Chongjin, North Korea
Why visit Chongjin? The city itself boasts of great diversity with people from all part of the world. Here lives North Koreans from Japan, North Koreans from China, and even North Koreans from South Korea! The diversity doesn’t stop there though! We also have a very diverse class system. All those North Koreans listed above are in the lower classes! Take Mi-ran and Jun-Sang's families for instance. Since Mi-Ran's father fought on the South Korean side of the Korean War, her family is stuck being in the hostile class because North Koreans cannot trust any South Korean enemies. Similarly, since Jun-Sang's family is from Japan, they can only climb the social ladder so much. However, North Korean born citizens have a good chance of making it higher as long as they act accordingly. There is so much diversity in North Korea that there is no reason for you to travel anywhere else since Chongjin has it all. Also, this city boasts of a great cuisine. From foods made from weeds to meat from dogs and frogs, your taste buds will be exquisitely intrigued by the extraordinary flavors. In addition, it is a must to try Mrs. Song's famous cookies only available in Chongjin. She gets up at 5am every morning to gather the freshest ingredients. There are also many activities available in the city. According to Jun-Sang, kids are always singing praises in train stations. From singing North Korean songs with them to visiting Kim Il- Sung’s statue to reading his books, you will not be bored! Sign up today for a vacation just meant for tourists like you.
