How soon after Trump BTFOs Kim Jong-Un will North Korea be open for travel? I think it would be a fascinating experience to visit a country in the aftermath of a totalitarian dictator being overthrown.
You can already go to North Korea. I spend like 5,000 bucks going there a couple of years ago. Worth it desu, its so fucking weird.

Yeah, but isn't it a really restricted tour where you can't really do anything?
>>1245795
But everything of interest is on the tour. The rest of the country is dirt poor.
The only thing that would change with a massive regime change would maybe be tours of what would become the former torture prisons and labor camps and the residency.

assuming....

...and probably a huge upsurge in sex tourism.

>everything of interest is on the tour.
Eh, well yeah, you could argue so, but there's a difference between being able to explore a location on your own and with locals who aren't part of some intricate propaganda machine.
Also, if the regime falls and normal tourism is allowed, you'd actually be able to go there without directly funding the regime with foreign currency.

and exploring with locals who aren't part of some intricate propaganda machine, and getting guided around to take pictures and getting everything presented according to the official narrative*
Forgot a part of the sentence
bit by bit, globalism is being pieced together in NK. They've let multinational companies use their people as labour for decades.
The Supreme Leader grew up in Switzerland of all places. Its on record that he supports Man United.
North Korea was finished as a superpower the day they appointed that wuss.

You can get prostitutes on the current tour, but they are Chinese

Not him, but I think there's more of an appeal to seeing the last real dictatorship in person than there would be to go after it becomes like every other country in the world.
I was hoping to go later this year, but unfortunately Trump has ballsed that up for me.

I honestly couldn't give less of a fuck who I'm funding

Mind yourself on those edges mate. When you actually start travelling you realise there are real people behind every interaction you make, not some puppets for your passport stamp.

I'm not trying to be edgy; NK will get their money one way or another. Withholding my money won't save anyone's life.
And seeing the last real dictatorship IS interesting. That's not edge, it's fact. I didn't say it was necessarily enjoyable, but it'd definitely be interesting and that's what I aim for when traveling.

really? you know this from experience? story time!
