MUST READ TO KNOW TRUTH… Okay herro everyboody today I finally is ready am tell u my story. I so scared so long I have nightmare . 31st October Halloween 2010… woooooooooo… I trick or treat all night long like a so fun you know. Everybody give me like a cake in the cup and sweets so nice. But not so nice was the next house … Me and my friend walk up this building saying “embassy” and I think that that was house owners name and there was a flag with one star… I wonder why 1 star ,they warn me this place was bad. We knock the door and fat man with funny haircut open door “I am a big Asian leader” he says… So I got excited because big people have loads of sweet in their house and I said “Trick or treats gimme my sweets” He replied “hehe, I like sweets, my sweetie” So creepy guy you know . Then OHHH MY GOD, someone put ski mask on my friends face and they grabbed and put me in front of them as they ran and took me inside the building. and I can feel fat belly flapping around as I was kidnapped. Suddenly I peek out of mask when they put me down in some confinement room and I see Asian leader belly dancing as if he celebrating something, like a someboooody so strange man. Then he look back and see me looking and he say “hehe you say trick or treat I trick you”. I not know what to do so I RUN but his belly so big that when I try leave I BOUNCED back and fell on big red Button which I later discovered sent 17 missiles to small villages in Vietnam. Then I so scared I ask him “where my friend why u keep me hostage” He said “ I ate him with rice hehe “ OHH my GOD like a somebooody he eat my friend. Then, however he change mind becos he feeling bad that he ate my frend and he gift me silver bracelet with chain that locked my hands together. He then took me downstairs where I saw loads of starving people singing the national anthem of some place called “North Korea”? Then he tell me “Do you want to go on a staycation?” OH WOW so nice Man u know haha he give me free holiday becos he feel bad maybe not so care anymore about eaten friend. “ so nice I love you please give me holiday” so he throw me by my bawsaq noodle into a steel room under a hole where there was a stained mattress and bucket with hole for toilet, WOW I feel like a so spoiled . I know he so nice man so he feel sad for his health and he wanted me to not be big like him so he didn’t feed me for weeks, wow so inspirational. Our friendship became a SOOO strong he fly me to his country called North Korea and sent me to a fun camp called “The Concentration Camp of North Korea”. Wow so many activities. Everyday we woke up at gunpoint because Big Asian man love me and want to discipline me like my dad. One day, however, it all changed. I started waking up earlier and working harder, then I never slept at all and developed North Korea unprovoked, I thought I was doing good but then big Asian man kidnapped me again… “Why you work so hard? Answer me” He stared interrogating me whilst 15 Asian soldiers shot me in my noodle. “Because I love North Korea “ They turned in discussion and say that I am not human . WHY?! the love I had for this kingdom all crush like my bawsaq when they shot it. Then suddenly I was released from being hypnotised ‍. OMG , the WHOLE TIME BIG ASIAN GUY HYPNOTISED ME‼‼ I realised I was hostage in their country and I don’t know what I do. Please help me I’m stuck. Someone please help.
Food was pretty good except they had mushrooms and I don’t like mushrooms. Also I think the pastries were made with sawdust instead of flour. Locked me in basement, not nice. 4/5 stars. If I could give zero stars I would!!!
they won't pick up my calls : but i still love them kim if you're reading this please allow me to visit i'd love to explore your country
I managed to get inside here during the art exhibition they put on a few years ago. Despite the atrocious nature of the North Korean regime, the embassy staff were friendly and even posed for a photo with me. The interior of the building is quite basic, but with some interesting artwork including a tapestry by the front door featuring big cats and wooden coving. A very interesting experience.
Kicked a ball into their backyard, friend lost rock paper scissors so he went over. However, when he didn't come back in 5 mins, I went and learned that we were capitalist pig-dogs who were playing the capitalist anti-Juche sport of football. They then took me into the house and left the two of us tied to a chair. They began beating us with metal poles while they asked us where we had been and who's government they worked for before Dennis Rodman walked in and said we should demonstrate our footy skills. We played so well that Kim-Il Sung's spirit possessed Dennis and congratulated us, taking us all the way to the Rungrado 1st of May Stadium in Pyongyang to play football for the North Korean team. The people of NK were very kind, to the point where I thought they were at gunpoint! However, that was anti-revolutionary thought so the guards blindfolded us and took us to a political prisoner camp in the mountains. Overall, after we were released from the camp we played some football when Kim Jong Un said that they were going to teach the capitalist unworthy about North Korean utopia, so they sent me back to London on a nuke. I'd say the food was good, however the service was not very good. I hear some knocking on the door, so this is the end of my rev
I just wanted to say going to this embassy was truly an experience. The moment I came in here, I was greeted with open arms. The people here made it feel like home and I even met Kim Jong Un the GOAT himself. I loved the DPRK and knew how glorious it was, but I was truly shown the true glory of North Korea. Learning the truth about North Korea was amazing as it is a utopia in reality, unfortunately Western media is doing everything in their power to brainwash people into believing it’s a prison. I’m considering going to the DPRK soon for a visit, the most democratic country in the world. I was gifted a DPRK flag, 3 nukes, and other North Korean items. I left this place satisfied with everything they offered here, I’ll be back soon. LONG LIVE THE DPRK!
Great food awesome people. Short man with weird haircut says he's the leader looked like the Asian version of the Pillsbury Dough Boy
Got a great Fade done here honestly can't recommend enough reasonable prices too.
very cool, very vibrant paintings on walls, the basement where they kept me was sanitised enough, the other guy they kept down there with me said he'd been there for years, and he loved how the chains felt against his wrists when he's hung upside down and forced to recite the North Korean anthem, would come again, fun place for first dates and family outings:
Not a bad visit, the lads showed me the hardware. Unfortunately I pushed a few buttons and the gift shop was vaporised.
