Indigo Traveller hey dude, could you tell me which kind of video camera you used for this series? Thanks! :)
Indigo Traveller Just found your channel... Awesome ! New Subscriber. American who has been to Mexico, Canada, UK, and France. Want to do the European Train trip experience maybe hopping on and off in Capitals or interesting sites. Mobility will limit me some. Right now can get around with just a walker for extended walking. Have you or your Subscribers done multi country train travel or researched it ? Any suggestions ? Length of stay and budget not that important.. Thanks
Indigo Traveller yes
That's Crazy to watch from your side, I was stationed just a few miles from the DMZ I remember looking over to the North wondering what it was like over There! Enjoying Life Good to see!
Brazilian American Patriotic Soldier i was in Camp Giant 2001. It was very interesting seeing the other side of the DMZ
Maybe in the next vlog you can talk about the organization of the trip, prices, the documents you had to go thru and everything. That be very interesting.
I am going to make an entire video about that at the end of the trip. Cheers, Golday!
Did you use Koryo tours?
@@IndigoTraveller Well, its been a long time and from what I can see, you still havent done it.
@@Grave_Hunter_of_Aus I know this is 4 years later, but, he did
@@janthemanwlj he released a video in the series talking about how much it cost and in that he covered some of those aspects, then in the following video it was sort of a Q&A and he covered some of the documents etc. He wasn't in depth, but essentially he just said look up Koryo tours and then if you're entering/exiting via China (which I suspect is probably necessary, not sure) then make sure you have everything necessary for the China visa. But for the North Korea side it seemed like Koryo tours took care of it, you had to sign a bunch of documents and give them your passport when you arrived (which you got back at the end). All up it cost about 3000 euros (apparently the prices advertised for Koryo were in Euros oddly), including travel to and from the country and expenses in the country, for the 8 day trip.
For a so called "demilitarized zone" there seems to be a lot of military presence...
They’re guarding the gate so no North Korean residents illegally cross
@@jrwolfgang6080 Oh wow, thanks for that Einstein.
Nothing goes over your head does it 🤦♂️
@@joshkleine21 u were asking a question I simply answered smh lol 😆
@@jrwolfgang6080 Where did I ask a question, Einstein?
Even after being told, it’s still gone straight over your head… 🤦♂️😂
Lol 😂
When you leave north korea, they don't say "we hope you enjoyed your visit", you're told "you did enjoy your visit!".
Man, your videos are just awesome. Keep up that passion and great work! Greetings from Germany!
Thank you, so much!
Love these videos man! You seem super respectful. I've been watching since the first, and noticed I forgot to subscribe! I've been just coming back daily lol.
Appreciate it! Thank you :)
Me too haha!!
I really appreciate that you even put so much work into the cutting. Those panorama shots cut on the beat of the music are really awesome! Keep up the great work. Grettings from Germany!
11:29 crossing guard is bae
Nice work! I've been eager to thank you as a South Korean. North Korea is the closest country (physically and historically) but never get allowed to visit, so it was really interesting to know it as what I learnt was all from school materials. Thanks a lot! If you ever plan to visit South Korea and need any help, plz get ahold of me :)) Keep it up! Looking forward to next video as well!
love it!! i really enjoyed watching it
Incredible series Nick, already looking forward to your next destination. Safe travels man!
Saw your first North Korea video in my recommended and I've been hooked since! Been up all night binge watching your channel.
I somehow was suggested your N. Korea videos by youtube when the series first started, I watched out of curiosity, it's very well produced! I know you had a lot of struggles with camera stability and time constraints, but your photography, narration and music made it very interesting!
One of the best vlogs I’ve ever seen, good job in filming and editing, the music is on point in this video♥️
Been watching N-Koreas documenatries for some time now on RUclips and it's almost you get feel of change in N-Korea, does feel like it's prepping for opening to the world, this is the longest of the docs I have seen I mean 11 episodes :D
Keep up the excellent job and adventures you are on.
Greetings from Iceland.
Awesome job. But was it a good idea talking about the soldier asking you about news from the south. Seems like that could put the guy in some danger.
Excellent video coverage ! Keep up the great work on your travels !
I have loved coming back to your channel for this series!! This is super inspiring. Cheers!
Did you know that side dishes is the most favourable in korean culture? They are the inly one that serve that much side dishes.
That is why i love going to korean restaurant. Yummy!
his skills on editing 😳
Thank You For Sharing This Beautiful Video Vlog
Is the part of the DMZ where you were a exception when it comes to recording military people/buildings? Since you had the military guide and the soldiers quite obviously in your shots there??
Just found your channel and now binge watching 👌🏼 awesome vids!
I bet that was a cool train ride! Cheers buddy
Wow, all the roads seem empty, hardly no traffic of vehicles.
How much does a gallon or liter of gasoline cost over by there ? I wonder.....
Another great video. So gutted you are leaving. I need to see more.😀
Enjoy your videos, taking us through North Korea, a country I probably will not visit.
I've entered that blue DMZ building through both doors. On separate occasions, of course.
I don't think you mention what nationalities the rest of the group were.
Good for you, thanks for your work
Is there any possibility that "that soldier guy" might be at risk now that he's known to have asked tourists about the outside world? His face was clearly shown on camera.
Such an interesting point of view. Thanks for this video. Can I ask you how the food was?
I just see these people, and I want to know about their stories, their life. It makes me feel so curious
You probably know it but its sure in every country of the world they have some military officials who look your vids...
Great job you are coureagous tks for the view.
Cheers!
I noticed time he talks he raises his eyebrows
Destiny Contreras I also noticed that
The roads between the DMZ and Pyongyang are most likely better for the movement of troops and supplies I would presume
Yeah same here not a big fan of tours.. But guess you got to do what you got to do mate
Cheers mate 🙏
did the tour guides tell you not to mention the recent denuclearisation talks?
hey bro just discovered your channel, its sweeet as ;)
Super interesting, almost as good as the Bangladesh videos. You are the best
Absolutely love your vids on the DPRK 🇰🇵
Fascinating! Thank you.
super video well done
Can you add EP numbers to the titles
Every time they sing Pangapsumnida :D Like in Cuba Ive heard 26 times Guantanamera-song in 2 weeks :)
Fantastic another video
Thanks, James!
Indigo Traveller 250,000 subs by end of the year. My prediction stands.
Even when i went on the South Korean side it was sooooo rushed. Less then 10 minutes from on the bus to off the bus
Even though you gotta go to the lookout over the DMZ and the tunnel underneath the border so it was a lil longer then ten minutes
Are you not worried about getting the soldier into trouble for asking about outside news?
you should go to israel it would be a very interesting vlog
Will do!
Visit Palestine the money will help the villagers under occupation. Visiting Israel will fund the occupation :/
West Bank & Gaza pls :)
Ahmad Ehab Nobody do that you cheap fuck.
Ahmad Ehab Hamas is the devil and the propaganda they do got ya'll dumb fucks
Did you see the place where Otto took the painting?
Probably the only good thing about North Korea is that with the lack vehicles and heavy industry they are actually way ahead of every other country environmentally.
Im watching this at april 27, 2019. Haha
I watched it now!
What date is it today?
Day i got a dui :(
The Arch of Reunification was destroyed in January of this year. 😞
I from Syria l love you
Would love to visit your country :)
So many untold stories on people's faces. It would be great to hear more from them, but I realise that interviewing is quite a risky move to make in NK.
U should go to wales 🏴
the intro is always so cringe..🤐
How did you film the military man if it is not allowed?
Excellent!!
I know I mentioned this previously while watching this North Korean visit series, but one thing you have to find impressive with the absence of most all western civilization ideology is the cleanliness of the entire country and the lack of vandalism and crime. Using the terms loosely, Socialism or juche society isnt the most desired lifestyle but has benefits that todays western society lifestyle has taken advantage of with crime and vandalism. That being said, it is quite odd to not see all the things we are all used to seeing like fuel stations, fast food chains and all types of "stores" littering ever street and corner....odd yes, good or bad you decide.
Wouldn’t drink anything in North Korea that wasn’t sealed 😬
Are you coming to South Africa any time
maybe ;)
U tube : @
Being concerned about the irreversible destruction of DMZ which maintains an excellent ecological environment when we build new roads to expand peaceful exchanges on the Korean peninsula, It's needed to build super-long span bridges that cross the DMZ.
Is it true that creepy music is played in Pyongyang at 6:00 AM?
Has anyone ever told you that you sound just like Rami Malek?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. My favourite content on RUclips right now. Absolutely fascinating. Looking forward to seeing the train journey! Great work. Nick! 👍🏻
????
!!!!!!!!!!
Amen! I love your footage, Nick...
And FYI, you sure can work for History or Travel Channel. Thank you for showing the world how beautiful and horrible it can be. 🥰💙💛
I've enjoyed this series. I'm looking forward to see your North Korean haircut!
Haha stay tuned!
Get one like Kim Jung Un..hahaha
Something funny? RUclips: bumm bumm geil 😂
Indigo Traveller you'll never make this haircut do you? 😃
It has been thoroughly confirmed! Hotel carpeting is ugly the world over. No matter the culture or government, we all share this burden.
I agree. But i visited morocco last summer and they dont use carpet but gorgeous Moroccan tilles. All my pictures basically contain moroccan hotel floors and walls 😍
I love hotel carpeting haha is its so bright and soft and tacky
Irony , hyatt 😂😂😂😂
You won’t find carpeting in my country
Your Mom must worry about you! Stay safe!
Pamela Miller if he would say something wrong about North Korea and they are monitoring his Chanel and knows his name and how he looks he can be in serious troubles. I really don’t get why it’s worth risking your freedom even the little thing can put you in jail for life he is pretty popular too.
Happy Happy He does seem to be taking on a great deal of risk. Not sure this is worth it. Hope he is OK
Pamela Miller ... Yes it must ..
Lmaooo bunch of pussies in this post.
He gained access to the country legally and with authorization of the NK government. I highly doubt they would kill or imprison a popular e-celeb. Recently, NK has attempted to turn their image around. This would only damage it even further.

You should definitely visit South Korea some day and compare & contrast it with this trip.
Can you sub to my channel, I need 100 subs or I will lose $1,000. THX
Indigo Traveller June 6 was Memorial Day in S Korea and the 13th was election day. That would explain why the DMZ had no action on S Korea's side of the DMZ if you went the on those days. Sorry u couldn't cross the infamous border. That would have definitely been cool!
Indigo Traveller now you maybe Bangladesh bcz I see u today mermaid resort
Iris, Nick is not a travel agent. He is a customer of a travel agency.
It's actually really surprising, from your side we basically see a lot of NK soldiers at the DMZ and not a single SK. But when I actually visited the DMZ from the SK side it was the opposite, lot of SK soldiers and not a single NK one. Wonder how that actually really works.
Romain V I'm pretty sure he went there on the 6th, which was Memorial Day in S Korea. It would explain why the flags were at half mast and not many soldiers were around, especially after the peace talks and tour visiting agreements.
I think theres a day that SK soldiers will on duty and another day for NK Soldiers on duty
When I was there, on the SK side. The guide said that the SK soldiers is there when the tourists come on the south side. And that the NK soldiers when the tourist come on the north. So as far as I understand they switch according to nr of tours on each side everyday...
I was in July on the DMZ and we were filmed (when inside one of theblue building on the demarkation line) thouroughly by NK soldier .. very intrusively
Absolutely not
I was at the DMZ from South Korea a couple of years back but we weren't taken to the blue buildings though. We were taken to Dora Observatory where there were mounted binoculars to look over to the North side where we could see the propaganda villages and the giant flag. We were also brought down really deep into a tiny tunnel where you could see evidences of digging being done from the North side on the tunnel walls. And then we were brought to Dorasan Station that the South built so that trains can come and go the North but the station never operates since unification hasn't happen yet. But I got to buy tickets, had some faux visa stamps and got on the platform to wait around for a train that wouldn't arrive. Pretty cool visit though, would recommend.
I've been to the so-called blue room and the observation deck back in 1987. At the time, I was stationed at nearby Camp Casey.
I found this series by accident the other week and I binge watched them all. It's so interesting how life is in North Korea. I was adopted from South Korea when I was a baby. I'm almost 34 now. I don't even know if I'd ever be able to go there for any reason if I wanted it had the opportunity. Can't wait for the next part.
The fact no one is smiling in any of these blogs EXCEPT for the leaders in paintings speaks volumes
I think it was agreed on the treaty that South-Korea can't keep soldiers on their side openly watching over North-Korean side. That was what NK wanted or something.. But there was nothing about cameras - so the South-Korean side is full of cameras filming and securing the borderline and they (and allies) can be inside watching from those. They just can't hang outside and guard openly like North-Koreans can.
Probably from NK's side it's so their soldiers don't accidentally have chance to talk to the SK ones etc. Keeping the appearance. But same time.. It's kinda safer for everyone this way so there is no misunderstandings etc.
Right, makes sense. Thank you for the information!
I haven't seen any of photos or videos of DMZ where South Koreans stand in watch like North Koreans for awhile now. They do sometimes when there is people visiting as a tour from South Korean side.. But other than that.. It seems to be quite empty. (At least when people from NK visit and film and so on..)
So those pictures at JSA might be from the visiting days.
It doesn't mean that South-Koreans or especially UN isn't there.. They're, but they keep the distance.
Overall both sides just standing face to face all the time there seems to be real safety issue.
It might be that when UN and of course US got even more involved the NK insisted more that there isn't any.. Cause early 2000s there was soldiers face to face but now not so much. They do talk and make agreemends when need to.
Cameras are better yes - but that doesn't seem to be full reason.
True, when I visited NK side of DMZ they waren't there, they are never there when tourists from North side comes, they have some deal about that - our guide explaint that to us.
There do exist some tourist videos of the NK side where the South Korean guards are outside, and the tourists get to enter the blue buildings from the NK side. I will say this, it looks like the NK guards have upgraded their helmets at the DMZ now. ruclips.net/video/FRHojGilg30/видео.html go to 9:24 of this video to see them enter the blue building from the NK side, and you'll also see the old helmets the NK guards wore before. No SK guards though in this one.
I live in S Korea and have been to the DMZ (last year in fact). They always have soldiers posted on the other side, however June 6 was Memorial Day and the 13th was election day here in S Korea, so it's possible that could be one reason why they couldn't be seen. I have a feeling it was memorial day as the flag was at half mast. Also, as Snezana said ^^^^ I believe there is an agreement that they will not be there at certain times.
Also, after the recent peace talks I'm not sure what the DMZ is like. I'm thinking of going back and seeing if anything has changed.
The simbolism of this monument is breaking my heart.
I remember standing in front of the "Brandenburger Tor" in East Berlin 30 years ago and then standing there 20 years later when the Berlin wall has fallen and only a thin line of pavement stones reminds of that wall and everything which it has done to all the families and friends, who has been seperated by it and all the lifes it has been taken during its existance.
Watching dokumentaries about North Korea brings back my feelings of my own past here in Germany and it always gives me goosebumps.
Actually, I've never traveled to the GDR, and I regretted it. So, even if my former Korean teacher "without a head" thinks it's stupid, it made me decide to visit North Korea. 🙂
I keep thinking he's saying, "We're going to the DMV" and I'm like fuck that IS a dangerous zone
Word is you never get out of there.
what's DMV?
@@hamsternuggetz did you get your ans. Then please tell me cause idk as well
Department of Motor Vehicle
12:26 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND that North Korean’s going to a prison camp
That could of been a test to see if he would talk against NK or give information he was told not to? just a thought
12:26 is him talking on his hotel balcony. What are you talking about?
@@MrMakoto2 Listen carefully to what he is saying. He is talking about the guard that greeted them at the Joint Security Area. He asked an interesting question that could potentially get him or Nick in trouble. Definitely a weird question he asked.
🤧
Yup that sounds about right, a North Korean asking for news about the outside world seems like something that could win you a one way trip to a wet room.
Omg I’m Going too Miss ur Trip to North Korea I was Enjoying watching ur journey. Wow didn’t know was that beautiful out there
Cheers, more to come yet!
although they are only showing what they want to show to the tourist ,it is beautiful. it’s a shame how we can’t know what the rest of the country looks like or how society really is. still really enjoying this journey! very eye opening
Christine H You don't know bad stuff about California too. 😊
terex- I assume and hope you moved out of the 'horrible' USA, what country did you flee too?
Bessie Funk if The Dumb President goes Too Far that I Will Go Too Canada
music is on point in the video!
Excellent video, I’m going to be sad when your North Korea video series ends because it has been extremely informative and enlightening.
Appreciate that! There will be much more to come from other countries though!
explosivesdude and propagandist
"De-Militarized Zone" - Full of military. I know there's probably an explanation but that was my first thought lol
you speak without knowing what the words you say mean, you are an npc.
Kudos to you for being so smart with what you’re saying 👍
It wasn't too smart to drop that soldier in it for asking about news, even showed his face on film. Dude probably got a talking to of some kind for that.
he propably got a soldier killed
@@bentaklause9755 "a talking to"
christ, i can tell how white you are.
Was it June 6th? Cause then it was Memorial Day and that's why the flag was half mast..
What is kinda weird say for North-Korea to have the tour to the border.
I know he said half mast but it’s half staff. No ship in sight.
I've really enjoyed this series! And based on older videos I've seen from tourists going to North Korea it seems like they've expanded places they take you to visit, such as more cities outside Pyongyang and whatnot. It shows the country may be relaxing slightly... very slightly! Peaceful reunification with South Korea would be absolutely incredible to see in our lifetimes, but I think it has a long way to go before that can even become a possibility. North Korean locals seem lovely, at least... I really do hope for a better future for them.
I would feel terrible going to a country like North Korea and eating those kinds of meals, because I know I would probably be eating in one meal what maybe twenty North Koreans won't eat in a week. I'd feel like I was indirectly stealing their food.
7:39 No one gonna mention North Korea’s collection of aliens in jars?
Facehuggers
Put on the list: South Korea visit! I’d love to see your experiences there. This docu series is so fascinating! 🙏🏼✌🏼💗
the country honestly looks really beautiful. and seeing people walking around getting on with there everyday life is weird because especially of North Korea you don't see much film footage of that thats what im really enjoying this series because its interesting to see the country and the skyscrapers and stuff like that but then also you have filmed people causally walking and talking and smiling as well which as we hear from what happens with North Korea thinking its all LAW AND ORDER (in most ways it is) but i think you know what i mean its nice to see a different side than war and nukes and military or something like that
Another fantastic vid. Not sure what a united Korea would look like. The South is so advanced compared to the North and who's political system would the united Korea follow? You also have the added fact that the South would inherit a very large brain washed and traumatized, confused population from the North. I'm not so sure the regime in North Korea really wants a United Korea, it would kill off their own cult personality and ideology that they so much crave. I think for the North Korean regime it's a case of, (be careful for what you wish for)
Loving your work homie!
8:15 honking was staged so the city would look busy
Sadly, after the NK government watched this, that guard was taken in for questioning because he wanted the news. Probably got killed or was sent to be reeducated 😞
I knew it! I was so mad he said that
How do you know the hard way taken off?
I remember Yeonmi park telling the story about the DMZ border. She said that NK made a skit to make NKeans laugh, and they depict how the NK officer is opening a can of food, and the SK guards are looking at them with starving eyes, and the NK soldiers keep opening more cans of food and eating.. and everyone laughed…
And of course everyone knew things were the opposite of what they showed, but no one was allowed to say anything…
Hey Nick, I was curious, haven't your trips became less attractive to you since you always have to film it, edit it and so on? Or maybe it just got even more attractive?
11:05 Is That AUDI??!!!!
Yes, its copied
I've heard they check your camera's memory when you leave..... did you find anything like that?
I swear North Korean Girls are even more pretty than South Korean girls because they don't bleach their faces and get plastic surgery. For real though, some of the girls were really beautiful.
Agreed!
I would be giving a standing ovation at the private concert
Yeah but there’re probably half dead and severely depressed because of their stupid leadership
The editing quality is really amazing, you should come to Venezuela I’m sure you could get great great footage. If you do come please make sure to hire good security
Fun drinking game: take a shot every time he comments on the roads being rough.
They looked fine
