Other than the 'Bless you' incident, did you have any run-ins or close calls with the North Korean law or culture?

What was the strangest thing you witnessed while you were there?

I'd honestly just be really interested to hear any anecdotes or stories that didn't make it into your documentary (which I'll definitely be watching).

Me: Do you wanna travel abroad? Guide: Yes! Me: The US? Guide: No. Me: Ok so New York City? Guide: Yes I want to go to NYC. Me: But not America? Guide: No. Not America.

That's actually really interesting. I wonder how much they really know about the rest of the world (not negative propaganda, but actually know.) Judging by this conversation, not too much...

Did people seem to understand how bad things are there (either in general, or compared to the rest of the world?) Was there any expression of 'I don't like this part of living here', or 'I wish this was different', or did they just seem to accept it the way it was? (For instance, with the 3 hours of electricity thing - do they think that's how it is in the rest of the world, too?)

In fact, if I found that timer, I'd be more likely to refund it - almost guaranteed, honestly - than if I'd been able to continue playing.

It seems like it'd be more useful to be able to add annotations within the article itself, linking to proof or evidence of truth or falsehood, then generate an aggregate truth / falsehood score based on the annotations.

Often parts of an article are true and others are false, and if all we can do is flag the entire article as true or false, without letting viewers know which parts are which, that's not really too useful.
