    9 Bizarre North Korea Facts → www.travelcontinuously.com/fa...
    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.
    I was on a guided tour to North Korea with a company called Young Pioneer Tours. You can book here - bit.ly/2IX3imw

    This video series is NOT a political commentary. It is only meant to document what it’s like to travel to North Korea (DPRK) in 2019.
    I can only show you what I am shown myself.

      I'm introverted as well and I think Pyongyang looks really nice except the government being on full 1984 mood on people which is super creepy... I wonder when North Korean people will go into korean spring mood cause they're oppressed by generations. This much oppression will always bring the same amount of hate.

    I once flew thru Helsinki, and had a long over night layover. I suppose I could have gotten a hotel, but I took a nap in the terminal. I woke up at 3:00 AM to full daylight, and there was absolutely not a single person in the airport. For several hours, I felt like I was in a sci fi movie. Love Finland!

    I feel bad for that dude at around 4:56 because you just know that all he does all day is wipe down that railing and do some other seemingly pointless repetitive task. They have literal rock cleaners in North Korea. I saw a video of some poor woman who smiled when she was talked to as she was cleaning rocks in front of tourists, likely happy that someone acknowledged her existence, only to get sad when she was told to leave. It's a heartbreaking life over there.

    I once was on the first flight out of Shanghai in the morning. I don’t know why but they made us use the last gate. I had to walk for 25 minutes after security through a completely empty airport. All the stores weren’t open yet and since I was very early, there were no other passengers. I waited in front of the gate and suddenly some other passengers came but when they saw me (foreigner) they must have assumed they were wrong because the flight was national. I asked them in Chinese if they were also going to the destination I was going to and then we were all relieved we were at the right gate. It was a big family and they somewhat adopted me during the flight. Whenever grandma handed out candy to the grandkids, I also got one 😂 turns out I was in fact the only foreigner. I know that because the flight attendant came to me and asked if my Chinese was good enough for announcements. I declined and so she gave me a private short security briefing and whenever important announcements were made she came by to translate. Was really nice.

      North Korea is desperate for foreign currency and no-one is willing to do investment with them so they put a lot of effort into tourism. Also the idea that North Koreans can't leave the country is complete bullshit, the problem is that only a handful of governments in the world are actually willing to accept their visas (e.g. Russia and China).

      The suicide forest Japan? I can see that. But still, respect for the ones who passed plus there’s the issue of Japan’s drug laws. If you do be very careful. It’d be interesting experience to read about.
      Fyi I never dropped acid though I thought about it I’d need a friend I can trust and I have some issues so I’m not sure about taking it, but maybe.

    I’m genuinely impressed with you, the channel & the quality & content of your videos & I found this series absolutely fascinating!!! My question is … why would anyone in their right mind willingly go there? LOLOL Really though!! 🤷‍♀️ I genuinely don’t mean it in a hateful manner, I just can’t fathom it bc I’d be so terrified of accidentally doing something wrong that I’d be unable to even function, lol! I can’t wait to see the follow up video & hear more about it though!!!

    Sometimes when traveling I wish the airports were that empty. It reminds me of that Stephen King film The Langoliers where a group of passengers woke up mid flight to find that everyone had vanished mid flight and when an off duty pilot had to land the plane the airport was also empty and deserted.
