What's South Korea like to visit? Jetstar have ~$450 return flights....
Well, it is Jetstar
Yeah pretty good. It’s been a while so it’s probably even better now. I have been to both sides of the border. I can unequivocally say the south is better
Really? What took you North?
A Chinese plane (joke)
I was there for work. A brief stint setting up communication network for a government entity. Spent a month there. Long periods of boredom interrupted by fascinating excursions.
government entity , eh
doesn't say which government
Well it wasn’t the DPRK if that sets your mind at ease🙂
that's worser
Wow, ok. So the myth of excursions being heavily curated.....? That true?
Very true. You don’t go anywhere without minder(s)
It'd be really fascinating to visit NK, but I'd be too scared that they'd take me to work in a labour camp.
Call me paranoid.
I jumped at the chance. Call it youthful bravado. But I get what you mean. I’m not even sure they are running civilian type tours anymore.
Like it'd be cool af, but yeah...
I’m tired. I mistook excursions as executions.
