Title: Vice guides
Post by: Josquius on January 26, 2010, 07:06:10 PM
This is a really interesting site (or rather interesting part of a site, haven't examined the rest), a bunch of 'travel guides' from dangerous and evil countries.

Liberia part 1:http://www.vbs.tv/watch/the-vice-guide-to-travel/the-vice-guide-to-liberia-1-of-8
North Korea part 1: http://www.vbs.tv/watch/the-vice-guide-to-travel/vice-guide-to-north-korea-1-of-3

I stumbled on their North Korean one on youtube a while back, a lot of the standard stuff from N.Korea docs but good nonetheless. Just started watching their others. The Liberian one thus far is rather cool

Why are they called vice guides? That just makes them sound sketchy.

It's Canadian magazine (VICE) that moved to NYC when it became to cool for Canada. We carry the DVD at work. They are often funny, in a South Parky retarded hipster kind of way. They publish all sorts of guides etc also.

I count the VICE Guide to Sex, Drugs and Rock n' Roll among my influences.

A woman I met on my trip to Grenada last November is writing a book on Hedonism in Montreal. That sorta' turned me on.
