Tourists trip to North Korea (aka visiting 1984 by George Orwell)

Wanna know how actually bad it is in North Korea? Well, dont take my word for it, see below links to view photos and testimonies of actual tourists to the world's WORST dictatorship by far, the best inpersonation of George Orwell's 1984. ENJOY!!!

Ya me too. But I don't want my money to go to propping up such a regieme. I really just want to go see it for selfish reasons, because I think it is the closest one can get to time-travel and live out those 'alternative' world visions we read and see.

Exactly my thoughts! Guess it's hard to find independent travel agents too

This was posted about 6 months ago, and I went to go back to it to get one of the photo's, and they had been removed.

Thanks for putting this back up, Now I'll hopefully be able to find the photo I'm after.
