Something a little different, but after seeing a friend headed there, we realised there were flights going from Sydney/Brisbane:

                        @abctoz: That they give the detention a "lawful reason" under their laws does not mean the detention is not arbitrary - it could be done for political or cultural reasons that would otherwise not warrant such detention.

                          @DogGunn: i mean you provided a list that is what at most 50 persons?

                          if you multiply 5000 across a period of say 20 years, that's 100,000 tourists. 50 out of 100000 doesn't seem that out of line with typical crime rates in the west

                          did you read the reasons given in the list? a lot of them were "Illegally entering North Korea"

                            @abctoz: Of course I read the list.

                            I can't tell if you're serious or not. Meanwhile, in the gulags, of which are quite common in the Western World…

                            a lot of them were "Illegally entering North Korea"

                            And many of the list are clearly bullshit charges, with people held on political grounds to extract a visit from US politicians or to extract sanction relief.

                            Look, by all means, if you want to go to North Korea, do so at your own risk. But you're helping to finance a regime that should not have any part in the modern world.

      Pretty shitty reason for a neg. There are many countries you could argue with the same reasons. This is about the deal, which is good. FFS, attention seekers on here are getting worse.

        I'll leave the attention seeking comment for what it is: pointless.
        And if you want to know, I feel the same for deals with Brunei, Syria, and a few others. While i look at Canberra with disgust, at least we have the right to vote and the opportunity to speak our mind without fear of retribution on ourselves or our family.

        Oh, and being married to someone whose parents fled a country for persecution because of their heritage, i feel i have a little right to voice my disgust against regimes that oppress.

        • [Deactivated] on 26/02/2019 - 21:11

          Of course you have that right. This is just not the place. This is a good deal. You can leave your politics and personal opinion in the comments, but to neg it? Cmon, be serious. Make sure you neg the next deal to Venezuela, or heck, even USA if you lean that far left.

          • Lord Fart Bucket on 26/02/2019 - 22:25

            @[Deactivated]: How is it not the place? This is a “deal” about going to North Korea… tell me how this a deal? To quote JV, what’s the normal price? How is this not a (stupid) promotion/advertisement to coincide with the Vietnam top?

            • [Deactivated] on 27/02/2019 - 01:32

              @Lord Fart Bucket: Can you show me a better deal? You were not arguing the deal, but the destination. I think that doesn’t justify a neg, all I’m saying.

          • Ulysses31 on 27/02/2019 - 21:07

            @[Deactivated]: Read the neg rules. You're wrong.

            • [Deactivated] on 28/02/2019 - 05:26

              @Ulysses31: I’ve read them plenty. The basis of the neg vote is as follows;

              To let others know about issues with the deal, merchant or product.

              The ‘product’ being North Korea is about the closest excuse you can use for a neg and that is a stretch. If you want to accept that as a valid reason then we are going to see negs on half the travel deals on here if not more.

        The place is a communist country, so how the country performs economically doesn't affect whether he stays in charge or not. So your neg is irrelevant.

    Can finally meet the man who not only scored 11 holes in one on round of golf but also:

    1: HAMBURGER

    Kim Jong-un's father Kim Jong-il claimed he invented the hamburger, calling it "double bread with meat", with grand dreams that it would become a new national dish as he unsuccessfully introduced it to the nation's universities.

    2: SPEAKING OF FOOD

    The older Kim was also fond of claiming sawdust was full of nutrients, encouraging his citizens to chow down on the building byproduct in their regular times of famine.

    3: SUPERNATURAL BODILY FUNCTIONS

    Kim's official biography stated he never needed to use a toilet because his body was so well calibrated he didn't urinate or defecate.

    A friend of mine went there as part of a tourist group and actually loved it. He had no internet during his trip, and mobile phone didn't work. There was an option to purchase a local 3G sim card but the cost was through the roof, so he enjoyed being gadget-free for a week. Most of the tours were supervised and accompanied by people filming the group on camera. The photo op were very limited and strictly regulated by the tour guides. The food was OK and there was plenty of cheap local alcohol. So he felt like back to the Soviet 1970s.

    • Cluster on 26/02/2019 - 17:21

      The group is filmed for propaganda purposes in NK. They get shown to the local population. 'See, foreigners are visiting our schools and farms to see how the Great Leader is revolutionizing industry!'

      I visited South Korea last year and went to the DMZ. Really interesting area. I would like to go to NK but the possibility of being a convenient hostage and the certainty that my money would go towards upholding a repressive regime doesn't sit well with me.

    • Cluster on 26/02/2019 - 17:43

      Getting to Seoul is very cheap and easy from at least a dozen countries in the region, including many budget airlines.

      Getting to Pyongyang means flying from one of six countries and often means using the monopoly carrier.

      Seoul to Pyongyang is free if you can avoid the mines and bullets however.

    My recommendation would be to fly to Hanoi, Vietnam first, and then take the 4500 km train trip from Vietnam to Pyongyang through China, just like how Kim Jong-Un travelled from North Korea to Vietnam today to meet Trump at the Summit. And if you are quick enough, you may get a free ride from Vietnam to North Korea when Kim Jong-Un returns after the summit in his bullet-proof train.
