PLEASE!!! People, quit going to North Korea.

I'm sorry, I know it's interesting, I'd love to see it too, but your money is supporting terror upon innocent people. If tourists were able to really expose something to the world by going, I'd be more supportive of this all, but instead they only see what the government wants them to see.

This is one of my favorite sites detailing the horrors that occur there. One thing I observed is that the closest camp was about 60 km from Pyongyang. 60 km from people who get daily beatings, murders, and live in Nazi work camp conditions. That's so close, hell, I'm sure some of us drive that distance to get to work and back every day.

I'm sure it's fun to go see exotic places that we aren't familiar with, but I'm sure the oppressed people of North Korea would beg and plead with you to not support the regime if they wouldn't be executed for doing so.

The US. I've read a lot about North Korea from many different people from different locations in the world. The stigma against North Korea is probably less wherever you live compared to the US, but it doesn't change the fact that we have real stories of refugees who have escaped from these camps, which have been located via satellite.
