North Korea Vacation Guide
North Korea DPRK is possibly the worlds most extraordinary country, leaving you confounded and bewildered at every turn. It could be described as a huge human experiment or even a zoo but also is a land where the sense of community, solidarity and achievement of the group is immense and very touching.
The culture is one of a personality cult of the leadership which to some extend has overtaken reason and led to him become a national passion.
Travelling to closed North Korea is similar to early 1980s Maos China, in that it is like travelling to another time but without anacronisms. To a land without advertising or markets, where modern buildings are modelled on 1960s architechure with shops being empty and every focus is about pleasing The great leaders dream. The tour (as independent travel is not allowed) takes you to fascinating parts of the country, to see the mass games (possibly the world most amazing show), to see Juche (their ideology) in practice in the fields, meet generals from the peoples republic army, and amazingly seeing the odd foreign national who has defected TO the DPRK. There is so much more than just this to see in your packed and fascinating time there.
The guides are a mine of information and give such a detailed perspective of life in the DPRK.
A final perspective is that the media we receive about North Korea is almost as distorted view of them as their media is of us. Travelling there is really only for the open-minded and adventurous.
