People like to talk about them selves, ask someone where they're from, what job they do, there hobbies and most importantly show you're genuinely interested in what they do by actively listening and and asking follow up questions, don't judge then if they're hobbies are something you aren't interested in

@Billy Ek Comparing North Koreans and the Chinese is like comparing the French to Germans, or the French to the English. They're each Caucasion but are still from different countries and have language and culture differences. Same with Chinese and North Koreans both being of Asian race appearance-wise but having notable culture differences being from 2 different countries, and language differences.
I live in China and speak fluent Chinese, so: 1. The Chinese lady on the train did not say your Chinese was good. She said "I teach you Chinese, you teach me English" (you replied "thank you", haha). 2. Chicken feet are quite popular in China. Depending on preparation, I'd say they can be quite enjoyable. From my perspective, your reaction seemed a bit rude towards the culture. Sure you didn't mean to. Welcome to Shenzhen 😊

Simon: *Gets mugged and brutally beaten on the streets of Pyongyang* Simon:"What an absolutely lovely guy! He's gone out of his way there for me. He didn't have to do that. Really appreciate that.
After watching previous North Korea vlogs from other youtubers, I’ve never seen it in this perspective! All cause of you Simon, it feels more real when you take us. Other youtubers feel like they can’t enjoy it
Simon you are a massive inspiration! Fastest I have ever clicked on an amazing video

This is such a great channel literally so glad I found it last year. Simon Wilson is literally the best, what a guy.
I've been on a 14 hour flight so yes, I can imagine being sat for 14 hours!
Traveling to what’s known as a forbidden place, and randomly meeting a subscriber to hang out with along the way. That looked great. It’s not always the destination but ho you get there!
Yes, been looking forward to this!
