I fled to South Korea in 2012 and Just finished your video that you had a great time on the seaside of North Korea calls Wonsan that I was born. Miss my hometown a lot but you gave me the opportunity that I could see my place that I grow up. Big big thank you to you. Hope you enjoy your life and give a lot of opportunity that people never seen in the media by your work and passion. Stay safe. Thanks again.
Can you please tell us about your experience in NK? is living there actually so terrible as shown in western media? how is life there? (I am very curious about NK because it is probably the most closed-off country in the world)
@@mayalherek8263 You can read F. Megaloudi's book ''In the land of Kim: Two years in N Korea'' in order to understand that all this terrible description is just another American lie. F. Megaloudi is not a communist, but a Greek UN Ambassador.
@@ioannispapadakis9653 or you can listen to any defector. Spotted the North Korean bot. Kim Jung Un is a cowardly weak man. He uses “his” people as slaves to retain absolute power.
as a south korean, i feel so surreal to watch this video. i can understand their language and writing and all the propaganda posters and building... and know that we are sharing same language and tradition culutre, is just mind blowing. feel like im wathcing 80s video... thanks for sharing this video.
I grew up in one of the Yugoslavian states and this reminds of old communist Yugoslavia from 60’s and 70’s, even though I am younger but I’ve seen a lot of footages and movies from that time. Also the kids look identical to Tito’s pioneers with their uniforms and red bandanas. (Look it up) This is surreal, but there is something amazing about it.
@@너구리-s1z 나는 82/83년과 84/85년에 한국에 있었습니다. 시골에서는 초가집을 흔히 볼 수 있었다. 마을에 머물렀는데 야외 화장실이 있는 곳이 있었는데 흔했습니다. hooch는 숯으로 가열되었으며 일부는 열을 위해 바닥을 통해 흐르는 온수를 사용했습니다. 한국은 아름다운 나라이며 한국의 발전에 놀랍고 기쁩니다. 북한이 깨어나면 한국 전체가 더 나아질 것입니다. 북한은 광물이 있고 남한은 기술이 있다.
It’s really cool that those kids talked to him, cos I was at school with some NK students in China and I’ve never heard anybody telling me “Yeah, just made friends with some NK students...” They had a class to their own, their own teachers, their own subjects to study, and seemed to be just there to borrow the facilities. But to be fair, we didn’t actively seek to talk to them either...they’re probably really nice and friendly but just intimidated by the foreign and, well...patronising environment.
If it really is what you said So this video is a lie And the children were ordered to be social with this foreigner or with foreigners in general It seems that all this is arranged
I love the way you don't judge people from other countries and instead empathize with them. If only more people online had that attitude. I wish I could give this 20 likes.
"It kind of feels like a musical" because everything seems like it's been choreographed though I was glad to finally see people enjoying some down time
@@BBBBBBBBBBBX Actually, NK is famous (or infamous) for deliberately choreographing/staging stuff when visitors are there. The purpose isn’t to please the visitors per se, it’s to project a certain image to the broader world.
Even in Japan it's not uncommon to see women wearing heels when riding bikes or walking down the street with their kids. What struck me as odd in the video was the women who were walking along the pier in typical office heels and they seemed to be dressed as if they just got out of work. Quite strange to witness.
I'm often almost annoyed when people say "oh! it's propaganda!" or "he's glorifying North Korea!". First of all: YES, the organized tours of North Korea indeed are packed with propaganda. But seriously, what do people expect in such a country? We all know that this is one of the most repressive dictatorships that has ever existed on this planet. Secondly, he isn't condoning or glorifying North Korea/their regime in any way. He is merely observing in a quite neutral way. I would do it exactly the same if I had the money to travel there (as well as the skills to put together these videos). To be honest, I would be stunned as well considering all of the sights he has shown so far in his videos. Some things are indeed impressive. The Pyongyang Metro is probably my favorite: A Korean version of an Eastern European/Soviet "communist" Metro, with beautiful art in many stations. Yes, a lot of the tour programmes' content obviously IS blatant propaganda, and pretty much everyone knows about it. No need to sensationalize anything. It's nothing new. I think Mr. "Indigo Traveler" was VERY aware of that when he went there. And yes, we all know about torture victims and concentration camps for dissidents and their families. Although visiting North Korea probably ticks several "boxes of concern", such as "Why would anyone want to visit and throw hard currency/valuta at this regime"?, I think a certain "exchange" via tourism is perhaps necessary. However, I still believe that there are quite a few ordinary North Koreans, who are (despite the understandable overall reservedness and all-present propaganda) genuinely nice and hospitable people, who would - if they could - perhaps actually spontaneously invite foreign "Western" tourists/visitors into their humble house or apartment and share a small bowl of rice, some homemade Kimchi or pickled cucumbers and a drink with them, if they had both the chance (and permission!) to do so. These people aren't evil monsters. I think that groups of friendly foreign tourists can at least leave a relatively good impression on local people here and there, to make the North Koreans see that "WE" aren't "monsters" either.
Very good points. A real education. In many ways they seem more advanced than what we hear from American leaders that they are nothing but a backward country and in most ways they are, but you can't help notice how well many of the people are dressed including women and children.
I don't know why but I started to tear up a little when you exchanged handshakes with those kids. I think both subconsciously and consciously it hit me that we are all a part of the human race. And just by our nature we were not born to hate one another, or to see other races and ethnicity. IDK, for some reason, sharing that moment with those kids gave me hope about humanities true love for one another, regardless of differences, whatever they may be.
Never been there but the most beautiful thing in this episode is the lovely kids. I loved the way they look, their uniforms, their smiles and everything. Innocent creatures in a bad place.
What goes on there is much worse, let me explain why the video is positive. So when you film in North Korea you travel with tour companies which you have to agree to a contract/agreement to travel with, basically if anything negative towards the N.Korean goverment is released then that tour company is no longer eligible to have buisness in N.Korea, so tourists have to make an agreement not to release any footage to the public which hasn't been checked and approved because it could result in the person filming getting banned from traveling with them or even sued for the breach of the contract/agreement. You can't blame him for this but, this is not what a normal N.Korea is i'm sorry...
Finnish Finn im dont know how NK could be as bad as the media makes it it out to be. Wouldnt you think the people and the military would over throw it? The military is suplosedly treated as bad as the people. I dont want every where in the world to be the same with same culture same form of government. There should be a place where everyone can go that matches there views. Diversity is good it brings about new things and concepts but to make a population diverse is cultural sucide and infact is not diverse it blends all into 1 making it the least diverse. In my opinon.
i appreciate how youve been very respectful through this series , not only for your safety, but it'd almost be arrogant to come on youtube and criticise everything when youre living better than most NKs. Like this is the reality of millions.
Logan Paul should visit here and make an incredible vlog in North Korea,agree? It's me in the future 2021. I realized how someone as sick as Logan Paul has become a very respectable person now. If I could travel back in time and say "Logan Paul is a great person in future" to my old self, I would probably think that I'm absolutely crazy. I hope Logan thrives to make himself a better person. Huge respect 💪
You inspire me to get out of my comfort zone and explore the world and even the rest of my own country. I have extreme anxiety of these things but to see yourself out there (here, Ukraine, everywhere) just gives me the courage I need to take the steps I have to, to be able to make your reality of seeing these places, my reality. Keep doing you man
North Korea still a very closed country. Nice you are opening it up to the world. Very brave of you to travel there. Roads empty. Not many cars. Looks really rigid.
Maybe this is how should we live kim look bad but maybe he just want his people to avoid the bad doings of western world the social media things fighting for small things being greedy 100 gender etc. maybe I don't know 🤣
@@ErwinTheBolocBoloc I believe his people in his country are big and mature enough to decide what influences to follow or not. I hate these rulers who try to play God by deciding for their people. Even God himself gives us free will to decide.
I’ve only seen 3 or 4 of your North Koren videos I subscribed to your channel now, I’m hooked. You covered so much ground on your visit. A lot more than any other person I’ve seen. This particular clip brought tears to my eyes to listen to kids yelling out hello. They must of been curious to see an “American” or a foreigner on that once in a year day out. The innocence of children who are groomed to dispise another culture. This country is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with the world. I look forward to all your other video clips.
Love your series on North Korea! You demonstrate so much respect for its people and genuine interest in their country. Well done! I love both Koreas and hope one day they will be united!
14:55 - 15:06 I noticed the girl with the umbrella/parasol lowered it to cover her face when she saw you filming as you were discussing how careful you were with the filming of people while there.
I've been binge watching your vlogs for 5 hours now. You might be one of the best travel vloggers here on youtube. And I follow a lot of them!! Great quality content! Also, you're super cute. 😍
As surreal and weird as North Korea is, it's still really really nice to see people just having fun and enjoying the nice weather! Alot of times I think we forget that these are all REAL people living in a seemingly "fake" country
The tours to north korea only permits filming of the beautiful sides of the country, anything else is not allowed(visitors have to sign a contract). And only showing the good sides of the country is propaganda...
@lala hipponen: Of course these tours are full of propaganda and don't show the negative sides. People should know this by now - it's not a secret. It is still impressive though to be honest.
North Korea is a really beautiful country, I love the landscape and the buildings and the people seem very nice. If politics weren't how they are, I would definetly come over.
@@christharp3862 thats cause the us burned them all down during the Korean war. I think their government plants some of the most trees per capita to try and reforest
Wow, you are a truly awesome UA-cam legend. This DPRK series is just epic. I’ve visited Soviet Russia on a school trip and apartheid South Africa back in the day. Now this is my next adventure destination after the usual package holidays in Spain the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands and North Africa. You are so respectful and appreciative of everything that’s culturally different without being ‘ooh isn’t this strange’. Your Ukraine vids were also epic. Top work fella 👍
If you ever get a chance to come back to China I'll be happy to show you where i've been living for the past 14 years, in north east china. You can vlog your experience
I went to china many times ..for work and for tourism...surely that is not free country..( tiennammen square...hong kong....situation of human rights...) but we cannot compare china with north korea..for freedom or for quality of life! If you walk in a street of bejiing or shanghay....it is not like to walk in the capital of north korea...even people looks different...like chinese of 40 years ago!!
just binge watched all of your north korea series and , wow!! What an amazing job you have done! I'm sure it was such an extraordinary experience.. Thanks for the great content, and may you continue your travels safely! :)
This is by far the best video series on NK I have seen. I've been following you since your Kazakhstan videos came on my radar (I was in Almaty at the time).
Love ur videos Nick.NK's history,culture,people and especially its leaders had always fascinated me to know more about it.Everything seems so calm like time has come to a stand-still.No hustle-bustle,no tourist scamming,a place completely unscathed by 21st century technology with picturesque villages and beaches and that too everything in a budget tour :)
Preparing for Pioneers Day ! YOU are the "Pioneer" the Pioneer of travel who visits counties that others try to avoid! Always done in an impartial, educational, informative and enjoyable manner. ONE MILLION views on your North Korean volgs in the last week....WOW !!!
11:00 I thought the Korean hated the Japanese. The train's name is written in Japanese, Pashiko. Did a little googling, Sentetsu Pashiko. Interesting to see that they preserved a Japanese train since the occupation.
I don't know about fears, but when I lived in Pyongyang, from 1990 to 1992, you could buy Japanese beer everywhere. Kirin, Sapporo. There were many Japanese sweets in the shops.
Hello indigo traveler, I must say I am impressed by the amazing architecture of some of the places you visited in North Korea. I have been binge watching all your videos started with your videos in Venezuela which I really enjoyed love your videos, thank you for putting yourself in difficult situations to give us amazing views we wouldn't normally get. Keep doing what your doing man so awesome ! 😎
You’ve really cemented yourselves as one of the UA-cam greats with this series my man. Your development and growth over the past year has been epic but this is just the next level. Inspirational stuff!
I have watched many videos from North Korea travel but they were always on the edge and felt tense to watch them in contrast this video was positive, enjoyable and I was relaxed watching it. Thank you so much
This is the very first video I watched from you. I like that without being pretentious you achieve so much. You might not be journalist but you bring the humanity of those people you are in contact with to front stage. You manage to make the places and people in your videos the protagonist. Thanks so much for your video I will certainly see more.
I mean, even in America, if you don’t want to do something at school they’re still gonna make your ass do it whether you like it or not. However, if a farmer there doesn’t want to farm, tough shit. No chance of finding another job. No chance of escaping your financial situation or your lifestyle. 🤷♀️
@@angelgood1867 how many people in america or capitalist countries actually escape their situation or lifestyle aka financial status, that is a lie told by the millionaire to keep you hoping to become one and robbing you in front of your face
15 there are sooo many ways to make money in America, get out of your bubble and victimhood mentality and go get what you want in life. Sooo many successful people have came from absolutely nothing in this country and worked for everything they have like me and my family. Obviously living in mansions in LA is out of almost anyone’s reach but if that’s what you call successful you are blinded.
Best UA-camr on this whole website. The dedication to go to the most restricted country in the world and document it is unreal. Keep up the great work Nick!
@@hakeemsd70m ohh capitalism like how China is destroying the World? And China isn't just polluting China but owns half of Africa or Latin America. You're right, Capitalism is so cruel, just like the one of the country who supports and gives the only food to North Korea and North Koreans that have the possibility to go to a 'supermarket'.
I am autistic, and North Korea has recently become a special interest and I devour anything I can find about it. You have one of the best video series I’ve seen!
They were deemed terrorists. No doubt that some are innocent/way more punishment than they deserve. Besides, terrorists or not they are breaking several human rights laws. Terrorists, are and will stay, human, like it or not.
Thank you for the video! I am sure many of us this will be the only time we will ever see it. Good to see people there are at peace and regardless of their technology they have a quality of life of their own.
I come from italy....at the time of mussolini nobody was hungry..we had nice streets...good university....a lot of tourist...music....bar....job for everybody....italian cities were like english...french...or german ones.but we were not free.and after few years crazy leader push us into a crazy war!
@@pietroboggio1642 In realtà ai tempi del fascismo molti soffrivano la fame ed erano analfabeti. Parlo per esperienza personale, i miei nonni ad esempio non vivevano assolutamente una vita agiata, né tantomeno facile... vivevano di agricoltura o pastorizia ed in generale non fu un periodo culturale o economico di spicco per l'Italia.
4:57 OMG! I didn't know that pioneers were also there! my mom and dad wore such clothes and blue caps with red stars on them. :) in ex-Yugoslavia, it was a big event for kids and their parents.
OMG....Thank you for sharing your experience in North Korea. I wish it were possible for me to travel there myself. Looking forward to more videos from your trip. Enjoy the hiking tomorrow! Cheers from Houston, Texas! -Mike
your videos are always really inspirational to me, it's amazing to discover so many new things about different places of de world. Hope to experience it myself someday
13:30 I'm not sure what those ships were all doing there, but they are absolutely completely empty. Look at how low the water is below the change from red paint to black paint. The line there is where the water will roughly be when loaded. Those ships are totally empty, or maybe beached in the sand.
To be fair, this is a guided tour and they obviously only show the tourists the parts they want to be shown. I'm sure you can make any city look good and clean if you only show the best parts.
Alima Bianchi They stay in Pyongyang which is the capital where only the elite and privileged can live. The rest of the country is most likely living in poverty. They only show you what they want you to see.
I liked the way this video was done. I know it’s only what the regime allows him to see, but I feel like I can experience a trip to North Korea and I don’t have to risk my life actually going there. 👍🏼
Great series, I think yours is the best North Korean travel video that exists right now. The footage of the kids made me sad at first because you can see how they are brainwashed from a young age to believe in the state ideology. But if you think about it, we are all indoctrinated like that to a greater or lesser extent, it's only when you see it in isolation from the rest of the world that it becomes so noticeable.
gabbafm of course indoctrination exists more or less everywhere but you don’t see it at such extreme level !! May be in countries where Sharia is everything lol
You're exactly right. Propaganda exists everywhere. There is still a considerably amount of Americans that think Donald Trump is a good role model for their kids. Let that sink in.
btw to be able to visit NK as a tourist you already have to pay some money to the NK government so you are already supporting the regime by giving them money regardless what you think about them
do you shop at hobby lobby, or eat chick fil a, or have you ever gone on a tour of something in America? by doing those you are also inadvertently supporting something you may claim to not support.
I've been catching up on your vlogs. Currently in India but I am also up to date on your last like 20 videos. So glad to see another NK video! Keep it up man and stay safe as always!
I live in the US and when I first went to Seoul, South Korea, I visited the North Seoul tower and I could see the North Korean border from where I was at the Trees of Love. At that moment I realized how close I was to North Korea and I blew me away. All I ever heard about the country was that it was terrible, people were dying in camps, and being treated horribly and suddenly I was so close.
@@dr.perfectsmile4175if it’s “western propaganda” then why do defects literally say the same thing? why are they so severely traumatised and in need of help when they flee? many have spoke of watching their families be killed in front of them, children murdered for listening to kpop. please enlighten us

For what though…. How crazy does that sound… you watched the interview one to many times…. You think they built thousands of homes & farms for show??? To impress Americans… 🤔 do you know how narcissistic that sounds honestly🤣 they seem like they are just very protective of their culture and don’t want mainstream society to ruin that…. Idk I don’t think it’s so bad … I would visit..
@@misterbleedinggums all the view of the world of some westerners but today especially Americans is based on myths, clichés, propaganda and so on.

It’s crazy to see how they controlled your WHOLE VISIT to their country and you never ONCE went freely exploring on your own. They only allow you to see what they want you to see.

I have personnally already watched quite a few videos of North Korea but none of them have been as thorough as what you have brought to us Nick...I have always been intrigued by the culture and what is or actually what can be happening behind the closed doors of North Korea....I'm really surprised by the content that you were able to keep but it goes without saying that you toured with the utmost respect towards North Korea and it's population. Even if everybody here can see that you felt watched and it isn't a surprise, everybody knows the stories and how it works inside. As much as you want to show us the positive, We cannot just unsee how much the North Korean people are poor and must abide to strict rules on a daily basis and it's just so sad....I refuse to believe that they are happy. But We are all allowed our own opinion an I fully respect that. Thank you very much for your videos which I really have appreciated upto now.
Den Zena, I really curious about Fukushima these day. I know they are still leaking radiation contaminated 50 tons of water into the Pacific Ocean everyday. And Japanese fishmen trade fish from the water to other countries without any health damage warnings. Recently they have hired Forign workers to clean up the radiation eventhough it will critically damage workers' health. How come Japan keeps quiet about this crisis of world health ?
I will never get to experience North Korea, so again, I am grateful to be able to experience it vicariously; you are the kind of travel partner I'd want; non-judgmental, insightful, and prone to little adventures. I've seen all the North Korea videos and loved them all!
@@cepenica1 not just media brother , look at those interviews where North Korean are confessing in press themselves , regarding the harsh behaviour of the NK govt .
I do agree alot. Your heart is acking if you can get those people shoots. I love the children on the square at the ladies on the pier - one of them with the umbrella. How nice shoes they had on :) Thanks for the travel-log!
Been watching videos from tourist to the DPRK for a while and I must say looks like things are improving there. If you watch a video from the early 2000s it looks gloomy and sad. No traffic at all in Pyongyang. The 2018 videos people look upbeat and there's also a good amount of traffic. Hopefully things will improve even more.
The fact that they do not have internwt and social media and communicate in reality and enjoy life in the present, are sorrounded by people, rhat just seems so nice to me
of course they are, the tours are so insanely filtered and fake. imagne what you could find in other average cities in the country. people are dying on the streets of starvation
Want to see how I got into North Korea and how much it cost me? Watch here:
ua-cam.com/video/AoFT3DzR4Mg/v-deo.html
You DO realize they only show you what you're supposed to see? I bet you a fiver that behind the scenes it looks like Johannisburg or Detroit.
BTW.. It's Pyung-Y"A"ng, not Pyung Yeng.
Are they check your videos later to see what kind of stuff you have filmed?
That really is North Korea??How is food there???How aren't soldiers everywhere and how are the others happy there??
Did you see any tortured prisoners or starving children on your happy vacation?
I fled to South Korea in 2012 and Just finished your video that you had a great time on the seaside of North Korea calls Wonsan that I was born.

I think that groups of friendly foreign tourists can at least leave a relatively good impression on local people here and there, to make the North Koreans see that "WE" aren't "monsters" either.
ok
Agreed.
Very good points. A real education. In many ways they seem more advanced than what we hear from American leaders that they are nothing but a backward country and in most ways they are, but you can't help notice how well many of the people are dressed including women and children.
NorthSea 1981 What he is saying is not as important as what is being implied and shown! Another very important film!

I don't know why but I started to tear up a little when you exchanged handshakes with those kids. I think both subconsciously and consciously it hit me that we are all a part of the human race. And just by our nature we were not born to hate one another, or to see other races and ethnicity. IDK, for some reason, sharing that moment with those kids gave me hope about humanities true love for one another, regardless of differences, whatever they may be.

Watch Sao Documentary
How is it a bad place?
You have good footage of places I have not seen on any of the other vids that I have watched about North Korea
What goes on there is much worse, let me explain why the video is positive.
So when you film in North Korea you travel with tour companies which you have to agree to a contract/agreement to travel with, basically if anything negative towards the N.Korean goverment is released then that tour company is no longer eligible to have buisness in N.Korea, so tourists have to make an agreement not to release any footage to the public which hasn't been checked and approved because it could result in the person filming getting banned from traveling with them or even sued for the breach of the contract/agreement.
You can't blame him for this but, this is not what a normal N.Korea is i'm sorry...
OrangeOVA Or you might just be filled with western propaganda
Finnish Finn lol ya sure. How is the muslim migration propaganda woking for you?
Finnish Finn im dont know how NK could be as bad as the media makes it it out to be. Wouldnt you think the people and the military would over throw it? The military is suplosedly treated as bad as the people. I dont want every where in the world to be the same with same culture same form of government. There should be a place where everyone can go that matches there views. Diversity is good it brings about new things and concepts but to make a population diverse is cultural sucide and infact is not diverse it blends all into 1 making it the least diverse. In my opinon.
Jason Cougar Alright

I haven't but it seemed very suspicious that the video made N.Korea seem like this amazing place when we all know it's not normal
i appreciate how youve been very respectful through this series , not only for your safety, but it'd almost be arrogant to come on youtube and criticise everything when youre living better than most NKs. Like this is the reality of millions.
Who you
Logan Paul should visit here and make an incredible vlog in North Korea,agree?
It's me in the future 2021. I realized how someone as sick as Logan Paul has become a very respectable person now. If I could travel back in time and say "Logan Paul is a great person in future" to my old self, I would probably think that I'm absolutely crazy. I hope Logan thrives to make himself a better person. Huge respect 💪

I really love your slow motion parts as you can see their facial expressions and try to understand what really is going on.
Not sure why these videos popped up in my recommended but I'm hooked 😂
You inspire me to get out of my comfort zone and explore the world and even the rest of my own country. I have extreme anxiety of these things but to see yourself out there (here, Ukraine, everywhere) just gives me the courage I need to take the steps I have to, to be able to make your reality of seeing these places, my reality. Keep doing you man

I’ve only seen 3 or 4 of your North Koren videos I subscribed to your channel now, I’m hooked. You covered so much ground on your visit. A lot more than any other person I’ve seen. This particular clip brought tears to my eyes to listen to kids yelling out hello. They must of been curious to see an “American” or a foreigner on that once in a year day out. The innocence of children who are groomed to dispise another culture. This country is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with the world. I look forward to all your other video clips.

Love your series on North Korea! You demonstrate so much respect for its people and genuine interest in their country. Well done! I love both Koreas and hope one day they will be united!
When the west world falls and China rises thats when both Koreas will reunited, as of now, the Brics vs West war rages on.
14:55 - 15:06 I noticed the girl with the umbrella/parasol lowered it to cover her face when she saw you filming as you were discussing how careful you were with the filming of people while there.

As surreal and weird as North Korea is, it's still really really nice to see people just having fun and enjoying the nice weather! Alot of times I think we forget that these are all REAL people living in a seemingly "fake" country

The tours to north korea only permits filming of the beautiful sides of the country, anything else is not allowed(visitors have to sign a contract). And only showing the good sides of the country is propaganda...

North Korea is a really beautiful country, I love the landscape and the buildings and the people seem very nice. If politics weren't how they are, I would definetly come over.

Wow, you are a truly awesome UA-cam legend. This DPRK series is just epic. I’ve visited Soviet Russia on a school trip and apartheid South Africa back in the day. Now this is my next adventure destination after the usual package holidays in Spain the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands and North Africa. You are so respectful and appreciative of everything that’s culturally different without being ‘ooh isn’t this strange’. Your Ukraine vids were also epic. Top work fella 👍
If you ever get a chance to come back to China I'll be happy to show you where i've been living for the past 14 years, in north east china. You can vlog your experience
Why sre you living there? Is it nice?
I'd just like to say that Chinese food is fucking delicious.
I went to china many times ..for work and for tourism...surely that is not free country..( tiennammen square...hong kong....situation of human rights...) but we cannot compare china with north korea..for freedom or for quality of life! If you walk in a street of bejiing or shanghay....it is not like to walk in the capital of north korea...even people looks different...like chinese of 40 years ago!!
just binge watched all of your north korea series and , wow!! What an amazing job you have done! I'm sure it was such an extraordinary experience.. Thanks for the great content, and may you continue your travels safely! :)
Me too
That’s me currently, binge watching all North Korean videos… it’s truly fascinating both good and bad
This is by far the best video series on NK I have seen. I've been following you since your Kazakhstan videos came on my radar (I was in Almaty at the time).
Thank you, Andy!
It is relaxing seeing towns with no ads on the streets or anyplace really.
For real, it feels like a quiet and peaceful place to live.
there ARE ads everywhere, just not for brands or products
Love ur videos Nick.NK's history,culture,people and especially its leaders had always fascinated me to know more about it.Everything seems so calm like time has come to a stand-still.No hustle-bustle,no tourist scamming,a place completely unscathed by 21st century technology with picturesque villages and beaches and that too everything in a budget tour :)

Only second video of yours watched. Very nicely done!
Preparing for Pioneers Day ! YOU are the "Pioneer" the Pioneer of travel who visits counties that others try to avoid!

ONE MILLION views on your North Korean volgs in the last week....WOW !!!
11:00 I thought the Korean hated the Japanese. The train's name is written in Japanese, Pashiko.
Did a little googling, Sentetsu Pashiko. Interesting to see that they preserved a Japanese train since the occupation.
Anything that works for their propaganda I suppose.
Much of the architecture and monuments have been preserved in SK. Maybe it’s the same for North
I don't know about fears, but when I lived in Pyongyang, from 1990 to 1992, you could buy Japanese beer everywhere. Kirin, Sapporo. There were many Japanese sweets in the shops.
Hello indigo traveler, I must say I am impressed by the amazing architecture of some of the places you visited in North Korea. I have been binge watching all your videos started with your videos in Venezuela which I really enjoyed love your videos, thank you for putting yourself in difficult situations to give us amazing views we wouldn't normally get. Keep doing what your doing man so awesome ! 😎
You’ve really cemented yourselves as one of the UA-cam greats with this series my man. Your development and growth over the past year has been epic but this is just the next level. Inspirational stuff!
I love how tired this guy is. It's like if I'd vlogged my five years of college.
I have watched many videos from North Korea travel but they were always on the edge and felt tense to watch them in contrast this video was positive, enjoyable and I was relaxed watching it. Thank you so much
Tell him to introduce treading South Korean drama for the NK
This is the very first video I watched from you. I like that without being pretentious you achieve so much. You might not be journalist but you bring the humanity of those people you are in contact with to front stage. You manage to make the places and people in your videos the protagonist. Thanks so much for your video I will certainly see more.

Sooo many successful people have came from absolutely nothing in this country and worked for everything they have like me and my family.

13:30 I'm not sure what those ships were all doing there, but they are absolutely completely empty. Look at how low the water is below the change from red paint to black paint. The line there is where the water will roughly be when loaded. Those ships are totally empty, or maybe beached in the sand.
City looks pretty clean, it amazes me after living in New York over 5 years
To be fair, this is a guided tour and they obviously only show the tourists the parts they want to be shown. I'm sure you can make any city look good and clean if you only show the best parts.
A country don’t need to be north Korea in order to stay clean, like Singapore and Japan
Max555 I know that there are places much cleaner than New York but the video itself about n. Korea. It doesn’t mean that only this country is clean ;)
Alima Bianchi They stay in Pyongyang which is the capital where only the elite and privileged can live. The rest of the country is most likely living in poverty. They only show you what they want you to see.
Alima Bianchi Uhm, they can’t afford cars or food! I guess starving is a good thing in your opinion, since they have no waste to trash the streets?! 🤔
These are extremely well made, from the music to the all the shots used. They're fun to watch :)
Not sure if you've covered this but I'd love to know how much this trip cost in total & what preparation for a trip like this looks like.
I liked the way this video was done. I know it’s only what the regime allows him to see, but I feel like I can experience a trip to North Korea and I don’t have to risk my life actually going there. 👍🏼
Great series, I think yours is the best North Korean travel video that exists right now. The footage of the kids made me sad at first because you can see how they are brainwashed from a young age to believe in the state ideology. But if you think about it, we are all indoctrinated like that to a greater or lesser extent, it's only when you see it in isolation from the rest of the world that it becomes so noticeable.
It's propaganda.
gabbafm of course indoctrination exists more or less everywhere but you don’t see it at such extreme level !! May be in countries where Sharia is everything lol
@@simonjrgensen6761 you mean like the western media propaganda?
You're exactly right. Propaganda exists everywhere. There is still a considerably amount of Americans that think Donald Trump is a good role model for their kids. Let that sink in.

Enjoyed that! Thanks brother
Cheers for watching, mate!
ACKACKACK
It's very beautiful ,simple and looking charming Korea, free of pollution and extravegance
btw to be able to visit NK as a tourist you already have to pay some money to the NK government so you are already supporting the regime by giving them money regardless what you think about them
Jeh Lel no he just wants content and to explore the country. In no way does he support them.
do you shop at hobby lobby, or eat chick fil a, or have you ever gone on a tour of something in America? by doing those you are also inadvertently supporting something you may claim to not support.
priscilla osburn that was a terrible analogy lmao
its like paying to learn to save money, yes you are paying but that dosent means you support not saving
People pay their taxes but that doesn't mean they support being taxed. It's kind of the same logic
I've been catching up on your vlogs. Currently in India but I am also up to date on your last like 20 videos. So glad to see another NK video! Keep it up man and stay safe as always!

I live in the US and when I first went to Seoul, South Korea, I visited the North Seoul tower and I could see the North Korean border from where I was at the Trees of Love. At that moment I realized how close I was to North Korea and I blew me away. All I ever heard about the country was that it was terrible, people were dying in camps, and being treated horribly and suddenly I was so close.

its certainly better than what the west is portraying, but still worse than what the DPRK is showing.

Even if everybody here can see that you felt watched and it isn't a surprise, everybody knows the stories and how it works inside.
As much as you want to show us the positive, We cannot just unsee how much the North Korean people are poor and must abide to strict rules on a daily basis and it's just so sad....I refuse to believe that they are happy. But We are all allowed our own opinion an I fully respect that.
Thank you very much for your videos which I really have appreciated upto now.

I really curious about Fukushima these day. I know they are still leaking radiation contaminated 50 tons of water into the Pacific Ocean everyday.
And Japanese fishmen trade fish from the water to other countries without any health damage warnings.
Recently they have hired Forign workers to clean up the radiation eventhough it will critically damage workers' health.
How come Japan keeps quiet about this crisis of world health ?

Those subtitles are hilarious. "Good afternoon. Good evening, and goodnight, bro, North Korea"
Great video.
Damn dude, all the other NK vlogs don't have as much shots of the country as you do
Glad you enjoyed :)
It made me really proud that you have the flag of nepal tattooed. Respect from Nepal 🙏
Wow this is such a good video, I was honestly surprised by how clean and nice built and kept all the building and stuff looked
it's like i go back to 90's while watching this video.
Been watching videos from tourist to the DPRK for a while and I must say looks like things are improving there. If you watch a video from the early 2000s it looks gloomy and sad. No traffic at all in Pyongyang. The 2018 videos people look upbeat and there's also a good amount of traffic. Hopefully things will improve even more.
happy to hear this, thank you.
Better Propoganda. Things aren't improving for the everday people.
And what proof do you have of that?
None, he probably read a CNN article, like the ones that made up stories about NK executing a bunch of people who later turned up alive
Nope they're just improving their propaganda for the increase of tourists. You people truly are gullible
your personality is just incredible. You make me wanna go to New Zealand :) Loving watching your videos.
Thank you!
yeah...you are pretty cool Indigo :)
The fact that they do not have internwt and social media and communicate in reality and enjoy life in the present, are sorrounded by people, rhat just seems so nice to me
not being allowed to do those things doesn't seem so nice to me
