Post I: a country I'd like to visit

Maybe it sounds weird but a country that I would like to visit is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, as known as, North Korea.  

Located in a geopolitical hotspot, the Korean Peninsula, this country has gone through a war at the principle of 1950 that it's not over yet, signing an armistice with the United States and dividing the peninsula between the north and the southern part. It turned into a very hermetic society with a particular political regime based on a cult of personality around Kim Il-sung and his successors.

However, beyond what media shows, I would really like to know in first person at the people who make their life everyday under a different paradigm with others customs. A simpler way of life totally different from ours.

 

I have read blogs from people who traveled there and it just make my curiosity grow. Pyongyang is a very large city with millions of people, with big streets and few cars. Some women still uses their traditional costumes full of colors.

I think it is necessary to make an informed opinion before making judgments and actions against a country from which we really do not know anything. And different could be good too.

Here's a time lapse video from Pyongyang, enjoy!
