One of our friends gets in trouble for wandering off, as we tour the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum in Pyongyang, North Korea. This museum is dedicated to the North Korean government's rendition of Korean War.
I've been to NK, and it's the tour guides (or more specially your tour minders) get the blame if their group steps out of line or behaves inappropriately or disrespectfully. You're not on a tour of the Louvre. Behave appropriately and you get to see a whole lot more. Act up and you're on the next plane to Beijing. As happened to one German member of our group who was a complete pain in the ass and thought the whole thing was one big joke. The NK's don't see it that way. And they are not known for their relaxed sense of humour.
Because some of the so called Adults in a group are being annoying and painful. Their Guide is so call,but like to call them capitalists idiot,a least one 12yo. Have Resept in another country when it's their first trip to both of the Korea's.🇰🇵🇰🇷
if i wer to go to NK i woud fart directly into kim Jon uns face like that : pffffrrtttt pfrrrrrt pfrt pfrt PFRRRT u gonna act up again??11 PFFFFRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT!!!!
@@byromjoseph5898 I called myself "Zwie", a different way to spell my actual name, cause foreigners can't pronounce it. I added the word "Failure" in my username because I have a lot of failed dreams, my parents wanted me to become someone I'm not, plus, I always procrastinate stuff and I hardly accomplish my hobbies ( drawing, etc. ) I've watched many videos from people who went to North Korea, they'd took the tourists to factories and kindergartens, to show them how North Korea is thriving. Both DPRK and Vietnamese propaganda posters use similar words and motto phrases, 'cause two languages are both Sino languages. E.g : "Citizens and Party Members, with one same heart, we shall defeat all difficulties, imperialists and make our glorious nation greater !" * Edit 3 years later: My God, I hate this pathetic self-pity reply I made in my late high school year, I was very cringey and lonely back then so I vented to any stranger I could. Please ignore any reply I made in this thread.
I'll never understand Americans going to North Korea. North Korea isn't a fun vacation. It'll give you an experience, but it's not worth it. It's all staged. They pay actors to pretend to be all happy at the perfect times. North Korea hates the US. America decimated Korea in the Korean war. They actually ran out of things to bomb. Yeah a lot of the bombing campaigns were wrong. But North Korea is still angry at us, and taken much of that anger to the extreme. They're taught to hate Americans to the core, well anyone not Korean, as they also hate Japanese people as Japan owned Korea from the 1910s to WWII, and South Koreans as well. Literally their only ally is China, and even then they're not the bestest of friends. So, yeah, don't screw around there especially if your American. Like that guy who nearly got sent to a labor camp for taking a poster. They don't mess around there. And if I was on one of those trips I'd be so paranoid and terrified of doing something wrong. I couldn't do it.
"The next stop on the tour is the Anti-Aircraft guns we have on display.....Sir could you please stand against the wall and make sure you have your feet on the markers on the ground, thank you!"
Andre: *Walks away from the tour* DPRK Guide: "Over to my right we have three armed soldiers rapidly approaching us." Rest of the tour: *Nervous sweating intensifies*
He just stepped away 2 meters to get a better look at that sign. They then poked very mild fun at the fact that this was a problem for some reason (And that is quite ridiculous). What am I missing here?
While these tourist act like kids snickering at the teacher, they don't realize they may be putting their tour guide in real danger. She is a prisoner trying to survive.
@@rosewater1862 most people didn't choose to be where they are now. Having a choice is really something only a really small percentage of the population have.
@@IARRCSim I'd be so pissed if i spent £000s on a trip to one of the most curious places on Earth only for some hyperactive yanks prancing around to ruin it.
This is why I love reading comments, you never know what you'll read sometimes it's just arguments but sometime shit get so funny you can't stop laughing
@@iama2509 keep in mind that it's North Korea. You're not supposed to stray from the tour guide. If you act even slightly rebellious, you can get in trouble.
@@omgorangelollipop8184 Now it’s time for cameramen and Andre. As long and as many as it needs to be done before everyone will understand what the discipline means. I like it. I remember the times from my childhood in communism when the teachers have the right to beat you and punish you with soft tortures.
Jesus, how hard is it to be respectful when you’re in another country. Imagine the outcry if a visitor was carrying-on and giggling like a schoolgirl at Arlington cemetery on Veterans Day.
“No Andre, would you please follow me over to these nice men that are holding their guns standing in a line, and just stand on the spot there in front of them, thanksss”
Later that evening Andre decided to go home early, and left for the airport without telling any of the other members of the tour group. According to a note he later sent to his parents he decided to continue travelling round the world, and would not be coming home for some time. This it the last known footage of Andre before he began his world tour.
@@SaahilShaikh No, not really. OP is making a joke about what normally happens to people who fuck around in North Korea. They usually don't make it home.
I think that's what was happening. Like they know all their information. And they tried to be slick not taking seriously where they were. No reason she would say Matt after he said Andre, sounds nothing alike.
@@ABoxIsMyHome Yea but it sounded like she said Matt like she knew and when he said Andre it looked like she was like “okay well that’s bs but imma leave it there”. No conspiracy here, if you look in the other comments you’ll see that many people think the same thing m8. That’s all.
“Can I have his name please. Can I have your name please.” I would’ve thrown up. She looked pissed. I’d be scared they wouldn’t let me leave. He just went to see the tanks!!
Chubzdoomer so like if he did wander off she could say "hey [name] please come back" instead of having to ask other people what his name was to get him to come back
Chubzdoomer it seemed more like a respect thing because if i was trying to call someone back it's rude to say "hey you white guy" or "hey you guy in the red shirt" it's better to call them by their name
They say that Andre can still be found in the back room at the museum, spending the countless days of his sentence on the static bicycle that powers the exhibit lights, crying out his love for the Great Leader.
I mean what exactly is there to be educated about in the "vast" history of North Korea? Like they acted childish, ok? You've never done anything silly?
There is plenty. Look up Otto Warmbier. Disrespecting the country’s pseudo-history and leaders can get you imprisoned and tortured. I recommend you don’t visit DPRK, either
Scott Glennon, look up Otto Warmbier. It would not be the first time someone acted foolishly in DPRK and paid the price. The woman in the video was clearly irritated by their behavior-if they know better, that makes their behavior even more reckless.
Tourism is used as propaganda to make NK look better than it really seems. Its unlikely that they'd just start beating the shit out of him or imprison him while hes with other tourist and a tour guide. Only time shit like that happens is when you're blatantly breaking the laws, like that one guy that secretly tried to still a NK flag and was imprisoned and died.
She was super cool about it. The U.S media tells a bunch of lies to dehumanize North Koreans. You can't joke, you can't laugh, you can't have a different haircut. All lies.
@@lucas5893 that's not a lie at all including I myself am a huge advocate for the liberation of north korea and have been to actually seminars with escaped north korean people. They have been executed for much less there. Yeonmi park and Shin Dong hyuk would both disagree with. Otto Warmbier was killed for taking a poster you think that regime is nice. If it's so nice then why do they kill people who tried to escape.
Especially when she is announcing his name after asking him not something I would play with look what they did to that poor guy that took there poster down he was a vegetable and died after he finally came home
Flashback to the kid that was arrested for allegedly stealing a propaganda poster from the hotel he was staying at, and when he was released a year later, he died from severe injuries he sustained while in prison.
Why would he do this? Does he realize that he could probably get the tour guide in lots of trouble? What a jerk!! The woman is probably afraid for her life.
WTF HE TOOK 5 STEPS FORM HER JUST TO LOOK AT A TANK THAT SHE IS LITERALLY TALKING ABOUT AND THERE IS LITERALLY AN OTHE GUY STANDING THERE AFTER A FEW SECONDS
@@peterhenderson5413 I agree. Most of the hate for North Korea in this video's comment section is blind dogma. The claims seemed to almost always be completely baseless - not necessarily wrong, but without _anything_ to back them up. I've only seen three or so references to specific sources, one of which was a full-blown URL hyperlink.
@@peterhenderson5413 just guessing? this was a high ranking spy, what more for a tour guide. North Koreans are not allowed to own cars and you think people are guessing. nice. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t9rLqYXTaFI.html&ab_channel=AsianBoss
Her English is seriously good though, when he tries to help her work out his name "Andre - 안드레" and when he says it in Korean phonetics she works it out as "Andre." .
@Jake People are not taught to have an open mind or value their lives anymore. If people are willing to parade themselves like a silly child for the sake of clicks, then it shows how far humanity has fallen. One doesn't have to like the North Korean people, but they chose to go there and learn their history and culture. I'm sure they had a pep talk from the tour office on what and not to do whilst in North Korea, it is this stupid child's fault if he failed to listen.
Listen: I'm sure North Korea is a perfectly fine and safe holiday destination, just as long as you don't do stupid shit that any idiot would know not to do. Stay on the marked paths, stay out of roped-off areas, remain with your tour group, maintain a neutral default facial expression, always have your papers in order and ready at hand, don't try to steal a propaganda poster for a souvenir, don't try to bring in a personal supply of your drug of choice to maintain your habit in the manner to which you're accustomed until you get home again, don't discuss state affairs, pay attention during instruction and guidance sessions, never give a fake name to anyone [they already know who you are]. And if you have a habit of talking to yourself, learn to squash it, especially when you're alone in your hotel room. I'd say only doofuses and people who set out to do something they know they're not supposed to do have any reason to worry during a holiday in North Korea. If you're a typical, run-of-the-mill, normal civilian who's not involved in illicit activities, you're much more likely to get blown away with a Kalashnikov in Anytown, U.S.A. There, it's the "Haven't seen you around. Where you from"? or "Hey! Yo! Hey buddy"! that you really gotta worry about.
You also have to think that this could cost HER the job and maybe even her freedom. They are crazy. Later Edit: As in going to jail. For all of the numbnuts saying that this is not freedom, as if there are no jails in North Korea because their life already sucks.
