    That’s interesting, what was Mongolia like and were you there for specific work opportunities or just because you liked moving around?

    Edit: hang on… North Korea…

      You can visit North Korea. They assign a guy to you to make sure you only see the approved stuff.

      A person lying on the internet…who could have foreseen this?

      I’ve been to most of these countries, they are all very nice. But like with anywhere it kinda depends on when and where you are, and you typically won’t get a real sense of the place unless you have a lot of time to travel.

      The country side of Mongolia is beautiful in the warm season, I hear it’s pretty barren and freezing when it’s cold. About 50% of the population lives in Ulaanbaatar and it has a pretty bad issue with air pollution. It was very smoggy when I visited, and I hear it gets a lot worse in the winter season when it regularly has some of the worst air pollution in the world.

        Must be the first one. This is a bona fide DPRK escapist
