I'd say that watching the guy sing Anarchy In the UK karaoke in front of a bunch of uncomfortable North Koreans is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

Oh, so true.

There's this part of me that wants to give 10,000 North Koreans a free week-long vacation somewhere outside of NK without any government supervison. Those poor people really buy into the propoganda they're fed, and they have no other source for what life is really like outside of the country.

It's horrifying on so many levels.

someone posted this video on another site i visit and that was what everyone said as well. the north korean girls (who were kinda hot actually) looked genuinely uncomfortable and disturbed during that song. i also enjoyed his impression of what his guide looked like when he finally got to smoke a cigarette.

This is a three part series detailing an American's recent 'visit' to North Korea. It's quite different from other documentaries on North Korea, mostly because the guy has a good sense of humor and they tend to keep the cameras rolling even when their North Korean minders start getting pissed at them and threaten them with jail.

It's certainly worth the watch for its unique look at North Korea and just for pure entertainment value. Parts two and three can be found here:

Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing, that was just creepy. I wonder if I would have had a chance in a game of ping-pong against the tea house chick. I pretty much destroy any whitey I play.

Well, since she probably doesn't have much else to do for months on end, I'd imagine she's had quite a bit of practice.

She did seem very friendly, though. Glad to see she hasn't become the North Korean equivalent of The Shining.

Ah, I know. She'd probably destroy me. When I was in language school I'd go to the recreation center and play the Asian instructors fairly often. They could be like 70 years old and they'd still be Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon on the table. Fortunately I was good enough that they could enjoy playing me and I wouldn't make a complete ass of myself.
