@nytimes: North Korea is taking inspiration from the West to blunt the impact of international sanctions and bring in cash. One example is the country's leader, Kim Jong-un's pet project—a seaside resort stocked with foreign beer and water slides. Daria Zubkova, one of the first foreign tourists to visit the resort, said the experience felt like other beach trips she'd taken before, but with some unusual features. #NorthKorea #Tourism #KimJongun

“It was interesting to see how people in that country live” girlie, you were *not* seeing how people in that country live. That was all a performance, they don’t want you to see how it really is.

totally normal to go on vacation and not be allowed to talk to the people that live there and have your communications monitored by hotel staff 🙄

Going on a trip that you know is that wildly curated is crazy. It’s not an authentic trip 😅
