Does anyone know anyone who has taken a guided tour of North Korea? I've always thought it would be fascinating.

For sure. But I've read lots of accounts of these tours and you get glimpses of real life. It's clearly all propaganda they're showing you, but I've read you get more interaction with everyday North Koreans then you'd expect.

Begin here at the Arch of Triumph and give yourself a tour.

I use Google Maps/Earth to walk the streets when I read the news. Not just NK, it can help understand what is going on.

It's much safer too.


The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

I recently saw some documentary tour. Looked incredibly dull after the first 5 ,minutes. At least in other authoritarian countries on gets a sense of a culture, North Korea strikes me as a land of eerie silence. Not my thing at all.
