Reddit user Bjørn Christian Tørrissen recently posted photos from his visit to North Korea in 2014. 


Since his trip, North Korea has not allowed individual tourists to visit (besides Russians). Though Tørrissen was restricted in what he could capture due to the little access given to foreign visitors at the time, he was able to participate in North Korean government-mandated activities like skiing and bowling. He also saw a plethora of propaganda posters and captured a hotel gift shop only selling books authored by or praising the Kim regime.

    "Enough Pyongyang. We're going on a road trip. This is the kind of scenery we see a lot of. Villages with a few people around, surrounded by farmland."

    "Kaesong is a city many pass through on their way to the border to South Korea. It's not the cheeriest place, and not as polished as parts of Pyongyang are."
