I was not paid by any company or government to make this video
I do not condone support or promote the regime of North Korea in any manner whatsoever. Please do your own research
North Korea North Korea the propaganda
Kim jong-un his regime Human Rights prison camps for ballistic missile otto warmbier. It was a moment for the history books
I am NOT a journalist
I'm just some kid with a consumer camera who was lucky enough to gain access into the most isolated
And controlled country in the world. This video series is a product of that

Spanish: 
No me pago ninguna compañia o gobierno para hacer este video
De ninguna manera lo hago para apoyar o promover el régimen de Corea del Norte
Por favor haz tu propia investigacion
No soy un periodista
Solo soy un niño con una cámara que tuvo la suficiente suerte para tener acceso al país mas aislado y controlado del mundo

English: 
So just a quick disclaimer before we get into the video
This video is obviously from the perspective of a tourist in the country of North Korea. It is not any
Representation of what the locals actually spend because I have no access to the information
So this is from the perspective of me on an organized tour in North Korea
Take it for what it is and hope you enjoy the video guys
All right guys, so coming to you from a beautiful tropical location in Asia
But that's not the subject of today's topic. Today's topic is how expensive is North Korea
I have some North Korean wan on me locals are only allowed to
Spend this currency at the supermarket in Pyongyang at a specified
Supermarket. Otherwise you have to use US dollars euros or Chinese yuan this money is hardly
Available for tourists. You're not actually
Legally technically allowed to take it out of the country

Spanish: 
Este es solo una pausa rápida antes que comience el video
Obviamente este videos es desde la perspectiva de un turista en Corea del Norte
No es una representación sobre lo que los coreanos gastan ya que no tengo acceso a tal información
Así que esto es desde la perspectiva que me dio mi tour turístico organizado en Corea del Norte, así que disfruta del video
Bueno chicos, estoy en una hermosa zona tropical de Asia, pero ese no es el tema del hoy
El tema de hoy es que tan caro puede ser Corea del Norte
Tengo un billete de Corea del Norte
Los lugareños solo pueden gastar este dinero en un supermercado de  Pyongyang
Tiene que ser en un supermercado en especifico ya que de lo contrario tienen que usar dólares estadounidenses, Euros o Yuan chino
Este billete no lo pueden utilizar los turistas, en realidad no es legal sacarlo del pais

English: 
But I managed to get myself some so this is a note for five thousand yuan
And I believe that this is maybe around fifty US cents worth. So yeah, it's not worth that much
anyway
So before we go into the actual prices of maybe inside the country and things first you want to know how to get there
Right, so it's actually a lot easier to go to North Korea. Then a lot of you may think currently I believe
Americans cannot go people from the USA and that is not a ban from North Korea
That's a ban from the USA government. The USA government have been a travel plan for u.s
Citizens going to North Korea for reasons of one American young man going through a very hard and terrible time
But I won't go into the details of that
I'm sure you already know his name was otto warmbier if you want to look it up
But any other nationality is allowed to go apart from South Koreans any other nationality in the world can join one of these tours
Basically, you can look it up on the internet what tour group you want to go to. I know there's a few different ones

Spanish: 
Pero me las arregle para conseguir este billete de cinco mil yuanes que creo que vale unos 50 centavos estadounidenses
Así que no valió tanto la pena
Así que antes de saber los precios que realmente tiene el país, lo primero que deben sabes es como llegar al país
En realidad, es muy fácil ir a Corea del Norte
Pero ustedes deben pensar que los estadounidenses no pueden visitar Corea del Norte
Pero deben saber que no es una prohibición norcoreana, si no que es del gobierno de los Estados Unidos
Estados Unidos hizo esto por algo muy duro y terrible que le sucedió a un joven estadounidense en Corea del Norte, pero no entrare en detalles
Si quieres investigar su nombre era Otto Warmbier
Tampoco pueden los surcoreanos, pero cualquier otra nacionalidad esta permitida y puede unirse a estos recorridos
Básicamente debes buscar en internet a que grupo de tour quieres unirte

English: 
I had hundreds of questions asking what tour group did I use so early no now I'm not in
Affiliate with this company at all
But I was really happy with the tour and how I was treated and the value for money as well
So I went with Koryo tours, which I believe is the biggest company that goes there
There's also another few other ones that you can see and compare prices and packages and things that I went with that company
I would recommend using them again not sponsored not being paid by anyone
So the tour cost me I didn't eight-day tour. We went to the coasts
We went down to the DMZ and we went into the mountains
We went to of course Pyongyang and then I left by train and including the flights there and getting the train out it cost me
1,500 euros I believe and then there's an extra bit for insurance and an extra bit for tips and then
expenses if you want to buy things there, so if you're looking at around
2000 euros to be safe. All the tours are advertised in Euros
They're not actually advertised in US dollars, which is another interesting fact. So you're looking at about

English: 
2000 euros roughly give or take so that's maybe around two thousand three hundred US dollars
For an eight-day trip totally worth it in my opinion
I mean it was an unbelievable trip as you've known if you've watched my previous videos
so that's how much the whole tour cost and that's worth three meals a day be here with your lunch and your dinner if you
Want if you want to buy water
I think at the last hotel we stayed and I paid like two euros for like twelve bottles or something
I you get the picture of water is really affordable
If you want to buy the beer after dinner or you know before dinner
I think it's one to two euros a beer-ish give or take maybe less. That's really affordable
Anyway, we went into the supermarket whilst we were there and we exchanged some what they call hard currency
Which is the USD, the Euro and the Chinese currency. You exchange that for the local money.
They give it to you you go into the supermarket. I think I exchanged about 10 euros worth maybe went into the supermarket
I was like
I better be like careful because I don't want to get to the counter and not have enough local currency to buy this
I have bought like a whole

English: 
crate of water and like five bags of peanuts a few other like treats and some presents to take back home like
Bottle of North Korean spirits and I get to the counter. I only have to spend half the money
So that was all like five euros I go in exchange the rest of the money back into the hard currency
I've been to a lot of really cheap countries and we went to a supermarket that apparently the locals went to you know
I can't say that is true. I can't say it's not true
You can decide that yourself as I've read in the comments, a lot of you have already decided. That's the cheapest country
I've been to that supermarket was the cheapest supermarket
I've been to so far in the world. As for like souvenirs and things you can buy like really cool posters and they're
Hand-painted posters they cost like 30 euros
So they're a bit more on the pricey side, but totally worth it to get some memorabilia like that. You can also buy like
Newspapers I think they cost like a dollar 50
Maybe I'm not sure you can buy postcards for like 15 cents reasonably priced compared to other places and considering its North Korean
souvenirs
I mean

English: 
they're priceless in my opinion. You can get away with just paying the tour price because that includes your
Transportation there and back. I mean I got the plane there, and the train back
You have to organize your own Chinese visas and things obviously
But they're not too hard
If you're getting the visa on arrival just make sure you've got everything
That you need for that visa because the Chinese visa otherwise is quite a complex procedure
I
managed to get it in the ends because you need to actually get the Chinese visa and your passport if you want to get the
Train and to North Korea from China and that's what I did and that was another incredible trip
But yeah guys that pretty much sums up the prices
I think I think the tour companies like screen you quickly, but you know
If you're from most countries, you can get into North Korea and it's not that difficult
It's not really that knowing that you can go as a tourists, but I think the numbers are increasing
I'm not sure but I think I saw some big like resort looking buildings being built out on the
coast when we're in the coastal city
So you never know maybe in the future North Korea is gonna be one of the main tourist resorts

English: 
Maybe not, you can't know these things. I am doing one more video on North Korea guys after this one
It's going to be about just questions that you guys have
Like I said in the last video leave your questions under this photo here on my Instagram
You still got a few more days to get your questions and if you've got any more on prices that I may have missed drop
Any North Korea related questions
Underneath that photo for my Instagram and I will take out the ones that I think offer you guys the viewers the most try get
creative guys because there's a lot of questions that are all kind of similar like, you know was I scared
I mean, they're good and things but I've seen them like a hundred times
So try and come up with something a bit different than was I scared or did I feel like I was being watched I will
Answer those questions, but they've already been asked like a hundred times
so come up with something creative and maybe something on the positive side of
The country of what I liked about it and things then
It would be nice - alright guys that about covers it the prices
Those are the main questions that I was being answered the main expenses, I think but yeah
The tour includes everything that you need apart from you have to buy your own bottled water

English: 
You do get free water at lunches and breakfasts and dinners
but you know when you're on the road and things in the bus, everything else is included, so
1500 euros give or take depending on what tool you do. You can go for a short amount of time
I think eight days though is the maximum. Maybe they do longer. I don't know
I got the maximum one that I could find at the time in terms of the duration of the stay
Otherwise, I think that covers everything guys if I've missed anything
like I said drop your questions underneath that photo on my Instagram and I'll answer them in the next video and in case I don't
See you good afternoon and good evening and good night. And thank you so much for watching
