Life inside North Korea - the secret pictures Kim Jong-un doesn't want you to see

Eating grass, sleeping on the floor and lights out at 9pm doesn't sound like much fun, but these are the ingredients that make up an Airbnb - North Korean style.

These eye-opening images of life inside the country were snapped by a photographer who ventured to the notoriously secretive nation for a unique project.

And the images have been termed so damning by the totalitarian dictatorship that Eric Lafforgue has since been BANNED from returning there.

The 52-year-old first visited the country in 2008 and has since been there five times, and was thrilled to be able to return as a guest at a "sort of North Korean Airbnb", as he describes it.

As a guest of a fisherman in the village of Jung Pyong Ri, in Myongchon county, situated in the North Hamgyong province, Lafforgue points out that the remote village with white sandy beaches "doesn't exist on any map".

"Hillary Clinton conceded the election when she called me just prior to the victory speech and after the results were in. Nothing will change," Trump wrote.

He continued by quoting an answer from Clinton during a presidential debate:

President-elect, Donald Trump's opponent, the Green Party's 2016 presidential candidate, Jill Stein demanded a vote recount in Wisconsin, a Democratic state that he won, citing inconsistencies in the votes. But the Obama administration has said there was no evidence of the elections been tampered with or hacked.
Jill Stein who didn't get enough votes to be on the ballot paper said:

“After a divisive and painful presidential race, reported hacks into voter and party databases and individual email accounts are causing many American to wonder if our election results are reliable. These concerns need to be investigated before the 2016 presidential election is certified. We deserve elections we can trust.”
