The following will be the first video in a series of vlogs I filmed while in North Korea. This the first video I posted on my YouTube Channel KingAhnTV about my first trip to North Korea in September 2019. I used all my precious entitled four weeks of annual leave that I saved up in order to make the trip! And so the journey began on September 2 from Auckland, New Zealand, where I reside.

My first destination was Seoul, South Korea, where I met my family and prepared for my trip up North. I stayed in Seoul until the 5th and then headed off to Beijing. Beijing airport was a disaster; however, I was able to tolerate a long dragging queue by quietly admiring a beautiful lady standing nearby.

I only stayed in Beijing for a day, and on the 6th I was on a plane to Pyongyang. I was surprised that there were a lot of Japanese going to North Korea. Perhaps, they are Korean descendants. In order to get to North Korea, it is a common route to go through China. From the moment I set my foot on Northern soil, I became the first South Korean born New Zealander to visit North Korea. Quite a profound moment!
