Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Holiday in North
Korea?
North Korea is now
inviting more tourists, as many as two million by 2020! That may not be too ambitious
as more and more Chinese tourists are visiting neighboring states such as
Korea, Japan and Taiwan. They offer carefully tailored tour packages, showing
what they want those visitors see but disregarding what tourists want to see.
The more secretive and unknown a place is, the more interested people might become.
So you never know if you might be attempted to visit there while its unique
dictatorial regime lasts.
It also offers
very unique experiences. Some of the Soviet era trains still run on the rails.
Farmers work in the state-owned agricultural collectives. You may also witness
people visiting the Flower Exhibition Hall in the capital to paying respect to
the founding leaders. It sounds like a time-machine tour to the 60’s or 70’s,
doesn’t it?
Enjoy reading the
article and captions of the photos in North Korea.
