there with our tour group, and suddenly all the other diners left and these women came out and started singing North Korean nationalist songs. We were thinking, “Look, we were just on a plane for 20 hours. We’re jet-lagged. Can we just go to bed?” but this guy with our group who was from the LA Times told us, “Everyone in here besides us is secret police. If you don’t act excited then you’re not going to get your visa. So we got drunk and jumped up onstage and sang songs with the girls. The next day we got our visas. A lot of people we had gone with didn’t get theirs. That was our first hint at just what a freaky, freaky trip we were embarking on…

Just seeing the way the woman soldiers march for their glorious leader scares the hell outta me. I bet they know Kung fu and can beat the crap out of any man!

I remember an interview with an officer who's post overlooked the DMZ. He was under the impression that everone wanted to attack his country as it was the model to which all aspired!:o

Brainwash. World isn't half the horse biscuits the government there would speak of anyways. Strange damn place as it is, I sure hope it can find an independence. Common folk deserve a right in the world as much as any social "bracket".

EDIT: *hangs head* I mean, everyone deserves to know what the rest of the world is up to, so as to make up their own minds as to what they should do as a people.

^^ Who is that nutjob. :shifty:

I still need to watch the other two videos. That first one creeped me out. Fourty-seven floors and only one of those occupied. I look out that window with him and I suddenly wonder where all the life is. It's like an episode from The Outer Limits - the banquet, everything. All of those buildings are dirty and unkept. Leaves me to ponder if anyone actually lives there or if they get transported in for indoctrination sessions.

Absolutely the most bizarre thing I've seen in a long time. Thank you for the linkage, Neal. Always wondered, now I have a better perspective :salute:.

In the history of my nation, there has always been at some level a feeling of anti-americanism, anti-imperialism (both American & British) or whatever you want to call it. This is somewhat understandable since we have been exploited (especially during the industrial revolution).

But people here created and joined labor unions for better quality of life, I mean they (we) did not give up our freedom!!

I guess we (or at least me) are trying to take what's best from americans and we try to protect ourselves from their flaws.

I mean they (the Koreans) are thousands miles away from the United States and they are freaking.. ..we're just few miles away and we're not...

I hope for them that some day they will realize that being open-minded is a great thing, and that doesn't mean to approve everything. :hmmm:

The world would be a really boring place if all countries were exactly alike. And loaded with HGH and/or transfats. :O: :D

Just finished watching the last two video segments -- what a mind-blower. "The Land That Time Forgot". Anyone else have some perspective to share on this subject? I'm just kinda blathering away to myself in one of those empty cafes. :ping:

At the airport, the North Korean consulate took our passports and all of our money, then brought us to a restaurant. We were sitting there with our tour group, and suddenly all the other diners left and these women came out and started singing North Korean nationalist songs.

Typical of totalitarian state...

The situation in North Korea would deteriorate into war even with this planned talks coming around again. North Korea and its tactics of brinkmanship . . .

The last half of the third segment of Vice Guide to NK kinda fits into the first part of above video.

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 06:00 PM.
