    I had to fly out of the Pyongyang airport and needed two North Korean guides to take me there. Then when I arrived, the airport was completely empty and I was the only one inside. Bizarre experience with Air Koryo flying me back to Beijing.
    I was on a guided tour to North Korea with a company called Young Pioneer Tours. You can book here - bit.ly/2IX3imw

    I can only show you what I am shown myself.

      I'm introverted as well and I think Pyongyang looks really nice except the government being on full 1984 mood on people which is super creepy... I wonder when North Korean people will go into korean spring mood cause they're oppressed by generations. This much oppression will always bring the same amount of hate.

    I once flew thru Helsinki, and had a long over night layover. I suppose I could have gotten a hotel, but I took a nap in the terminal. I woke up at 3:00 AM to full daylight, and there was absolutely not a single person in the airport. For several hours, I felt like I was in a sci fi movie. Love Finland!

    I feel bad for that dude at around 4:56 because you just know that all he does all day is wipe down that railing and do some other seemingly pointless repetitive task. They have literal rock cleaners in North Korea. I saw a video of some poor woman who smiled when she was talked to as she was cleaning rocks in front of tourists, likely happy that someone acknowledged her existence, only to get sad when she was told to leave. It's a heartbreaking life over there.

    I once was on the first flight out of Shanghai in the morning. I don’t know why but they made us use the last gate. I had to walk for 25 minutes after security through a completely empty airport. All the stores weren’t open yet and since I was very early, there were no other passengers. I waited in front of the gate and suddenly some other passengers came but when they saw me (foreigner) they must have assumed they were wrong because the flight was national. I asked them in Chinese if they were also going to the destination I was going to and then we were all relieved we were at the right gate. It was a big family and they somewhat adopted me during the flight. Whenever grandma handed out candy to the grandkids, I also got one 😂 turns out I was in fact the only foreigner. I know that because the flight attendant came to me and asked if my Chinese was good enough for announcements. I declined and so she gave me a private short security briefing and whenever important announcements were made she came by to translate. Was really nice.

If I wanted silver service and a stewardess that called me 'sir' then I'd fly with a suitably more lavish airline. I don't. Airplanes are not luxury travel anymore, they are literally buses with wings.
