Who would want to go to N. Korea or China for that matter? Have a "helper" go around with you. Cuba is nice, would love to go again. Veitnam looks great, would go there over Korea any day

I would want to go for research purposes i think... But i've been on 'holiday' once in my life and i went to Iowa for 3months and was homeless, spending most of my time on drugs and booze, was fun but hardly a 'holiday'... And to be honest, when i've got a job and get some money, i wanna go somewhere nice, since America the most exotic place i've ever been is Blackpool haha
Laos. Just cause nobody's said it yet.
Cambodia. Because of the history.
Somalia-Seeing how this former 'communist' country turned into an 'anarcho'-capitalist country. Might be interesting to look at its history and contrast that with today. They replaced fake communism with fake anarchy.
Or how about Yemen, since it used to be divided into North and South Yemen.
they do have hotels, very nice ones at that. the country is much better developed than amerikkan propaganda would have you believe.
but doing it on the cheap I am sure that you could rent out a private room in somebodies house. Cubans are always looking to make some dollars on the black market. Also get out of Habana and things get super cheap. In the capital expect to pay first world prices.
I'm in ex-"communist" country... come here on vacation and look at all those workers protesting, starving and cuting their fingers. It's like you go to circus...
Some town about 200 miles east of Havana, think it was called Valadero. Things are dead cheap there. The hotels are nice but there is the odd play that you look at and think "how could anyone stay there?" but it nothing worse than what you will 90 miles north. People are nice to which is always the best part
Cuba dont stamp your passport anymore...That's if they let you back into the US after they see your 'commie stamp collection'.
If I were you, I'd go to Belarus. I've wanted to go there for ages just because it's an 'outpost of tyranny'.

I'm thinking about trying to get to Belarus, which still has a lot of Soviet institutions. Anyone been there before?
I've been thinking about going solo to Belarus, as far as I'm aware you need a tourist card in advance unless you're a citizen of Mongolia, Serbia, Cuba, DPRK, Macedonia, Vietnam, and maybe a few other countries. Minsk is a fairly popular city break destination so I imagine it's just a case of filling out a form and waiting a few weeks. I'd also like to go to DPRK and Cuba.
no ones mentioned Albania...
You're right on many of the countries that don't need visas beforehand. However, from what I can tell, citizens from other countries would need an invitation letter (which basically means paying a Belarusian tourist company for the document), a hotel voucher (reservations for the dates you plan to stay) and an application before getting a visa. It's a bit complicated, but the process isn't significantly worse than what most visitors to the US face. If you want more info in the future, let me know and I'll do my best.
Because you are Western pussies
Everybody know that someone will shoot you and rob you in Albania.
I was in Albania.
Also, you talk about visiting all those countries like you go to cinema or circus. Do you even know how people live here? Do you think that they care about few "commies" coming there to "admire communist institutions"?
I've been to Hungary, Czech, and Romania and I didn't see any communists on excibit in any of the places.Because you are Western pussies

Actually I didn't see much of a difference from western Europe at all.
I wasn't talking about "communists on exhibit" I was talking about ordinary people, which live hard lives now, and they lived them before (in "communism"), and Western "commies" come to their country and talk about "communism" while they starve, protest and cut their fingers. I don't like that. To me that's like circus, to which I was referring, but I think that ZOO would be better world, because: you go there to see how people live, like you go to ZOO to see tigers. Don't come near the bars, they'll rip you offI've been to Hungary, Czech, and Romania and I didn't see any communists on exhibit in any of the places.
Did you know that in Hungary you would go in jail for wearing "red star" or "hammer and sickle"?
Sorry, that was supposed to be a joke.I wasn't talking about "communists on exhibit" I was talking about ordinary people, which live hard lives now, and they lived them before (in "communism"), and Western "commies" come to their country and talk about "communism" while they starve, protest and cut their fingers.

I completely agree with your points. Visiting them as "communist" countries makes little sence.
I would love to go to Cuba some day but after reading this thread I am not sure if my expectations are gonna be made real, to see them I need to visit households and factories and farms and I am not sure you are allowed to do that?
I mean someone mentioned Sweden as a viable place to go see socialism, come on, it's not like we got big posters and statues of our "great" socialist leaders or that you can see and touch the feeling of our "worker's paradise". To see socialism you need to live in the country for at least some months or years.
It is probably nothing you will see as a tourist. Sweden is not THAT exotic.
Sweden is not socialist.
In Sweden railway is someone's private property.
Yeah, there is no socialism in the EU besides a few worker co-operatives here and there. The EU's constitution prohibits socialism. Joohoo, the Cuba Solidarity Campaign and the Revolutionary Communist Group both run Cuba brigades, you go there with a group of like-minded Comrades, you work on restoration projects and farms with Cuban workers, visit schools, hospitals, government buildings, and museums, drink rum, learn how to salsa, etc.
Vist East Germany, home of the former DDR, and talk to all the people who are bitter about the system they're currently living in. The majority miss the DDR. There's still plenty of monuments and architecture to see.
