Visiting North Korea.
lenhamlad;
The answer to your question is yes. I recently visited North Korea, I went with an open mind and came away with much to think about. May I suggest you key into Google the letters KFA ( they stand for Korean Friendship Association ) and spend a few minutes reading their official web page. You don't have to take it all on board but it might help achieve a balance. I'm sure you will agree that knowledge is no load to carry.
O.P.
