North Korea is (by a long shot) the world's most interesting country. I visited the capital city of Pyongyang in April 2017, way back when I first got my hands on a video camera, and luckily I was able to document it. It was a wild trip, to say the least, and I'm glad that I can share my experiences with you in this video.
Buckle up for the next 9 minutes as I take you deep inside Pyongyang, North Korea to see how many things I could buy for $10 USD or less -- I think you will be quite surprised!

Daily Life in Hamhung, North Korea (DPRK)
Haeju - South Hwanghae Province, DPRK (North Korea)
Video taken in the Central Square of Haeju in South Hwanghae Province, North Korea.
The bronze statue is that of a younger President Kim Il Sung.
This city is hardly ever visited by foreigners and the architecture of the the area has strong soviet style features.
It is also close to a wide variety of medieval sites, ravines and valleys, thus offering a combination of socialist Korea, medieval Korea and stunning beauty.
Please check our following link for more details:
Video tomado en la Plaza Central de Haeju en la provincia de Hwanghae del Sur en Corea del Norte (RPDC).
La estatua de bronze muestra a un joven Presidente Kim Il Sung.
La ciudad de Haeju apenas es visitada por extranjeros. Su arquitectura tiene aspectos de edificios soviéticos aún más fuertes que el de otras ciudades de Corea del Norte.
Se encuentra también cerca de puntos históricos medievales, barrancos, valles y montañas, lo cual hace que la zona ofrezca a los visitantes la oportunidad de ver distintos aspectos de Corea.

In today's video, I share my honest thoughts with you about North Korea after 4 years since my visit... I didn't mention in the video that I am one of the very last Americans to step foot in the country because a few months after I left, all Americans were banned from visiting (which is still in effect today).
I often think about North Korea and I wanted to take this time to re-tell my story, share my thoughts, and also get some feedback from you. What are your opinions about North Korea? Would you ever visit North Korea?

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.

DPR Korea North Hamgyong Province
Bus ride through the countryside.
Chongjin, DPR Korea (North Korea) Volume 2
Chŏngjin is the capital of North Korea's North Hamgyong Province and the country's 3rd largest city. It is sometimes called the City of Iron. The Kimchaek Iron & Steel factory is a large part of the landscape in the city.
map of North Korea
North Korea, officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), is a country in East Asia, constituting the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. It borders China and Russia to the north, at the Yalu (Amnok) and Tumen rivers, and South Korea to the south at the Korean Demilitarized Zone. Its western border is formed by the Yellow Sea, while its eastern border is defined by the Sea of Japan. North Korea, like its southern counterpart, claims to be the legitimate government of the entire peninsula and adjacent islands. Pyongyang is the country's capital and largest city.
In 1910, Korea was annexed by the Empire of Japan. In 1945, after the Japanese surrender at the end of World War II, Korea was divided into two zones along the 38th parallel, with the north occupied by the Soviet Union and the south occupied by the United States. Negotiations on reunification failed, and in 1948, separate governments were formed: the socialist DPRK in the north, and the capitalist Republic of Korea in the south. The Korean War began in 1950, with an invasion by North Korea, and lasted to 1953. The Korean Armistice Agreement brought about a ceasefire and established a demilitarized zone (DMZ), but no formal peace treaty was ever signed.
According to Article 1 of the state constitution, North Korea is an independent socialist state. It holds elections, though they have been described by independent observers as sham elections, as North Korea is a totalitarian dictatorship, with an elaborate cult of personality around the Kim dynasty. The Workers' Party of Korea, led by a member of the ruling family, is the dominant party and leads the Democratic Front for the Reunification of Korea, of which all political officers are required to be members.
According to Article 3 of the constitution, Juche is the official ideology of North Korea. The means of production are owned by the state through state-run enterprises and collectivized farms. Most services—such as healthcare, education, housing, and food production—are subsidized or state-funded. From 1994 to 1998, North Korea suffered a famine that resulted in the deaths of between 240,000 and 420,000 people, and the population continues to suffer from malnutrition. North Korea occupies the northern portion of the Korean Peninsula, lying between latitudes 37° and 43°N, and longitudes 124° and 131°E. It covers an area of 120,540 square kilometers (46,541 sq mi). To its west are the Yellow Sea and Korea Bay, and to its east lies Japan across the Sea of Japan.
Early European visitors to Korea remarked that the country resembled a sea in a heavy gale because of the many successive mountain ranges that crisscross the peninsula. Some 80 percent of North Korea is composed of mountains and uplands, separated by deep and narrow valleys. All of the Korean Peninsula's mountains with elevations of 2,000 meters (6,600 ft) or more are located in North Korea. The highest point in North Korea is Paektu Mountain, a volcanic mountain with an elevation of 2,744 meters (9,003 ft) above sea level.[95] Considered a sacred place by North Koreans, Mount Paektu holds significance in Korean culture and has been incorporated in the elaborate folklore and personality cult around the Kim dynasty.
North Korea follows Songun, or military first policy, for its Korean People's Army. It possesses nuclear weapons, and is the country with the second highest number of military and paramilitary personnel, with a total of 7.769 million active, reserve, and paramilitary personnel, or approximately 30% of its population. Its active duty army of 1.28 million soldiers is the fourth-largest in the world, consisting of 5% of its population. A 2014 inquiry by the United Nations into abuses Pyongyang 평양직할시 (Chung-guyok)

Hamhung City Street Scenes - North Korea, DPRK
2 minute view out on the street in Hamhung City, North Korea, DPRK. Hamhung is in the North East of the country near the Bay of the East (Yellow) Sea and is a major industrial area. A farmer walks his bullock and cart down the main street / side walk - and one of the many steam / gas powered trucks which we weren't allowed to film. Shot in front of the Sinhungsan Hotel in Hamhung (39.914798°, 127.528507°). Thanks for reminding me where this was NKeconWatch :-)

Children's camp in Hamhung, North Korea
Another reason visiting North Korea became one of my most educational and thought-provoking experiences, as well as of my travel-mates. This experience was too incredible not to include it on my blog's main page (if you haven't been reading my North Korea posts, click -- -- to see the videos I've been posting of my trip there last April -- some inspirational, all educational).
Our tour bus took us to a kids camp in Hamhung, North Korea, then to the city. I don't know how they chose to take us to see kids, but it seems they brought us to a lot of kids places.
After our amazing experiences interacting with North Koreans directly at Kim Il Sung Square -- -- as well as playing Ultimate Frisbee in Pyongyang the year before -- -- we were poised to have fun with the kids.
I think beyond that, the videos need little explanation. It was an amazing experience in North Korea.
Sorry about the buzzing sound at the beginning. It goes away.
In the second part, when I did the fist-bumps, maybe as an American in North Korea I shouldn't have been saying boom.
The kids love being on camera. Between takes I showed them themselves in pictures on the screen on the back of my camera. Needless to say, they loved it.
The last part starts with Jordan showing the kids pictures from his camera, then shows the kids, then shows the difficulty of leaving when you're having so much fun.
I posted more about this video here --
Tour of North Korea: A Compilation of Photos & Videos
I traveled to North Korea in August 2011 with three friends - one fellow Canadian and two Americans. All visitors to the DPRK are required to go with a tour operator. We went with Young Pioneer Tours, which has since been thrust into the international spotlight in the aftermath of Otto Warmbier's detainment and death. Warmbier was traveling with Young Pioneer Tours when he was detained by North Korean officials for allegedly stealing a poster. He subsequently fell into a coma, and died upon returning home. It remains a baffling tragedy, and we may never know what really happened.
My own experience with Young Pioneer Tours was nothing but positive, and my trip to the so-called hermit kingdom was surreal and fascinating. Surreal because I was stepping inside the most reclusive country in the world, and fascinating because despite the artificiality of only being able to tour certain parts and see certain things - some presumably staged - it still gave me a glimpse inside what is perhaps the strangest place on earth (the assumption that some things were staged simply added to the strangeness).
Guides from Young Pioneer Tours debriefed with us in Beijing prior to the trip, during which time we were told what we can and can't/shouldn't do. These rules were clear from the start.
I am aware that some believe visiting North Korea to be unethical. But I believe it is an opportunity for engagement, however small. Without visitors, the country would be completely isolated, and that is never a good thing. As for the tourism money going toward a monstrous regime - the profit is so paltry that it doesn't make a difference. This debate over ethics is necessary, but I do believe leaving the door shut would mean a further loss of hope for those living inside the country.
