Would anyone else like to go to North Korea

You can travel via Shanghai and Beijing.
Its been on my bucket list for about 5 years.
I want to see the demilitarised zone from the DPKR side and visit the memorials to the fallen in the "dirty war".(y)

I'm definitely going to go. Preferably not with our lass. If I go with her, I think I'll be on some porn site as the rooms are apparently all camererd up in the 1 hotel they put u in.

Travel to North Korea

A tour to North Korea is amlost all-inclusive. Three meals a day and all accommodation is included in our tours. This means that you can concentrate entirely on your experiences and impressions during the trip. Having arrived in the country, our groups will be welcomed by two North Korean tourist guides, usually a man and a woman. Those guides are very nice and highly professional people, their language skills are excellent.

Check out our website – we offer a wide range of affordable open group tours as well as very attractive private tours. After you came back from your trip, you will probably acknowledge to yourself that you have just finished the most impressive and memorable journey of your life.
 
Surely we'd get a special deal and a bit of time on our own over there, without escorts, thanks to Ayresome in '66?? :) P. taking aside, I've had a morbid fascination for the place since the mid 90's.
 
Looks like I'm the only one who's been? I'd recommend it to anyone, you can't get an experience like it anywhere else on earth. The Mass Games is the most amazing spectacle I've ever seen. My preferred travel co is these (English) guys based in Beijing https://koryogroup.com/

This was my female tour guide for the tour (in traditional dress) and the soldier guide I had on the captured American spy ship USS Pueblo

I’m sure Stuart Pearce went last year as he was fascinated by the place. Think they were filming some of it but don’t recall seeing it.

Where did you start from? Did you travel in from China?
 
One of my ex colleagues went a few years ago, most of the muppets in my office who only venture as far as Tenerife for a fortnight just took the **** about her behind her back but I have to say I was genuinely fascinated.

I can’t remember an awful lot about what she told me about it but do remember being told it was a completely guided tour, they are incredibly polite and respectful people, but you only see what they want to you see and she could only get there via China.

Michael Palin in North Korea was a good watch. I’ve also got the book.

Sadly I doubt I’ll ever have the money to go.
 
Yes Koryo Tours organised the N Korea team trip to Boro in 2002. Am still on their regular email list. Am sure they would be delighted by Boro fans going out there. Along with New Zealand I would definitely go if the football season allowed it. Nick Bonner is the name of the guy at the tours who organised the team coming here with Dan Gordon from the film company.
 
Asia [in general] I'd recommend over Europe to visit any day -- lived in South Korea for a year-- fascinating experience but I gave North Korea a miss. I suppose visiting the likes of Beijing satisfied my curiosity with the communist states although it's far removed from what it was like back in the 1980s --so I'm not too sure it's worth the visit.
 
The Pyongyang marathon is on my bucket list, hopefully get to do it one day. My only experience of Asia so far is Vietnam, I can see why people fall in love with the far East.
 
I've been back in Europe for just under 18 months and I'm already restless to get back to Hanoi.

Asia is an addiction, of that there's no doubt.
