One culture that fascinates me is North Korea. I am interested by this society because of how cut off from the world they are. They have such a strict leader that the citizens there can’t really do anything. I don’t even know if you can visit the country if you aren’t from there. I'm not sure why you would want to anyway. But I remember watching a show on MTV called The Vice Guide To Everything. In this show, the host visited North Korea. He said it took over a year to finally convince the North Korean government to let them come. The show showed how crazy it was there. He was never able to leave the guy that guided the tour the whole time he was there, which was a few days. Apparently North Korea has all these places devoted to tourism even though no one really goes there. The host talked about how he was probably the first person to go there on a tour for a long time. I wonder what the people of the country think. Do they like where they live or do they hate it? I wonder what I would be like to not be as free as we are here in America. We have so much more stuff here than they have there that I don’t think I could able to last long there. I think that North Korea thinks they are better and stronger than everyone else and they just need to take a step back and calm down.
