Sweet. I've seen some documentaries about North Korea. The capital seems like an eerie place.

This is an interesting page on a trip to NK someone linked a while back.

 

Don't forget to wear your special vest proudly!

 

ever watched Locked Up Abroad on national geographic?


yea, i hope to catch your episode soon.

 

We need PICS of this Korea chick.

 

I can't wait to hear your stories when you get back. Don't forget to share your experiences. And take some photos if you can.

 

how did you manage to get a visa? is there an N. Korean embassy in USA?

 

My wife got to stand on the North Korea side of the UN building at Panmunjeom.

 

You go to China and visit the NK embassy there. Also, they're usually pretty good about not stamping your passport.

 

ah gotcha, thanx

 

Lucky! I've seriously always wanted to visit N Korea and that's still something I hope to do some day. The fact that they are about 50 years behind the rest of the world fascinates me.

 

i know what you mean. it's one of the reasons i want to visit Cuba.

 

be very careful of what you take pictures of. i also heard theres a restriction on what types of cameras are allowed into north korea (they wont let high tech gadgets in bc they wanna keep their populace in the dark about how backwards the outside world is)

also, dont say anything bad against kim jong il or his father kim il sung.

man im sure youre gonna get tired, real quick with all the kim jong il and kim il sung praise...

if you get a chance to go to pyongyang, try the neng-myun (cold noodles) one of my favorite korean dishes.

 

Remember: What happens in Kumgang stays in Kumgang.

 

i'll give you a $100 if you videotape yourself stomping on a kim jong il poster in public.

 

After 4 years and 11,000 posts you were finally able to post a Kumgang joke ~ congratulations !

 

Kumgang sounds like a wicked porno.

 

fadeaway is Canadian and if I have followed things correctly, he is teaching English in South Korea.

Please take some pictures if you can - I'd be really curious to see them.
