Spend Christmas in North Korea?


It is now possible to spend Christmas vacation in NorthKorea. Believe it or not, a Chinese agency does provide the possibility to spend Christmas in North Korea. The agency is called Taedong Travel. They give people the chance for about 1000$ to travel from china on a train to Pyongyang. (It’s the capital city of North Korea). The trip consist of a five day and for nights in the totalitarian state.  The tourist will also have the chance to see Santa Claus. I believe people have to think twice before accepting and paying for this trip. We have to remember that North Korea is ranked as one of the most hostile countries in the world for Christmas time. We need to know that many Christian are arrested, tortured and even killed in North Korea because of their religion. Therefore, it might not be a great idea to spend Christmas over there. The article states that one Christian has been executed to passing out bibles in North Korea. It does not seem a great idea to spend your Christmas vacation into North Korea.
