Yes, North Korea, Sorry that I didn't point that out. My supreme leader might launch a missle at me If I'm not too careful. ALL HAIL KIM JONG-UN.

I let out a chuckle  :P Do they even let people visit North Korea anyway?  ??? Genuinely curious.


...in topic, I've never been, but I'm slowly planning a trip! I don't have the opportunity right now, but I'm making a list of places I want to visit and special events I want to attend.

I really want to go visit the country at least once, for its landmarks, culture, and of course getting exclusive japanese games for cheaper prices. At this point though, it looks like my brother is going to visit the country in 2016, so he's probably going to get to experience the country before me.

I kid I kid I was in South Korea. I was in S.Korea because that is home country.

I'm pretty sure visiting N.Korea is very strict. Even going for a Documentary in there is hard enough but visiting for any other reason except political should close to impossible.

I'm a seaman (ETO) and I was in Japan ten times or more. I also visited South Korea many times. They are very nice countries.

When I graduated college I had the chance to go for two weeks or get $5000. I chose the money instead. While I do not regret my decision, I really wish I had gone to Japan. I will someday, but probably not for a long while :/

$5000 wasn't a bad option.  You could probably do Japan for two weeks for about $2k-3k, if not less, depending on time of year and where you would be leaving from.

Has anyone here taken Japanese lessons, maybe online or through a program? I was considering looking for physical classes, but being in Florida, there isn't a lot of demand for that and can't seem to find any classes lol

Nope never been out of the country ever, although I have seen and pointed at Canada from Detroit. But one day I do want to go to Japan, and see how far back I can trace that side of my family.

There are like vacations to N-Korea where you visit some statues and see a military parade.
You are even forced by law when you are a tourist to kneel at a statue of kim jong un and place flowers

I'm doing this but haven't been keeping up with it.  I've been using WaniKani and Textfugu.  They're both paid services but offer trial runs to see if you like the format before investing any money.

Been to China once before, but never Japan.

I would love to go to the mountains there though, the country is really pretty.
