Would you ever go on a tour of North Korea?

fdsasdasdf · 11-19-2009, 10:33 PM

Yeah, I'd probably gut it out.

...or be gutted out in the process. Who knows. But I'd do it just to tell the story (if I made it back).

Would you?

And yes, guided tours of North Korea apparently do exist.

the videos are not in black in white, it's really like that, that's how evil they are... hehe

Scorpion · 11-19-2009, 11:08 PM

Actually read most of the stuff from wiki, pretty interesting. To sum it up, dont screw up lol. I would go to visit though.

mikeokimster · 11-19-2009, 11:15 PM

The closest I ever got was witin a km or two from the border. It's really assuring having land mines spanning the beach as you are driving by in a bus.

MontegoGoGoGo · 11-19-2009, 11:27 PM

Ahem, excuse me, but I would please, if it's not too much trouble, like to get a HELLLLL NOOOOO!

Topless 335i · 11-19-2009, 11:30 PM

If I had the opportunity I wouldn't think twice. It's something I'll probably do in the future.

Mega Man · 11-19-2009, 11:33 PM

Given that I don't speak Korean, and I think I could get in trouble for speaking Japanese there...I don't think I would any time in the near future...

However, I have an interest in visiting Seoul...

sokdo · 11-19-2009, 11:56 PM

I've seen the border actually from this one lookout point and I saw buses actually going into N.Korea from S. Korea and I was like " oh fk that. I ain't going over there" lol.

8th Wonder · 11-20-2009, 12:01 AM

i would do it without thinking twice about it. the more obscure the trip, the better.

mpimping · 11-20-2009, 02:56 AM

Not now but maybe if it wasn't unified. My mom escaped from there after it became communist. They would kill her if she went and I have no reason to go there. My cousins dad was against the gov(nk) and when he died he was honored by the sk gov. They are all whacked even the ones that escaped. My cuz is a dentist, lol. His mom wanted him to be a doctor. He isn't dumb he just sucks. His bro is a scientist. One of my customers went their like 3 or maybe 4 years ago on business. He was a jeweler but didn't know wht kind of bs he was doing. I always though you couldn't go there at all but he said he had a permit. He's fucked now also because his jewelery store is no more. Sad but I guess a fine jwry store in the bronx doesn't work even in rvdle.

zhangzeyuandss · 11-20-2009, 03:19 AM

i've been there personally .. so.. i am telling you if you want a decent vacation that is a no go for you .lol.. seriously.. i am only there because i have to otherwise i would not even consider going there

persian54 · 11-20-2009, 03:21 AM

I'll hit up South... but not too sure about North...

mpimping · 11-20-2009, 03:25 AM

Nk and sk beat italy in the world cup. Korea is better than italy. Lol

UncleWede · 11-23-2009, 11:23 AM

My wife might get us a trip to sk from her work. If the opportunity were to arise, I'd cross over the border. In a sick, demented kind of way it's like those stickers on a mobile home

Best regards,
Wede
