The last resort.
RIP Warmbeer
I tried to go, but had funny pictures of the vice supreme leader and wasn’t allowed in the country…
Surprised pikachu x Vance Photoshopped
America or North Korea, both shit hole countries I’ll avoid
Should have told him “Thank You”.
Kim Jong Un bets on tourism
Context?
Rank 165 of 167 democracy…
Rank 179 of 180 press freedom…
Let’s book the tickets, honey. We are traveling to jail.
That just makes me wonder who they are beating in these rankings
180 / 180 Press freedom - Eritrea 🇪🇷
166 / 167 Democracy index - Myanmar 🇲🇲
167 / 167 Democracy index - Afghanistan 🇦🇫
Damn sad, those poor people
My heart hurts thinking of the girls and women in Afghanistan.
Fucking sauvages
Myanmar and Afghanistan, apparently
And for press, Eritrea
Their people?
Sounds like the perfect conservative vacation destination.
Don’t expect three hots and a cot though
Don’t mind me wrong, but looking at what Dubai is doing, I am not surprised Kim thinks people can forget about NK reality for a nice beach.
Hah! Good fucking point! Only thing I guess is that Dubai has a wonnnderful propaganda team winning over the hearts and minds of Western audiences, while NK has synchronized communist dancing events.
Dubai also is smack dab in the middle of “Oil Land”
Fantastic news for ml! I’m sure they’ll visit in droves.
Lets finance that.
I’ll buck in a kick.
Only a moron would want to visit North Korea where Kim Jung Un will have you killed for saying anything negative about him or the country.
My thoughts on the US
Not yet, but give it a year…
We’re there now. Im indigenous Central American but live in Canada. I have tattoos, and a ton of anti trump stuff on my phone. If I tried to enter the us I would immediately get hauled off and tossed in a gulag, back to a Central American shithole like where I started
I’d love to go there, and Iran, but I’m not stupid. The foreign culture would be amazing.
Wow, a vacation location I would like to visit even less than the US.
Idk, at least it would be interesting.
It will be a Trump hotel and MAGA nuts will go stay there.
Oh can we please make this happen?
Otto Warmbier
Hope there aren’t any flags or posters that can murder a poor tourist.
Anyone who goes there of their own free will should know that they could end up like Otto Warmbier at any time. No tears will be shed for them.
They are likely betting on Chinese/Russian tourists. No way Kim lays a finger on a PRC citizen.
Also it’s curated to prevent them from seeing, the actual country side. It’s with minders
Wonder if they’d expect Southern “occupied” Koreans go?
You are talking about a fellow human being…
Yes, which is why it’s important for them to realize what they’re getting themselves into. Did Warmbier deserve what happened to him? Absolutely not, but knowing what happened and still going over there to play tourist means you’ve understood, accepted and internalized the possible risk. I will reserve my tears for the many thousands of people who get into trouble through no fault of their own.
When i went to Singapore, people told me that they arrest you there if you spit on the street or litter and find just any kind of drugs on you. I was like cool, i’m not doing all these things anyway and when i go somewhere i adjust myself to the country. Same goes for NK. You know where you are going, and even if the laws are stupid and no one deserves what he got, everyone who takes secret pictures or takes stuff they don’t want you to can expect the worst. Personally i would love to go to see NK, and i wouldn’t break any of their stupid laws, but i also don’t trust them enough and assume they can and will jail you anyway if they really want to.
Can you imagine being this disconnected on the world perception about yourself and how you run your country? Crazy.
Kim was educated in Europe, not like he’s clueless about the outside world. Also, there’s such a thing as “poverty tourism”. (I forget the word.)
He was educated in prestigious rich cunt schools in fucking Switzerland. He has zero clue about the outside world, the super rich don’t experience any of it, it’s all a sealed little political incest bubble.
All true, but my point was that he’s hardly been isolated in North Korea. He knows there’s an outside world, and to your point, knows how rich it can be.
What kind of fucking idiot builds a highway between the hotels and the beach?
Thats the fucking stupidest thing I have ever seen in my life. Who ever thought that was a good idea should be shot. It couldn’t be in a worse place.
apparently a little american figure called henry flagler … ever heard of US1?
This guy Floridas!
No. He sounds like a tool and all.
Real question but when does a two lane street become a highway?
Highways don’t have crosswalks, and drivers can expect to have very few stoplights (compared to freeways, which should have exactly 0 stoplights or pedestrians whatsoever).
Streets can have frequent crosswalks and stoplights.
Sooo having a street between hotels and a beach would be no biggie, since guests could safely cross it on foot, at a crosswalk.
But with a highway there, you cannot safely cross on foot. No crosswalks. Or if there’s something that looks like a crosswalk, it sure wouldn’t feel safe to cross it.
I agree. Probably the same idiots that built south Florida
Hear that conservatives?
You can visit the country you’re trying to make our country look like.
You can get a good long look at what your dipshittery leads to. But only if you have the balls to leave the resort.
NK is a bad enough place to visit without worrying about everything. It’s the ultimate in mismanagement.
Management says it must happen, so it happens, or we tell them it’s happened. When someone gets hurt because it actually didn’t happen, there’s a cover up.
