Yeah there's thrill seeking and also "my nuts might get roasted over open flames" type of places. I'm good with dying and never seeing these places

Americans shouldn’t go to shite hole countries.
Since around the time Covid made landfall and certainly since George Floyd died on a Minneapolis street corner, America has resembled a 3rd world country more than it has America before then. Why waste time and money going halfway across the world when the chaos you are looking for is within your own native border.

That story still creeps me out. If some guys from Sweden or somewhere in Europe who were there hadn’t seen him and got the story out, the guy would have just disappeared and we would have never heard of him.

And the North Koreans were just like “we found him this way.”

What drove you to want to travel to NK?

If you want to die just go to New Orleans East

This cat traveled to N. Korea after Otto and chronicles it. He mentions Otto and shows the hotel where it went down.

I do. I’m still pissed about what the NORKs did to him. We were around the same age when he was captured, and it always resonated with me. He pulls a harmless prank and the commie thugs tortured him to death. Meanwhile, the Obama admin told his parents they couldn’t talk about his ordeal publicly. Getting Otto home was one of Trump’s first major achievements. At least his parents got some closure.

I wish Iran would get a regime change. So many interesting places in that country and great history. Just not a place for Americans for the last 45 years.

I would like to see the Aladaglar Mountains in person. The photos I’ve seen of them are stunning.

Why would you even go there?

ive been to over 50 countries and was living in Beijing at the time, and knew quite a few westerners that had been. Kind of like a bucket list thing. Outside of the Otto story, it is incredibly safe as the regime there doesnt want to do anything the jeopardize foreign currency / tourism coming into the country. Its really not a big deal going there, just a bit of paperwork and a few rules you have to follow (don't bring a bible in, dont take pics of shite you arent allowed to). All the guides were super friendly and besides the propaganda posters I didnt hear any anti American stuff or whatever. I also used my EU passport since im a dual citizen. At the time I really wanted to try and get to over 100 countries but stalled after 57.

the people I met there had a lot more exposure to the outside than I expected, mostly chinese movies and stuff but some western media as well. Smartphones all over Pyongyang. Not somewhere I would wanna live by any means but it was interesting, if not incredibly fricking boring.

Outside of the Gaza strip I can't imagine a worse place to voluntarily "visit"
You'd have to be insane to go there.

This story has nothing to do with him, but another situation. I saw this yesterday on 60 minutes. LINK
The operation of NK interests me. I have watched several videos of people visiting and documenting their stay.
One can only imagine what it would be like to live there. What fascinates me most is the surveillance they have. They know everything about everyone. Its a preview of Big Brother.

I’m assuming this is in the cities? Don’t they have a TON of poor people out in shacks in the countryside?

wtf were his parents thinking allowing him to make this trip?

I lived in a rural coastal part of Japan and it was a running joke to stay off the beaches at night or the North Koreans would kidnap you, take you back and turn you into a foreign language teacher slave. Japanese parents actually tell their kids this.
