I find North Korea to be the most fascinating place in the world. It is difficult for me to form an opinion on just "how bad" the place is. Of course our government tells us that it is the most horrible place on earth, while the North Korean government claims it is a paradise. Either way, I have never seen pictures of a place that looked so bizarre. No advertisements, no litter, no traffic, and meticulously maintained government statues and buildings. It seems like the complete opposite of New York City! Of course outside the capital there are huge masses of people that are starving to death and that have no access to medicine. I just hope that I am able to visit North Korea before there is a war. It seems like a trip there would be the closest you would ever get to experiencing a real life mushroom trip and time travel. I do think it is good, on some level, that there is at least one place in the world that has remained untouched by our global economy. It is probably the only country in the world without a McDonalds and a Wal-Mart.
