Warning, may break through cynicism and cause happiness.

I'm unsure what is happening now.

hahahah this guy's awesome. Still doing this after all these years. Good on him.

It is bad, but, the so bad it's good kind.

It was on tv a few months back as an ad for commonwealth bank or something

Yeah I was looking through his older ones before (somehow 2005 and 2006!) and was surprised to see how... alone he was.

The 2008 one totally rocked though, it's all about that sweet Indian dance move.



edit: Actually I realised that I like the 2008 one better, because everybody is just freestylin.

Yeah what's his story? Been around a bit eh!

Great guy. Love those vids.

North Korea looks CRAZY

North Korea looks CRAZY

He wrote that NK was super weird, and then another bit about how that woman possibly faced repercussions, in a Reddit AMA today..

I timed my visit during Kim Jon Il's birthday -- what turned out to be his last birthday, actually.

They have these mass dances where they bring thousands of people out into the street in fancy dress to do these kinda silly, childish dances together.

Attending the mass dance was easy, but joining in and filming it was not. The North Korean tour guides nodded when I explained what I wanted to do. They were like, "whatever," but in Korean. Then when it came time for me to film, they were like, "shut up and get on the bus," but in Korean.

I looked over at the Brit guide who was with our group. He knew why I was there and what I wanted to do and he just kinda mouthed the word, "Go."

So I ran out into the group of North Korean dancers, opened my tripod and plopped the camera down, and just started doing their dance.

The North Koreans immediately broke out in stitches. They thought it was hysterical, and their laughter kind of short circuited the security apparatus. All the guards just stood there not knowing what to do, cause everyone was staring at me and laughing and I'm going to go out on a limb and say I don't think that happens very often.

So I knew as long as I kept dancing, we were sort of at a stalemate, but I didn't have a shot unless I could get someone to dance with me. So I kept going and then finally this one woman stepped out of the group, bowed in front of me, and joined in.

The courage of that woman. The courage!

Anyway, we were shut down and I was put on the bus, but it blew over pretty quickly and no one cared about going after my footage or anything. It was ultimately no big deal.

At least for me. I hope she's okay.

There's an AMA (Q&A) on reddit atm - http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/vgk61/i_am_matt_from_where_the_hell_is_matt_ama/

Never thought much of these vids although i do wish i could visit all the places he has been to.

Well, I imagine that it would get kind of boring after a bit, and then he'd have to join /r/notravel.
