      One of the local barbers put up pictures of North Korean haircuts to mock Kim Jong Un's policies. North Korea visited and formally complained about it, clearly their staff had seen it. They were kindly told to fuck off, this is a free country, it's not Eritrea. Or North Korea. lol

    Any Embassy will help you. Oh how true, and they use that to their advantage. One time , when I was travelling through Aussie, I tried to visit my Canadian Embassy. Turned out it was a Aussie National holiday so Embassy was closed with a note on the gate to go to the INDIA embassy. Went there and cautiously asked about my concern. They happily assisted me and explained that all the commonwealth embassies took turns being open for Aussie holidays for all commonwealth citizens. I thought that was a great way to run diplomatic relations.

    • @Spacemongerr
      @Spacemongerr 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      But they helped you because they were a commonwealth country that had a deal with other commonwealth embassies and you're a commonwealth citizen. So your first sentence is not true.
      I liked your story though, interesting! In some countries Norwegian and Swedish embassies cooperate like this, probably many countries do.

      In Canberra, the British, Canadian, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea (former Australian territory) High Commissions are all next to each other on the road leading up the hill to Parliament House. Most of the other embassies are in the suburb of Yarralumla, on big blocks of land that make it look like, well, something between a college campus and a garden cemetery.

    Britain and Japan had a longstanding intelligence alliance from the Meiji restoration to right before WWII, which led to a lot of shared developments such as both countries being the first to develop dreadnought and dreadnought-style warships. Japan's railroad system was not necessarily attached to that, though, and was rather a product of Japan's modernization efforts in the late 19th century.

      I know you sort of implied it in your last sentence, but I think it should be clarified that the 'high commission' identifier is only applied to the diplomatic missions of Commonwealth countries within other Commonwealth countries. So, for example, the Australian diplomatic missions in Washington D.C. and Beijing are still referred to as an 'embassies' because the United States and the People's Republic of China are not part of the Commonwealth.

I promptly jumped the fence and ran around with my t-shirt over my face. A lady in her old grandma style night clothes opened an upstairs door and looked confused in my general direction ...

    The purpose of an embassy is to assist citizens of its home country living, working or travelling overseas - not sure how busy the desk is in dealing with all those North Korean tourists in London, but I'm sure that the Room 39 desk that operates a vast network of informants who monitor and report to the authorities fellow citizens they suspect of criminal or subversive behaviour and allegedly uses money from drug smuggling, money laundering, and human trafficking to keep North Korean elites living in luxury is overworked.

    Here in Sweden We have one/ two ish embassy areas. They are very big and contain a lot of embassies (US, UK and so on) which isn’t super central but still just on the edge and people still count it. One day I was out jogging on ”Lidingö” (an island right outside Stockholm) and I saw a large residential building at the side of one of the larger roads on the island. The windows had all the blinds closed and looked creepy as shit. I looked around to see the front gate where I saw of course “democratic people’s Republic of Korea”. At that point I decided it was best I not snoop around and continued my run. This was kilometers away from the normal embassy area and it’s just so strangely placed. The only other embassy on the island is Iran. Strange combo. But that’s further down and has signs leading up to it and is way more official with a big compound and isn’t in like a huge residential area. This one was just odly placed in a normal looking house in a normal residential area. Strange country that is.
