The money that he spent on this trip is being used to fund the North Korean regime. Louis supported the dictator by doing that, whether he wanted to or not.

I am seriously so glad your North Korea trip went so well! I think it's amazing how you showed the world that the people there are also just people I guess and do want to connect. Really good job and good content!❤️
Congrats on your successful trip to N. Korea, despite many criticisms. Most of the time people only criticize things that they themselves cannot do. What you have accomplished is way far from many of them can ever reach. Job well done Louis!
your videos whilst i did enjoy raise alot of questions for me about north korea it has made me very interested and i am now writing a uni project about tourism in North Korea so thanks!
I wonder if he'll take a week off so he doesn't have to record a week ahead and edit it. I hope he does take a week off because he puts a lot of work into these videos and deserves it!
Korea vlogs were awesome man. Can't believe you're in Richmond like 5 mins from me. Also the space on the cup is a vacuum which stops convection currents, basically designed to keep the coffee hotter. It's how thermos flasks work 😃
I HONESTLY LOVED THE NORTH KOREA VLOGS! IT DEFINITELY CHANGED THE WAY I THOUGHT ABOUT NORTH KOREA, I THINK ITS A LITTLE LESS HARSH AS WE THINK IT IS. IDK JUST SAYING. GOING TO NORTH KOREA WAS WORTH IT FOR LOUIS
no i said i loved what I saw, i obviously don't like the government there but the people seem nice, i am pretty sure the regime there is cruel but not the people that live there
So glad you are back safe from North Korea. Thought your videos were great and well presented. Truly inspiring seeing the people there live life with no clue on the outside world. I couldn't imagine living life that, but to them we are far from normal
One of the reasons why i watch these vlogs is because I lived in Surbiton for a while and I used to do that walk to Richmond almost weekly... Every time Louis is at home is see places I went to as well so it makes me nostalgic..
You gonna upload 2x a day to catch up? Ignore the haters bro, you can only blog what you see and can totally understand you not wanting to put yourself and others in difficult positions. People like complaining!
Louis, I think you ARE a morning person, just not in the typical sense .. Staying up till 5am many nights is not something I could get used to!! Enjoy the last of the British summer!
Hey Louis, for your next vlog series maybe you can visit a slaughter house but only show the cattle frolicking in the pasture. Be sure to bring your skateboards and posi attitude!!!
I like to consider the Dalai Lama's sleep pattern, he goes to bed when it gets dark and wakes up when before the sun comes out. Although, this way might not always be the most fun, as your late night shenanigans has proven :)
I like those coffee cups you showed at the end too, you don't burn your hands and it keeps warmer for longer. My friend purchased a few the other day they were not that expensive. but would be easy to break.
Man i really enjoyed your north korean videos, they made me feel like i was also part of the group! you should definately try to go on winter...cant wait to go one day. P.S: I really like your way of editing videos
Omg I live 10 mins away from where you were at 3:58 and my horse lives on the field literally where u were, (in staines) and then the shot after that is from the A316 which I go down all the time :D It's a small world!
I'm curious how Louis created that intro animation. It's cool how it appears within the actual video and floats past them. Would anyone be able to explain/point me in the right direction on how to do something like that?
Louis, I want to know how you've handled all the stimulation since leaving NK. I saw a blog of a foreign student that studied in Pyongyang for 6 months- he said all he could do when he landed back in Beijing was sit on a bench and look at his feet as he was just too overwhelmed.
Louis and Rayas relationship is totally goals!!
If you are watching this video, you are a beautiful person and have an amazing day 😊😊😊
What if I'm a murderer ??
Day made
+Winistan Doesn't matter as long as you up vote their fake niceness and pseudo-motivational message.
It's 23h30 :'( But thanks ! I send love to all of you :)
There is so much positivity in the comments now. It just proves that all the people who were hating on Louis did not really watch him or know him.
That's what I thought on his last video. Glad they're not here anymore tho 😊
You're so right
The money that he spent on this trip is being used to fund the North Korean regime. Louis supported the dictator by doing that, whether he wanted to or not.
Ted Moring
Okay, my bad. But is it better that the regime paid for his visit? What is their motive behind it?

Glad to see you're staying positive man. Don't let them slow you down and keep doing what you're doing. Much love!

I second that!
agreed
Nicely delivered +Creative North! btw, your latest video is simply amazing. keep it up dude!
Hey +Creative North, your Born 1980 Something vlog series is very inspiring. I love every single word of wisdom mentioned there. i'm hungry for more!
True words! Man I'd love to watch more of your videos, but most of them are blocked on Germany because of the music.. :/
glad you made it back safely! thanks for inspiring me to make videos, keep grinding Louis!
best part of any journey, is the coming home, and the taste of your loved one lips, and warmt of their hugs...
when are you going to update us about your bus ? really curious to see the progress 😄
Really happy for you Louis!
Thank you for inspiring me to make my own videos.
:)
hello kez!
great stuff man
he inspires me too ;)
Inspires me as well. Love the whole vibe! Live the adventures brothers and sisters! 👊🏼
the excitement in your voice when you see raya and that kiss was just so lovely to see!
your videos whilst i did enjoy raise alot of questions for me about north korea it has made me very interested and i am now writing a uni project about tourism in North Korea so thanks!
It was so nice seeing Raya and Louis together knowing how worried Raya was about Louis☺️
+Ted Moring Ik, but she made that vid of her crying so it's nice to see her not worried! Ik we all were
I wonder if he'll take a week off so he doesn't have to record a week ahead and edit it. I hope he does take a week off because he puts a lot of work into these videos and deserves it!
agreed!
+ Louis Cole
Agree! 👊🏻
Agree 100%
A week of no Louis?!!! YOU MADMAN!
really enjoyed this vlog and its lovely to see you reunite with Raya
Accentuate the positive and minimize the negative wherever you go. Love from Brazil!
Korea vlogs were awesome man. Can't believe you're in Richmond like 5 mins from me. Also the space on the cup is a vacuum which stops convection currents, basically designed to keep the coffee hotter. It's how thermos flasks work 😃

please do your research
so the staged propaganda worked for you then? simpleton.
no i said i loved what I saw, i obviously don't like the government there but the people seem nice, i am pretty sure the regime there is cruel but not the people that live there
It's pretty harsh. Louis was only shown the good parts, obviously they wouldn't show the bad bits
Is your caps broken???
plot twist, North Korea got all them rare pokemon... and no one realizes it, so sad.
Kim actually is snorlax in disguise.
lol wow. much juchemon.
this comment got me LOL
+Valbuenium im screaming lmaooooo
Manasa from Hogwarts
screaming in the dprk...
You two are so cute together! I miss her daily vlogs though :( beautiful editing on this too
So glad you are back safe from North Korea. Thought your videos were great and well presented. Truly inspiring seeing the people there live life with no clue on the outside world. I couldn't imagine living life that, but to them we are far from normal
You two are the most beautiful couple and I'm so happy that you have each other 🙌🏻
When you stumble upon a Louis vlog this early >>>>>
Love the relationship you two share!!
Wow, when i first moved to london (richmond) i stayed in this exact hotel. Pretty nostalgic 😊
So good to see that you're back Louis, loved the DPRK films, huge inspiration!
His reaction to seeing Rya. Oh my ❤️
Happy you're home safely and what a nice surprise to see Raya greet you! 🤗
My heart!!! They are SOOOOO cute together!!
A little nap goes a long way in helping you through the day!
Another great video Louis ! Awesome vlog series of the DPRK! Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Welcome home bro! Loved the North Korea series and can't wait for bus updates
Love your description box: Every music always listed! Nice!
Someone's happy to be back with his girl.❤️ glad you're back!
One of the reasons why i watch these vlogs is because I lived in Surbiton for a while and I used to do that walk to Richmond almost weekly... Every time Louis is at home is see places I went to as well so it makes me nostalgic..
Oh my god did he live in Surbiton
+SkyBlueClouds no I don't think so, I did live there. But he often visits Kingston and the area so I assume he lives nearby.
+Gilles Bodson oh Wow still that's really close it seems like with youtubers they either live in Brighton or America so it's even more wierd😂
+Gilles Bodson OMG same tbh! And also I think he lives in esher or Walton but I'm not 100% x
+SkyBlueClouds yeah and Belgian guy's like me don't get a chance :D haha, no i'm just starting out :)
that acoustic performer though. that was nice
I'd like to know his name :) his voice was soothing.
I would really love to follow that guy. Loved his voice!
any idea who he was, would love to hear more
i like him toooo somebody help us
GOD, the British accent is SO GOOD, I could hear you talk all day!!! Greetings from Brazil ❤
Early squad. I haven't watched your videos in a few days, so I'll have to find the time to binge watch them. I enjoy all of your videos!
Do it his last ones were SO INTERESTING
I bet! I watched his first few North Korean ones when they came out, but I wasn't able to watch them all.
raya always looks so pretty in these vlogs :)
I just cant get over the fact that you film and edit soooo good! Jaleous much!! Love your vlogs :D
Louis is such a beautiful and Inspiring human. The positivity in the comments section is wonderful. Have an awesome day everyone.
I can't wait to see the bus project again!
Loved the whole little mini series
I feel relieved I didn't end up in a Korean prison just from watching the vlogs.
That reunion was so cute!!!x
You gonna upload 2x a day to catch up? Ignore the haters bro, you can only blog what you see and can totally understand you not wanting to put yourself and others in difficult positions. People like complaining!
Vlog*
or just skip some days...
saw the title with the thumbnail and automatically thought "she got her period?" I know the feel lol.
😂😂😂😂😂
Lmmfao!!!!!!! I'm dead 😂😂😂😂😂
Louis, I think you ARE a morning person, just not in the typical sense .. Staying up till 5am many nights is not something I could get used to!! Enjoy the last of the British summer!
Does anyone know who the singer/guitar player is? Or is he just a random person performing?
yh it sounded like a good song
right! I need to know 0_0
I was hoping Louis would talk to him
yes! was about to ask the same question
The original song is by Canned Heat - On The Road Again :)
I''ll miss so much the North Korean vlogs :((( Hope you go back soon!
the reunion was so cute!
That was an awesome welcoming by Raya!
Rating of a battery? please explain Louis ??? too strong? lol i'm an electrician, just wondering.
Dear Louis!
Thank you for inspiring me to make my own videos, xx
how do you do it Louis? I would be exhausted & stressed
Hey Louis, for your next vlog series maybe you can visit a slaughter house but only show the cattle frolicking in the pasture. Be sure to bring your skateboards and posi attitude!!!
Keep up the great work, I really appreciate the work and effort you put into making these videos! Thank you.
Any idea who that guitarist on the street was?
Dunno, but if you like that check out "the howling " sounds similar.
I'm a night owl too. I like how quiet it is in the evening and the wifi is super fast. You get no distractions if everyone is asleep. 😂
Louis we saw you at boardmasters hope you made a vlog!
Really enjoyed the vlog - didn't get much done this morning though...
I like to consider the Dalai Lama's sleep pattern, he goes to bed when it gets dark and wakes up when before the sun comes out. Although, this way might not always be the most fun, as your late night shenanigans has proven :)
I like those coffee cups you showed at the end too, you don't burn your hands and it keeps warmer for longer. My friend purchased a few the other day they were not that expensive. but would be easy to break.
thank you for your vlogs from North Korea enjoy your trip back home
Man i really enjoyed your north korean videos, they made me feel like i was also part of the group! you should definately try to go on winter...cant wait to go one day. P.S: I really like your way of editing videos
Omg I live 10 mins away from where you were at 3:58 and my horse lives on the field literally where u were, (in staines) and then the shot after that is from the A316 which I go down all the time :D It's a small world!
you go Louis
I'm glad that you're safe and well!

Hello Louis! I love your videos thanks for inspiring me!
Wow that musician was pretty awesome. does anyone know his name?
luis, whats the name of that battery. I'm looking for somthing like this for ever!
cheers big fan.
I'm glad you made it back safely.
I love to see you with Raya . This hotel looked really nice , was it an historic building ?
You should do a video on travel items essential :D
Can't wait to see where you are off to next!
what is that charger that gives you a full charge on your macbook?! I NEED IT
just 9th of August
now is August 22
there are so many vlogs you need to upload whoah
I think he said in the vlogs before N.Korea he was going to do two vlogs per day in order to catch up
You guys are so sweet together and you seem to have had an amazing romantic time :)
OH MY GOD LOUIS COME TO FINLAND!!!!!!! PLLSSSS
Whats the battery thing he takes on the plane? I need one of those....
I'm curious how Louis created that intro animation. It's cool how it appears within the actual video and floats past them. Would anyone be able to explain/point me in the right direction on how to do something like that?
Trying to become a better morning person! Pizza looked amazing :)
Who was the busker at the end? Loved his music!
I started watching you through a few of your North Korea vlogs. But then I realised there was more. Now I am catching up on everything else
so hows the paycheck from the north
The bus?
I like your camera on the suitcase trick, Raya. lol ;-) Glad you made it back safely, Louis!
it easy to tell when Louis is tired because he is rambling
Ted Moring that's true
When do we get to find out what's happening with the bus?
Raya shows the updated bus in one of her recent vlogs which are around a week ahead of Louis'
Thanks but don't watch Raya.
Aw I think it's going to be in the next video of hispossibly.
Does anyone know who the artist around 7:00 was?
what is that battery bank called ?
i really want one for my macbook air for school
lets try and make his next vlog get no disslikes at all!!
Woop woop Samu from Finland!! :) I hope you really do come visit Finland!
WHO IS THAT FINNISH MAN?!?!🇫🇮🚨🇫🇮🚨

Louis, I want to know how you've handled all the stimulation since leaving NK. I saw a blog of a foreign student that studied in Pyongyang for 6 months- he said all he could do when he landed back in Beijing was sit on a bench and look at his feet as he was just too overwhelmed.
