Funny you mention the DPRK, because it was interesting seeing the reactions of libs in my life to mentioning my travel plans. I'd say that out of all the AES states, Vietnam raises the fewest eyebrows if you're going to travel there (except maybe Laos because most libs don't even know that one is communist). It doesn't really get propagandized against in the same way e.g. China does, so it's much less of an uphill battle to convince them it's a decent place.
I wouldn't at all be opposed to visiting the DPRK but it would definitely freak out everyone I know if I actually planned a trip there, lol
You could have stopped the sentence there
True for most communists too tbh
I actually have told people I know that I want to visit North Korea one day. Their reaction was about what you’d expect from Westerners.
