I am against the illegal capture of photographs. I'm actually against the capture of all photographs, as I believe the photographs should be free.
Seriously though, NK looks like it sucks

Even a simple piece of fruit was unfamiliar to Lee So-yeon when she fled North Korea seven years ago. She had never seen an orange. So when she came across one at a South Korean market, she bit into it like an apple -- peel and all. During the famine of the 1990s, Lee was forced to eat grass from the mountains to survive. "We were told that any grass that rabbits eat is edible," she says. "So we picked any grass we could find that wasn't poisonous and mixed it with rice, or used it to make grass porridge.
I would have ate the rabbits instead

I agree communism is awful and it is a human tragedy in the eyes of the West, but part of me thinks there are just as many happy people there as there are here in the US. Perhaps I'm naive, but I think a certain peace can be derived from ignorance - in essence, these people aren't upset because they don't know what they're missing. To some extent they're like native tribes; it seems inhospitable to us, but it can be done if it is the only life you know.

NK is crazy enough to build a fake fancy city to encourage South Korean people to go over to their side. The building were all painted to look nice (for the 50s), but they were empty and nobody ever lived there.

So there are people who are ordered to dress well and "look happy" in the train station as if they were going somewhere even though there's nowhere to go?
I kind of want to see this place.

I think they do now which is why their way of life can't continue long. There is an underground. I'd like to be there when all the wonders of the world are completely unveiled though

Another fail. NK is a fascist country. In fact it's closer to the GOP and white supremacy than communism

Upon its release, The Cleanest Racereceived significant media attention and "rave reviews" in the United States press.[10] The journalist Christopher Hitchens (who had visited North Korea at the beginning of the 21st Century) recounted that after reading the book, he concluded that his earlier view of the country as Stalinist was simplistic and incorrect.[7] Some reviewers confirmed anecdotal instances of North Korean xenophobia and alarm at the rate ofinterracial marriage in South Korea.[7][9]Hitchens also notes some "obscene corollaries" from Myers' conclusions, including that many South Koreans feel the North Korean regime to be more "'authentically' Korean" than their own government.[7]
