Plan a Trip to North Korea with Wireless Internet Service

North Korea: just the name itself can send shivers down one's spine. One of the most secretive countries in the world, this "Hermit Kingdom" has been under the control of one of the world's most brutal totalitarian dictatorships for more than fifty years and was named one of the members of the "Axis of Evil" by former U.S. president George W. Bush. Believe it or not, despite all this it is still possible to visit North Korea as a tourist. You can use your wireless Internet service to find out all you need to know about visiting North Korea, and how you will need to behave once you arrive.





North Korea was established after the partitioning of the Korean peninsula after the close of the Korean War in 1953. Since in many ways the Korean War was a "proxy war" between the United States and the former Soviet Union, it is not surprising that North Korea, which was controlled by the USSR, represents an ideal totalitarian, Stalinist state in many ways. The country is generally considered to have one of the worst human rights records in the world, and freedoms of speech, assembly, and the right to leave North Korea are drastically restricted. Additionally, the government of North Korea has largely established a "cult of personality" around the country's leadership, with monumental statues having been built to honor the country's heads of state while millions of North Koreans suffer from starvation.





Why would anyone want to visit such a desolate, repressive country in the first place? By poking around the issue a bit using your wireless Internet service, you can definitely explore both sides of the issue and decide whether a trip to North Korea is right for you. Many people argue that visiting North Korea in any capacity as a tourist effectively provides financial support to that regime. Others argue, however, that it is difficult to understand what the North Korean experience is really like, and therefore how we might help the country, without actually seeing what life is like there firsthand. There is also the argument that visiting the country can help counteract some of the negative propaganda North Koreans receive about foreigners.





While visiting North Korea, however, your activities will be closely monitored by North Korean government personnel, and compliance with the norms of North Korean society will be demanded. In particular, if you are not prepared to go without criticizing the country's leadership and way of life, or you do not want to bow at the foot of one of the many enormous statues of said leadership, you should absolutely not visit the country at all. Additionally, wireless Internet service and other forms of communication may be severely restricted. However, visiting North Korea can be a way to participate in one of the few truly unique travel experiences left in our heavily globalized world: a chance to see a functioning totalitarian society in action.
