At any place, Nam also read and learn about the history of that country by himself because for the young man: “Traveling is like shopping, instead of buying clothes, I buy experience, buy It is also a way to beautify the soul. ”Son Nam has set foot in more than 30 countries around the world, most recently Korea

. The Son Nam countries that have come to include the US, some countries in Europe, South America such as Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia .. All trips are made by a 24-year-old boy, only the most recent trip to the DPRK is required to buy a tour.



When asked about motivations to travel to Korea, Nam said: “In the past, when I was traveling to Korea, I had the opportunity to talk to local people about North Korea. The elderly are very fond of their neighboring country because many of their relatives have been displaced for more than 60 years due to the war. I personally find the history of Korea and South Korea somewhat similar to Vietnam, but luckily they are much more independent that their country was independent and the North and South shared a family. In addition, when I heard the news about Korea, I knew that their country was completely separate from the outside world, so with my curious nature, I also want to travel here to see how things are going. ” The first didn't go smoothly when Nam was denied a visa because he worked in the media industry, only to succeed for the third time. The tour lasted 5 days 4 nights in August, passing the locations: Pyongyang, Mount Myohyang, Kaesong city and Panmunjom village, the border of the two Koreas. China) with fairly simple procedures, only need a passport and basic documents The tour has more than 50 guests, has 2 tour guides, one Chinese and one English speaker.



Only Nam is not Chinese, so the delegation sent an English speaking guide for him. The first itinerary was a flight from Shenyang (China) to Pyongyang (North Korea). When entering and exiting, the security staff carefully checks that electronic devices such as laptops, cell phones must match the barcode. In particular, the propaganda and content of Korean articles and articles about North Korea were confiscated. South's attempt to "live virtual" was suppressed because the whole Korea did not have an internet connection for tourists. He has no way of communicating with the outside world. In the North Korean intranet, people can only access 22 Korean newspaper websites. In particular, Korean and Kpop movies are banned, being used to the hustle and bustle of life, so the desert scene in Korea made him both scared and interesting.



Nam told about the road going from Pyongyang to Mount Myohyang. The road is wide, but only the convoy of the South runs at 60km / h. Part of the reason for the absence is that in North Korea, people are not allowed to immigrate to another province, and where the household registration must be, on the second day of the South Korean trip, people are allowed to visit the museum. presents gifts from heads of state to North Korea. Knowing that he is Vietnamese, the guide led Nam to the place where the picture of Uncle Ho shook hands with President Kim Nhat Thanh. At the end of the trip, Nam experienced a "howling" incident when leaving. At that time, only Nam was left behind, the security staff checked Nam's passport very carefully. The young man felt "flustered" because he took a lot of photos over the past few days - an unwelcome job in North Korea.



Finally, an officer took Nam to a closed room, took out his camera, checked each photo and asked Nam to delete all the pictures of the human face.Nam recalled: “At that time, the whole airport was empty for a day there are only two flights to Beijing and Shenyang. I was also scared and confused because everyone had finished the procedure and left alone, but I also comforted myself that nothing will happen ”. Finally, after an hour more, Nam was also relieved when he completed the procedures and boarded the plane.This is probably the foreign trip where the traveler has the least contact with locals because there are so many prevent. The North Korean to whom Nam talks the most is the guide. This woman comes from a powerful family because only they can contact the outside world.Nam shared his feelings after the trip: “The group's meal was supposed to be luxurious but when I picked it up very much many hotels.



The last BBQ meat also had a lot of fat. Tourists have paid a lot for the trip, but the meal is not complete, they do not know what people here have to eat every day. At that time, I felt more valuable than what I had. ”See some rare photos in North Korea by Nam Chu.
