[QUOTE="Yulia, post: 1223104, member: 84041"] Trip to the North Korea? In my list as well. Was going to buy a small beach tour there (in Rason SEZ) something like 10-11 years ago,but unfortunately it was too expensive for me back then (rather because of my authorized tour operator) and I didn't go there...by the way,North Korea became a bit more "open" starting from this year (not sure if it's the same with your passport though). They offer beach tours even for "individual tourists" (without any authorized travel agency from foreign countries,but only with their guides). Also,if you are interested in what the life there actually is, I strongly advise you to watch a documentary "Under the Sun" (one of my favourite documentaries), as well as to read/watch anything from Lankov (one of the world's leading experts in the North Korea culture, politics, history etc), there's a lot of interviews with him on YouTube for example [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Lankov[/URL] Found also an article about current trips to the NK in eng, maybe will be helpful: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.timeout.com/asia/news/north-korea-reopens-to-tourists-after-5-years-heres-how-to-visit-and-what-to-expect-022025[/URL] [/QUOTE]
