He's never going to be able to talk "freely" about his experience there, it would put his own safety at risk and would damage the reputation of the organisation which allowed him to go to North Korea, which would then damage relations with the country.

Just a thought, would you expect discussion of this if he travelled to any other country? North Korea DOES have incredibly severe human rights violations, just like many other countries do. If he took a trip to the US, would you be asking him to talk about Guantanamo Bay? Most likely not... My point is that travel vlogs don't always have to be political. If he wants to make it political then it's entirely his choice. I see this more as showcasing whatever you will see (or in this case, be allowed to see) if you choose to travel to destination X. There is no way Louis saw ANY human rights violations for himself, so what can he say that hasn't already been reiterated by mainstream media? Louis isn't Yeon-Mi Park, there isn't anything more insightful he can offer about the human rights abuses because he isn't allowed to see them for himself.

I can understand your trying to be positive but all these tours you're going on are organised by the NK government and they're not going to show you the rape, murder, violence and oppression that people face on a day to day basis. These videos are essentially North Korean propaganda. I wish you could have handled this better. All the best for the future.

If you are American, don't visit North Korea. It's that simple.

As much as I love the fact that Louis wants to present a more positive image of North Korea, what we are all watching is an incredibly sanitised, carefully monitored version of the country. It makes sense that Louis is not mentioning the issues and the politics of the DPRK, even after having returned, but it's important to stay aware of its inherent lack of economic and social parity, and many human rights abuses. Would love to see a video in which this is mentioned, even just to acknowledge it, given that he is now back. That said, fascinating video and top quality content as per. :) EDIT: having watched the outro, I kind of get the message Louis wants to put out here, respect.

It's really infuriating how everyone is commenting saying Louis' being dumb. He obviously knows that not all of North Korea is like that but he's a positive person and he wants to have a good time. I'm sure he's seen stuff that's upsetting there but he can't film it or he'll be punished

Beyond the Tourism? You're nothing else than a tourist Louis ... Everyone else can book a trip through NK like the trip you're doing there.

While I am really enjoying these N. Korea vlogs, and the country and people are very lovely and kind. I do want us to remember how bad it is there, I understand Louis is only showing the positive (and even if he wanted to show anything else he wouldn't be allowed) please try and keep in mind they are being shown the best of the best so that we think of N. Korea in a better light than what is actually going on in the country. This isn't an attack on Louis, but just a reminder that this isn't what the place is like if you live there.

jpjavip The DPRK is backed in by dozens of US military bases stationed on South Korean soil and more in Japan, has had atrocities such as the Sinchon Massacre by the United states committed to it, and has had foreign journalists make up lies such as the 'Jong-un's uncle executed by pack of 120 dogs'. North Korean healthcare, supermarkets, and schooling is publicly owned, as well as farming alongside collectively owned farms, and the country was experiencing higher growth than the South up to 1976 when it along with the whole Eastern Bloc experienced a steady decline. The Eastern Bloc's collapse led with no surprise to a famine in the country which killed many and whose effects still persist to this day. The US has nearly 800 military bases in 70 different foreign countries, is founded on a massacred Native population which are still persecuted today and go unnoticed by the American media, and has executed 1,400 people since just 1976, not to mention the dozens of dictatorships it supported and supports in the rest of the Americas (Batista, the Argentine last junta, Somoza family, Pinochet) and the world, not to mention the South Korean dictators Park Chung-hee and Chun Doo-hwan. It also has invaded Iraq installing a US-friendly government and is intervening in Syria to support the Islamist rebels of the Syrian Opposition, which includes the Islamic Front, Al-Nusra Front, Ahrar al-Sham, Turkistan Islamic Party in Syria, Jabhat Ansar al-Din and Jund al Aqsa, among others.

Everybody saying about how he should feel guilty. People go to Africa and live lavishly, nobody batts an eye.

You have to admit, their natural scenery and environment (that lake, the forests, the beach, etc.) are gorgeous

Literally *every* other travel documentary I've seen of North Korea included that beach. Travel laws for North Koreans are extremely strict, quite often it is illegal for them to even travel to another city within NK. If you invite them to London, they may come, but they'll not survive a day back in NK.

Yes Louis! come to the Philippines next!

There are blogs as well it's always the same. It's very structured and eerily the same. That's why I don't get the whole "Beyond" thing or the there is nothing negative about N. Korea mindset they seem to have. If N. Korea were truly okay they wouldn't restrict travel like this. I'm more apt to believe defector stories, but that's just me and not all those stories are splashed on the front of CNN.

6:29 Baths are old Japanese-style like, so the place provides both heated water and cold water for them to use..... Still decides not to use it and not to shower for a week. Well done people, too used to your normal average shower aren't you?

They aren't really spoiled, they're not used to that culture and also that kind of shower is completely different from what people around the world have. As well as the fact that they would put money into the trip, they should get their money's worth. So it really isn't spoiled, it's just a weird set up, you should consider it not beong a big deal whatsoever.

The bit where there's no running water - that's standard for most of the country. The taps and showers there are literally just for show. The parts you visited are designed meticulously to appease tourists. To make it appear as if the vast majority of the country isn't starving. Man, I used to know you years ago (Used to be one of Nick's mates.), and it pains me to see you selling out like this. You're not even addressing the insane level of human rights abuses - including imprisoning entire families and sending them to work camps if one person speaks out against their government, or the fact that watching any films, listening to any music, speaking to anyone outside of the NK borders, that's not verified by the government can and WILL get you executed. Hell, they even have a three generation punishment inheritance policy, meaning if you do or say anything against the government, it's not only you that can be executed, but your children AND grandchildren. I get you're most likely trying to show that there're good parts in NK, but the fact is, those good parts are fabricated JUST to dupe tourists. There's not even a disclaimer that you're fully aware of the atrocities that the NK government commits on a day-to-day basis. You can't pretend they don't happen, man. It's an absolutely disgusting regime and you really shouldn't be promoting it like this - especially not without even acknowledging that absolute brutal and inhumane dictatorship the Kim Jong dynasty has imposed.

I'm so glad we got to see the Arch Of Unification. There's such a terrible shortage of monuments in Nth Korea. 'Amazing and symbolic!' Sounding a bit flaky there Louis. See that the frat boy is working hard at wooing the nerdy tour guide with rap. Actually the hot and cold water supply in the rooms was the highlight for me. Unique and actually real for a change. As was the notion of swimming next to a military area. The minders obviously hadn't had time to fake out the area.

All that food...probably more than an entire NK family would get a week. They're starving and here you are enjoying a buffet, hope it tastes like guilt.

'Small minded'. Just read the reports from the human rights commission, or the horrific and heinous details of the stories told by those who have fled. There's a reason these vlogs have hit a certain nerve, North Korea is under a dictatorship where it's people are being raped figuratively and literally by its fascist and theocratic government.

Yeah, but Pyeonghwa is the only company in the country that advertises. There are a few billboards in Pyongyang. And they build less than 1000 cars a year. I'm not saying they could not (even though DPRK restricts private car ownage) buy a car, but when you are not party member or military it is very very unlikely to be able to afford a car and obtain a licence to buy/own one.

Tourists in North Korea DO visit beaches as well. They even have beach resorts that foreign tourists can visit. They also have a skiing resort and I know some people from my country went there to teach North Koreans how to ski. You can also do a home stay there.

Loving all the videos but you can definitely tell that louis is having to watch what he's says all the time he's vloging, and it's just becoming another one of these things that the country will do to try and make themselves look good, LOUIS THERE USING YOU!!

I don't think North Koreans are allowed to book an international return ticket. Even traveling between cities in their own country has to be with permission...

The bathroom situation does not seem broken or anything. in fact i think they're using a system similar to japanese bathroom water systems where the sink, bathtub, toilet (and sometimes washing machine) use the same bits of water for their uses to conserve water. aka wash hands, water goes to bathtub then goes to toilet and then flushes down the drain. i highly doubt there'd be no running water in a tourist area because i'm sure there'd be strict regulations about customer service. not to mention you're a foreigner in north korea, i highly doubt they'd send you to a defective tourist area. anyway, the bathing system is that you're supposed to wash yourself outside of the bathtub using that other smaller bucket/pail thing. scrub yourself down and wash your hair then rinse everything off then soak in the bathtub and then once you're down soaking, you rinse off again and then head out. yes, it's VERY different from the western ways. there's usually a drain in the bathroom floor and there's no separate small cubicle for showers. sometimes the toilets would be squat toilets which are just holes in the ground.

I just found it really funny how you guys were so surprised with the bathroom situation, and I kept thinking "Oh how lucky they are, growing up in a first world country". I had to shower multiple times just with a bucket of water because we did not have running water and being completely normal for everyone here. Im really looking forward to the final thoughts of Louis after this trip :)

It seems like people don't understand the fact that he can't say and show or mention certain things while he's there. He's showing us what they're showing him. Maybe he'll make another video explaining the other side of NK after he's uploaded all the vlogs. Jeez. Use your noggins a little guys.

Can someone take all the clips of miss kim and lane and put them in one video?

Do you really think North Koreans are going to be chilling at the beach enjoying their time? lmao

The problem with this is that you're NOT going beyond the tourism. You're still only seeing what the government wants you to see. You know this but you still take the easy way out. I sure hope that IF you get out of there you are able to say your true thoughts on the country.

As someone who is incredibly interested in North Korea and the conflict between both sides of Korea, I am hoping that you could do a video after the vlogs about what happened when the camera was turned off.

I get that he's trying to focus on the good of the country, but he's praising a country with years of human rights abuses and prison camps. It's not the media's fault. This country actually is horrible

song name i cant find it on souncloud

No doubt North Korea is a beautiful place. However, after watching most of these videos; this series can be seen as - at best - naive by not addressing the human right's violations or the corruption at the top of the country or the anti-western logic that dictates how NK responds to each and every news story. Alternatively, this series can be seen as - at worse - propaganda for North Korea's regime. Especially when a lot of young people watch your videos

Awesome vlog. Very cool to see a bit more of this country :)

I noticed a lot of people are complaining that he's only showing one side of North Korea which is all the tourist destinations. Please understand that it is a privilege to be able to record in the first place and in order for us to be able to watch his vlogs he has to be very cautious with his words and actions. It may potentially be dangerous if he shows a negative side of the country.

Did you eat a hamburger made out of human flesh while you were there?

People are nice, but I kind of get the "Truman's show" vibe all the time.

Beyond the Tourism. While going on a government guided tour while publishing heavily scrutinized content, you made a fantastic choice. The title makes a lot sense.

The ocean water circulates clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere. At the equator all the ocean water moves westward. So, the water flowing by North Korea is coming from the Philppine Sea and the equator. This is also why the ocean off the coast of California is very cold. It's coming down from Alaska.
