I was in North Korea twice for 12 days for my documentary project. Ask me anything from fake grocery stores to computer without keyboards! AMA!

Talked with my guide about it. Strictly no sex before marriage. Sorry man.

What did they think about gay people? Would it be okay to mention my boyfriend to a guide?

My guides were very very homophobic. I asked them about homosexuals in North Korea they said they've never heard such things. And then for the rest of the trip they were cracking jokes about gay people. The country is not progressive enough for minority groups.

No, I didn't know about it. But it does look pretty cool! I saw all the Vice ones and the National Geographics one before I went.

so question on a scale from 1-10 with one 1 not brainwashed to 10 being almost zealot like devotion to their leader who brainwashed are the N. Koreans ?
AlexinDPRK12 karma
It's hard to say.
For average citizens who have no access to outside world, I would say 10 since they grow up with the Propaganda.
On the other hand, for people who are relatively well off and get to go to China and stuff. I think they support the regime so that they can maintain their luxurious lifestyles. They are aware of the dictatorship and all of its brutality but not willing to sacrifice their own life to revolt against it.

Wow. That was a very powerful documentary.
How did the visit change you, as a person?
AlexinDPRK2 karma
Thank you!
I think i started to cherish a lot of things that I used to take for granted more after the trip.

Probably me just being a pervert but, any of the women show any kind of sexual attraction? Would it be hard to wed a north Korean woman?
