    If you willingly pay to go to North Korea you’re funding a dictatorship. You’re an asshole and if you end up in jail there you should be on your own

    A large portion of tourism income, including airfare, goes directly to the government, and North Korea can buy old nuclear warheads for several hundred thousand dollars, which adds up pretty quick with a few hundred tourists.

    Bear that in mind if you’re thinking of visiting.
