    Wow, I'm jealous man.

    I just got back from Cuba last month, and would be really interested in visiting North Korea as well.

    My wife stood on the North Korea side in Panmumjon, so technically, she has been to North Korea.

    Why in the &^@%$&$ would someone go to NK for a HOLIDAY?

    Where next? Beirut? Antarctica? Sudan?

    I am trying to imagine the job you must have, that going to NK would be a vacation...

    Beirut is a great place to visit. Lebanon as a whole is a great country to visit.

    Leave the OP alone about his business there. There are 3 kinds of business in DPRK:
    1. Grass clipping exchange (food)
    2. Reused cardboard exchange (food)
    3. 1950's rocket technology

    I am betting on the 2nd option, but it's ultimately his business.

    Ummm...Beirut is probably one of the coolest cities I've ever been to. And people pay top dollar to visit Antarctica...I'd love to go there one day.

    I've always had a fascination with North Korea and would love to visit one day. I'd also be really curious what type of business you are in, especially if you are American.

    Be sure to try the pizza -- it's legal and delicious.

    I know I know, I just was thinking of names of places that have been war-ravaged in the past. I know Beirut is a lovely place, Sean Penn went there you know, they have flowery meadows and rainbow skies, and rivers made of chocolate, where the children dance and laugh and play with gumdrop smiles!

    South Korea is a better vacation spot, except for major cities. Traffic is worse than New York City.
    Good luck in North Korea. Don't wander off and get shot!
