Highlights of North Korea

North Korea is a puzzle to many people, especially for Americans as they have not been allowed to visit this country for years! North Korea seems to have been focused on how to remain isolationist, with great success. A hereditary dictatorship has passed from father to son, yet the father is still considered the president of the country. You will not be allowed to travel freely here. If you want to visit Pyongyang, the country's capital, or Paekdusan, Korea's highest peak featuring a crater lake atop a sacred mountain, you will be accompanied by two government-appointed chaperones. You will not be allowed to bring your cell phone, laptop, nor even western publications. The government does not want its people subjected to western 'lies'. You will be given a 'canned' narrative of the history of the country, of course accentuating the positive and for the most part be directed where to stay, what to do and who you can talk to. Now, if you still want to visit the country, just to experience what life here is really like, you will have to obtain governmental permission. On average, only 2,000 visitors are able to enter the country.
