How about a trip to North Korea
A Brief Summary
No country on earth is as politically and societally isolated, remote and removed from the rest of the world as North Korea. It is made even more stark given its juxtaposition immediately north of technologically advanced, exceptionally safe and heavily-westernised South Korea. Droughts, famines, suppressed freedoms, ritualised political leadership and intensely controlled ways of life are just some of the reasons visiting North Korea is something very few people would even consider. But, if the current (and lengthy historical) regime were to embrace a more democratic and “free” way of existing for its poeple, then there is no doubt that the detached residents of this far east Asian nation would welcome tourists and their alternative thoughts and feelings with open arms. It will take a while, but were it to happen, North Korea could be THE place to go in years to come
