I am far more worried about getting hit by a driver during rush hour that is texting while driving than by any gunfire. There are some places you really don't want to be walking around at 3 AM and certainly by yourself, but those kind of places exist all over the world. Seriously, your chance of getting hit by a car or even by lightning is about the same as getting hit by gunfire.

Hi. Super interesting video. I am also planning to go to Poyngyang from Beijing. But how do you get from Beijing to Dandong train station? Was everything organised and included with the package from Young Pioneer Tours?
North Korea is the safest country in the world, hardly any crime takes place here compared to Western countries like the US and Jamaica. I want more people to visit to show them that they shouldn’t always believe in what Western media tells them. We’re opening up and are ready for more tourists to visit our awesome nation
Roy I don’t know it’s called respect.. or I wouldn’t put it that way because everyone even tourist have to bow and give flowers to the great supreme leader.. I’m not really sure what happens if they don’t bow? Let alone a tourist.. but all I know that it would not be good
Hi a great set of videos and I really enjoyed them so much. I would not go anywhere near North Korea have no desire ton visit that country whatsoever. Thank you for making these videos.
Going to north korea is like going to westworld in the tv show. If you don't see the ethical issues any such travel creates, then I guess you're exactly the type of individual that these experiences are targeted for.
I would love to go, but will likely never get to as don't want to have visa issues going to the US which I normally visit once a year which is a shame.
The worrying aspects of just personal safety, plus the £500 fund required is a massive turn off... Which sucks because i was wanting to look into how things are done.
I really wanted to North Korea atleast once in my life. Thanks for this informative video. Every country got it's own law. As a tourist we should respect it .
I've always been fascinated with the Hermit Kingdom as its such a weird place. A time machine is a good way to describe it, a time machine with some wacky stuff. I want to go there to hike Mt.

I'm well aware my money would fund the government, and although I'm not a fan of their system, I still want to see the country in person instead of just on the media. I can't go there now because of the US tourism ban but once we have better ties and the ban is lifted, I will make a visit. I've done a lot of research about the rules, I'm ready

It's wrong to compare NoKo to just any other country with different laws. In most places "getting in trouble" means a fine, having your wallet stolen or maximum being deported. In NoKo any little stupid mistake could get you arrested, tortured or executed. It's an act of superb recklessness to go there.

But i am from Bulgaria a former soviet country and my parents and grandparents got to experience it but i was born 1995 so i only grew up surrounded by remnants of it.. buildings, music, movies, cars and furniture...and stories from the people around me.. and through my eyes communism was great! Communism brought our country to its peak..in every sphere.. my country was in its best state during that era.. clean streets, polite people, no crime, discipline in schools, excellent students who later on became world famous architects, doctors, mathematicians, scientists..we invented a lot of things as well during that period, we won lots of world medals.., competitions etc.. we has free Healthcare, education etc. Secure jobs and homes for everyone..my parents and grandparents always look back with nostalgia towards these times.. and i grew up also loving that era.. anything from architecture to clothing style.. the life truly seemed ideal. And i know lots of people bash it and hate it and only look at the negatives of that time.. but i wanna go and look at the positives.. and "go back in time" as much as i can.. all we have in Bulgaria from that time now is decaying buildings, old cars left to rot, and all the mafia and gypsies rulling the country! I want to experience communist atmosphere in its full glory! I really hope one day i can bring my child as well!
Hi Jord, Kinda wondering, if i am as a Muslim go to North Korea. Is there any Mosque? Or a place to pray? And, if there's a person travel with Hijab. Is there any possibility that she'll get reject to enter the country because of the Hijab?
Should you? No. While I love off the beaten path destinations - and NK is about as off the beaten path as you can get as regards tourism - it is morally wrong to support such a vile, criminal regime with your foreign currency. That would be the case even if security wasn’t a concern, which it definitely is (especially if you’re a U.S. citizen, as the Otto Warbier incident shows).
Gosh what a willing little child you are you honestly think it's good that the United States has said you can't visit a country? You have no self respect. Such a dutiful citizen.
As an American, watching videos about North Korea has given me interest to travel to North Korea but thank god the laws are stopping me
