I ❤️️ Pyongyang

We are off to Scandinavia for our Holidays this year but when we are planning next years trip, North Korea could be on the list because the country is set to open its borders to tourists later this year.
It has been noted that just as Britain is doing its damnedest to kick out foreigners, the most Totalitarian country on the Planet is welcoming them which doesn't show us in a good light when Kim Jong Un is more foreigner friendly than the morons who tried to burn down Asylum hostels and waved 'foreigners out' banners here a few weeks ago but it wouldn't be worth explaining it to them, far too many syllables in totalitarianism for them to understand but to be honest too many in moron also.
Calling itself a 'Socialist Utopia', Tripadvisor is the best place to got to find out what the Asian nation has to offer tourists and read reviews which are all written by genuine travelers. Honestly, they really were.  

1. Demilitarized Zone: review - The tour guide was absolutely lovable and the posters were very informative. The store nearby that sells hand painted propaganda posters.

2. Tower of the Juche Idea: review - The view was pretty spectacular. Its about the only thing you have to queue for in the DPRK but it’s definitely worth the wait. The staff were very sweet too.

3. Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum: review - Here you will learn how the evil USA started the Korean War and was totally defeated by the valiant Korean people.

4. Concrete Wall: review - The military personnel here will allow photos with them at the appropriate time; they will say when. Do what your guides say and all will be OK!!!

5. Kim Il-sung Square: review I’m very impressed about this square. Huge square for ceremony and national parade.

6. Geumsusan Memorial Palace: review - Monument to a nation's founders. Dignified and fascinating.

7. Triumphal Arch: review - No traffic around, easy to get up and down, excellent views, and the football stadium is right next door.

8. Tanjun Mausoleum: review - Dress well and do not bring any valuables or cameras into the Mausoleum as they are prohibited.

9. Kaeson Youth Park: review - The bst place to get close to the locals. Everybody's having fun and you get to laugh and scream with the Koreans.

10. Pyongyang Metro: review - Really pleasant and clean

Forget New York, Paris, Oslo and Vienna, its Pyongyang next year!!
