A
nuclear weapon making, world war threatening, missile parading, stubborn country; this is the picture the international media has painted in our minds about
North Korea, but how true is this image? This is the question we will answer on
today’s episode of the stroll.
Welcome
to the STROLL, my name is Ebenezar. Today, I’d be shinning the spotlight on a country that has been in the
news for some time now because of her nuclear policy and the international
sanctions that have followed her. Contrary to what you see on TV, I’m not trying
to castigate North Korea rather I’m going to give you an exclusive tour of this
country through the eyes of a person who knows North Korea more than many of
us.
My
guest Mr. Joseph is a master mariner, photographer, North Korean guide with
Young Pioneer tours, and creator of the popular blog 'American in North Korea'. Having
visited North Korea countless times; he’s fully equipped with a robust
knowledge of the North Korean people and culture, and it’s that knowledge he’d
share with us on this stroll. This is not a journalism speculation, media hype,
or a politically motivated press report. This is, a stroll in North Korea. See for
yourself:
