I chat with Veronika who was one of the Russians to visit North Korea recently and who posted her trip on social media. She tells us all about her trip to North Korea!
NOTE: The North Korean borders are NOT yet open. Some limited Russian tourist groups are currently permitted to go in only. Sign up to this newsletter or WhatsApp group for border opening updates.
My biggest thanks to Veronika for spending her time for this episode, and forever jealous of your visit!
Check out Veronika's page on the links below. I love the aesthetic!

I lived 27 years of my life under Ceausescu's Dictatorship in Romania till 1989 and it was not funny at all. North Korea is a lot more extreme... very sad... Myself I remember the days when we were hungry watching in front of the showcases of the so-called "SHOPS" where only the western Foreigner could shop... There was all kinds of "good stuff to eat" there ... and we could only observe through the window. Or the cold and darkness when our heating and electricity were turned off. Or when we were only allowed to watch TV for 2 hours a day and then only watch a dictator... That's why there is a difference if you make a trip in such a country out of curiosity or if you HAVE to live there. Also it was forbidden to have contact with foreigners... and much more. Many things that only citizens of the affected country know and foreigners do not notice. Thats why... VERY SAD.

Румыния после войны была отсталой и нищей аграрной страной. Во времена Чаушеску она успешно развивалась, было построено множество предприятий и современного бесплатного жилья, и превратилась в индустриальную благополучную страну с высоким уровнем жизни. Не зря он и сегодня необычайно популярен согласно опросам. Трудный период - это вторая половина 80-х, когда Румыния перешла на режим жесткой экономии, чтобы вернуть иностранные кредиты. И страна полностью рассчиталась с кредитами (наверное, единственный случай в истории). Это означало конец тяжелого периода экономии и возвращения к обычной жизни. Но к нормальной жизни Румынии не позволили вернуться, совершив переворот.
