    This gives me a sense of traveling into the stories that my parents would tell. North Korean life today is exactly the same as China during the Cultural Revolution where my parents grew up. The similarities are incredible. They definitely have more technology and style nowadays but the overall system and structure is the same. Even the song in the background sounds like the songs that my parents grew up listening to and singing...and I can sing them too because I've heard them so much and we sing them on karaoke all the time.

    To set the record straight, the Tu-204 is the only aircraft Air Koryo operates that is allowed into EU airspace as of 2021. Some of its flights are active occasionally to Kuala Lumpur. and Kuwait City. Scheduled services are only operated from Pyongyang to Beijing, Chongjin, Macau, Samjiyon, Shenyang, and Vladivostok; additional destinations not listed on their website but showing up elsewhere as charters or seasonal charter services are also included. There have been only two crashes since Air Koryo began in 1950 which resulted in the deaths of passangers on board, the other two resulted only in light damage to the aircraft.
