And see, this is the thing, North Koreans like to know people.

But I knew to convince the production company to send us back, it's already a high risk to send us in the first place.

To send us back later on would be an even higher risk.

So I knew if we should have anything to come home with, we had to push it a little forward.

So one day I'm talking to Kang, that is one of the agents following us around.

And before this conversation, it's important that people understand when you fly into North Korea, you fly into a black hole.

because your mobile phone stopped working.

You have no contact on the internet.

You have lost all contact to the outside world.

But with that information, I thought I could use it.

So I say to Kang, I say,

You know what?

I really love everything you have shown me.

I have had the best vacation in my life.

It's so amazing because they really, really did an effort to make me happy.

But I have to tell you, I'm not coming back.

This trip have cost me 200,000 euro.

Of course, this is a number I pull out of my ass, but it makes sense because if I had been Mr. James,

And if I had been fired, Mr. James had been five days in North Korea, he would have been on his computer talking to clients, answer phones, answer SMS and stuff like that.

And that costs money not to be able to do that.
