TrodPod: North Korea

from TrodPod

North Korea is the world’s most isolated country, and visiting it is one of travel’s most surreal experiences. Everything is controlled, curated and choreographed – and yet, within those constraints, there is genuine wonder to be found. The Mass Games alone are worth the trip: a spectacle of such audacious scale it defies belief. Beyond Pyongyang, ancient tombs and historic cities hint at a Korean cultural heritage that long predates the current regime. This is not a normal holiday. It is not meant to be. Love the pod?
