Gallery – North Korea
— July 9, 2013Getting to North Korea is the easy part – the real dilemma is whether or not to go. By visiting one of the world’s most isolated regimes are you condoning what goes on there, does it mean you’re ok with throwing political prisoners in labor camps – for three generations? It’s one of the few places cut off from the rest of the world – forget not having Facebook or Google, they don’t even have the Internet. If you go to North Korea, go well informed. Read up as much as you can – and then leave the books at home.
