They seem to be easing up their allowance to get in.

It's North Korea, "allowances" surely play a roll.

Believe it or not North Korea is very very very safe. The downside of the country is there simply isn't shit to do or see.

Enjoy the locals hating you with a passion and subsequently trying to poison you with gone-off food and water wherever you go.

Happened to a group of undercover journalists who tried to have a look around.

A journalist/photographer from National Geographic Society recently went to North Korea recently and said a lot of the population isn't as xenophobic as the west comes to believe. He also noted that where ever he was, the majority of the population was happy and smiling, though this may simply be because they have no idea of the outside world.

Or maybe the food situation got better and they actually have some now.

Or maybe because they're told to.

Oh, and there was this one tourist who get shot because he entered a military zone. There are no signs and warnings because of secrecy. lol.

I wanted to visit, but there's a part of me that doesn't want to go since every dollar I spend will go directly to funding Kim Jong-Il's underage Korean rape parties. At least in other oppressive regimes the money I give the locals can be quietly pocketed and not necessarily given to said oppressive governments in full.

Also, knowing me, I'd get myself and my tour guide in trouble.

Looks interesting. The site makes it sound easy to set up business with North Korea. I wonder how easy it really is, though.

don't you have to go on an official government tour? you only get to see what they want you to see so I'd think it's pretty safe, I doubt they want to show off starving villagers or high crime areas, if you enjoy getting fed propaganda itÂ’s probably a blast

Enjoy having to stop when you get there and worship at the feet of one of the giant Kim Jong Il statues.

Oh man....I think I want to go now. North Korea is me in country form. It's awkward, depressing, and completely out of touch with the rest of the world.

Hope you guys watched it all and expanded the -- A BRIEF NOTE FROM SHANE SMITH ON THE BYZANTINE NORTH KOREAN VISA PROCESS [Read More] -- blurb.
Go on youtube or something for smuggled footage of what NK is really like in the far, remote mountain villages where famine and poverty occur far from the capital.
Also for more interesting info on a town you will never go to.

Would have been a lot more enjoyable if that shane guy wasn't completely retarded. I wonder if I'll get shot if I go and make a documentary...

So fucking surreal. I wonder if they did the same with the 'intourists' coming to USSR.

Man, "Europe vs. USA" bullshit aside, the West is a fucking paradise. I feel so bad for these people, and ashamed of how little we appreciate it sometimes.

North Korea is totalitarian on a way only Stalin's USSR was capable of, they're still stuck in 1940.

Seriously though the country is so repressive even the Soviet Union shunned them and only Mao's China liked them at all

Here's what you will do if you go to North Korea. First of all, if you're an American you can just about forget about it unless there's some circumstance where they're letting Americans in. Everyone takes the same tour, pretty much. You'll be basically taken to cardboard props of "happy life". You'll see monuments to North Korea (where you'll be expected to bow). Your hotel will be bugged. You will be shot if the guards catch you going of the designated course.

You have to remember that this Orwellian circus is quite literally the worst place on earth.

I once had a nightmare in which I travelled to North Korea and I was invited to dine some weird-looking eggs with Kim Jong-il... fucking weird
