No offence and I hope you enjoyed your trip but posting these only perpetuates their propaganda IMO...[and yes, we are entitled to our own opinions, however much you and others may disagree with mine….unlike in the place you visited….]
Yup, propaganda is propaganda...
Watching Obama's trip to Hiroshima today and reminiscing about my 1971 trip there. Ground zero was quite eerie then for me as a 23 y.o. Similarly a month later when I stayed with Canadian soldiers in Saigon - they were on a UN Observation team. Quite a different story from what was told to "the world" by the media in 1971 - My Lai aside...
Now all is lovey-dovey... and the propaganda is long forgotten, as is the US idea of the domino theory - that led to so many totally useless deaths.
If North Korea has tours then it is up to the individual to decide if they should go or not. I will go one of these days - because I am open minded enough to go. Others will have a different opinion. Go where you want to - it is your dime. Heck, I know of folks who willingly pay good money to stand in lines. eat overpriced non-healthy food and... Where is this fantasy place? Why it is Disneyland.
Not for me and YMMV.
