Today on Viceland we've got the final part of Inside Pyongyang, which documents our recent trip to North Korea. Brainwashed by a batty dictator into thinking the rest of the world envies their way of life, the country is easy to ridicule. But don't let the laughs let you lose sight of the fact that up to 3 million people have starved to death there in the last 10 years. It's one of the most fucked up countries in the world - read about how we wangled our way in.
Your story is very interesting! Thanks for raishng it. ^_^ I myself am half Hong Kong Chinese, half mixed of German, English, Irish, French, and Swiss, and my niece (my sister's daughter) is like you, 1/4 asian and all those nationalities PLUS more! She has blue eyes and light reddish brown hair, and though she doesn't LOOK very asian, she really embraces her asian side and is proud of it. She hasn't had the chance to experience Asia, yet though. I hope she can go there someday That's awesome that you can speak Korean! Is it your first language? Or is English your first language? Or French? hehe XD

Wow, it's very rare you see North Koreans outside of NK. You prob don't rmebeemr too much since you were only there until 7. To be born in North Korea and end up living in Europe that's definitely rare. Does your mother speak of it often? It's a fascinating place considering how isolated it tries to be. Then again I'm in the United States and there are NO North Koreans here at all (at least that I've met).
