Comments on: The Vice Guide To Travel: North Korea http://www.newslobster.com/videos/the-vice-guide-to-travel-north-korea Funny videos, the occasional news article, and the best of random crap on the web Thu, 08 Jul 2010 04:35:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: neski http://www.newslobster.com/videos/the-vice-guide-to-travel-north-korea#comment-4476 neski Fri, 19 Jun 2009 07:38:50 +0000 http://www.newslobster.com/?p=486#comment-4476 Can't say I noticed the ad. Played one per 20 minute clip. Fantastic. As for the N. Korea beyond the tour, I'm not sure you'll find too much more than those few electricity-less shells of towns. People living, almost literally, in the dark ages. It is truly bot tragic and terrifying. Can’t say I noticed the ad. Played one per 20 minute clip. Fantastic. As for the N.

It reminds me of East Germany in the early 1980's. Tours in Berlin were controlled in exactly the same way, but when one saw the countryside farmers were working fields by hand (!) and with 1950's broken down John Deere tractors. I had the same experience of being in restaurants which were reserved only for the tourists. It is sad that even Cambodia, after 20 years of Pol Pot, is more connected with the wider world today. Thanks for posting this!
