>>120821 I hope you do realize you can't just wander around the town (unless you precised where you want to wander it in your journey schedule - there vanishes idea of real street photography) and enter "bars/pubs/restaurants" meant for local people, that makes contact with them much less possible. There is a damn good reason why it's forbidden to use local currency by tourists, the only contact with people you'll ever make are sellers authorised to deal with foreigers (they accept euros), tour guides (there's a lot of them tho... every nice place worth seeing has one), your personal tour guide and your assigned "protector". Man, when I had to take a metro, military dude ordered all natives to go out of the wagon before I could even enter it ^^;
Anyway, good luck with your journey. I hope that you'll see at least something that will be of interest for you, but take at least this advice for gear: If you really mean it, bring 2 point&shoot cameras that ***CAN NOT*** film with a lot of memory cards and a flash with optical slave trigger (no radio devices allowed - forget pocket wizzards, they WILL be confiscated) . These might save your ass because as I said, d300 (or any slr in that size) with longer tele is a no-go and they will most probably take it from you even before you arrive to Pyongyang (better case scenario - they will take only tele lens and not your body, so you can still slam 28 or 50mm prime on it).
