Ebook About “You remember Eat, Pray, Love and Under the Tuscan Sun? Yeah, this really isn’t like those. It’s better” (San Francisco Chronicle). Most people want out of North Korea. Wendy Simmons wanted in. In My Holiday in North Korea: The Funniest/Worst Place on Earth, Wendy shares a glimpse of North Korea as it’s never been seen before. Even though it’s the scariest place on Earth, somehow Wendy forgot to check her sense of humor at the border. But Wendy’s initial amusement and bewilderment soon turned to frustration and growing paranoia. Before long, she learned the essential conundrum of “tourism” in North Korea: Travel is truly a love affair. But, just like love, it’s a two-way street. And North Korea deprives you of all this. They want you to fall in love with the singular vision of the country they’re willing to show you and nothing more. Through poignant, laugh-out-loud essays and ninety-two never-before-published color photographs of North Korea, Wendy chronicles one of the strangest vacations ever. Along the way, she bares all while undergoing an inner journey as convoluted as the country itself. “Much of the humor and poignancy comes from the absurdity of a fun-loving free spirit taking a vacation that’s more rigidly scripted and controlled than a presidential motorcade . . . Simmons’ photos—including an eerie image of a classroom full of schoolgirls playing accordions—further illustrate the bizarre nature of a country that, whether for good or bad, has been carefully controlled for generations.” —San Francisco Chronicle “An irresistible read . . . A rare and fascinating look at the tourist’s North Korea in a work that is humorous, appalling, and very sad. A highly recommended and revealing glimpse into a secretive land.” —Library JournalBook My Holiday in North Korea: The Funniest/Worst Place on Earth Review :
Having lived in Asia more than a decade, and being married to a Korean, I was hoping for something funny, but a lot more respectful. The author is absolutely disrespectful to her handlers, mocking North Korea, it's culture, and the fact that the North Korean people have no ability to do anything about it. At the end of the book, the author talks about how she is so much more empathetic than most people, and so much more able to intuit what's going on in situations, but throughout the book she displayed her inability to understand Korean culture and was utterly disrespectful and unemphatic towards the flight of her driver and the handlers. Asians will quickly overlook a small offense. And the author wonders why the driver won't forgive her. The slap she gives the driver at the end, was obviously the straw that broke the camel's back. I would not have had as much patience for the author, as did this poor driver.Despite the fact that she has supposedly traveled to so many countries, she obviously doesn't understand Asian societies. Never would anyone ask disrespectful questions or questions which might shame the people out their culture, yet this is what she does repeatedly throughout her 10 day trip. So much so, that her driver refused to even acknowledge her when she left. She talks about the"playful" banter they shared, but this"playful banter"doesn't exist in most Asian societies. Instead, she continuously caused her driver to lose face in front of his co-workers. No wonder he wouldn't even acknowledge her when she left. She also says how he refused to hug her--- a simple thing she would have understood, most Asians don't hug, especially Koreans and especially not with friends, let alone acquaintances!!!Despite painting herself as a fine Jewish woman, practically every page had the F word, or something along those lines. The book should be marked as having explicit language.She says she intuitively "gets" what's happening, faster than her friends, but it's obvious, to someone understanding Asian culture, that she had no idea what was going on, most of her trip. Throughout the book you see her drawing quick inferences about what's happening, and then proceeds too judge these poor repressed people ruthlessly. She was obviously dealing with culture stress, and taking it out on her handlers and the driver. Her handlers we're giving her clues as to what they "had to tell her," yet she continues to mock then incessantly. She points out to them everything that's wrong about their country. Then she wonders why they are rude with her. In other cases she talks about interactions with sales people, or other situations and she's equally blind to the cultural aspect.I was absolutely furious with this woman, who gave Americans a terribly bad name, towards the end of the book. Trips to North Korea are very unusual. Even the famous Vice magazine was unable to get there through normal diplomatic channels (ended up bribing the Chinese). The story author, rather than give a look into a closed society, makes pointless quip after quip. For example:"I remember thinking it was more time than a typical American vacation but less than the twelve to fifteen weeks before puppies are fully vaccinated and finally allowed to go to the dog park to play."If you want a travelogue with nonsense like the above, filled with snark and sarcasm where its impossible to tell what actually happened, and think the above statement is clever, buy this book. Otherwise, avoid is, because the writer is more concerned with interjecting her nonsense than actually telling story.
