Why do you want to check it out for yourself? What would you do there?
Lots of reasons.
- To witness first-hand the intense propaganda / brainwashed citizens.
- To see the skyscrapers and luxurious hotels that were built/maintained via. money that the Dear Leader should spend on the millions of people in poverty that work their hands to the bone for just enough to survive; they of course don't take you to these places, as they only show you the glamorous parts of the country (pretty much just 3 cities, as far as I can tell), but on the bus/train rides on the tour that transport you between each city, you pass through the very rural areas and some barren wastelands which allow you to get a small taste of how the common N. Korean citizen lives.
-To get tours of military/war museums where the guides give you their side of the Korean war, and explain why they Americans. As an American, you just absorb it in, and don't DARE say anything otherwise lol
- The ladies at intersections instead of street lights / How the lights in the city go out and there is total blackness at the same time each night; except they keep the lighting on the most important things, of course.. the statues and monuments of Kim Il Sun and the other 2 knuckleheads.
I hear that when you're there, you feel like you're in a place where time stood still. Plus i'd just be going for a 5 day, 4 night tour. So, worst case scenario is I'm bored for a couple days... Actually worst case scenario is I go on a tour and while I'm there, they declare war on the US. and keep us as prisoners and force us to work in concentration camps, and after a decade of being trapped and worked to death with no chance of rescue, I decide enough's enough and attack a guard and instantly get shot in the neck and die slowly.. that would be worst case scenario, but meh.
