Here’s an update in our continuing series on the world’s weirdest country.
Donald Trump Tweeted his displeasure at Kim Jong-Un’s threat to fire a warhead and reach the United States. There was a half-hearted response from North Korea as their carrier pigeons couldn’t make it across the Pacific.
Not so with North Korea’s new travel website. It’s up! Anything else North Korea launches generally goes down in flames.
The country currently has a ban on international tourists due to fears of both the Zika virus and any of its citizens finding out that most people eat regularly.
Different areas of the site highlight a variety of North Korea’s attractions, from the annual chicken chase to its Capital Pyongyang’s only restaurant to earn a half star for its mock steak, a treat for those who have never eaten meat.
Some of the travel site images including pictures of rockets and a single dog which was purported to be Glorious Leader Kim Jong-Un’s personal dog until it peed on its own electrified fence and fried itself.
You’ll have the chance to visit Pyongyang’s most famous sights such as the mausoleum of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, as well as visiting more local places such as the mausoleums of local dignitaries who have run afoul of the system. Visit the bustling Kwangbok Supermarket, the only place in Pyongyang where ordinary people can actually see what they can’t buy.
The ‘deluxe’ tourist package includes guides that smile when you speak English, access to one of the twelve working cabs in the country and a toilet that is not a hole in the floor.
