Registered 16 years agoFrom your profile pic I imagined you more as a Starship captain in a chefs hat... Also, can anyone go? Do I need to be a diplomat or something? In that case: Otto you are Razz only hope!

Registered 16 years agoI'd love to go over there and see this for myself. I get the feeling this will not be around forever, and if you don't 'witnes' this now, you may never see it except for a few photo's snapped by a brave and engineering photographer... -

Registered 19 years agoI find it amazing how drab everything is, the only things that show any expression of creativity are the bizarre bins and the drive safely sign. -

SUMMARY
* It is not possible to enter the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) (North Korea) from the Republic of Korea (ROK) (South Korea).
* The threat from terrorism in the DPRK is low. But you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.
* You should register with the British Embassy in Pyongyang on arrival.
* Travel within the DPRK is severely restricted.
* Due to Avian Influenza outbreaks in the region, you may be required by the DPRK authorities to provide recent travel itineraries as part of the visa application process. The DPRK authorities have said informally that visas may be denied to applicants who have recently visited areas affected by Avian Influenza but no further guidance has yet issued as to how this might be applied.
* We strongly recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling to the DPRK. You should check any exclusions, and that your policy covers you for the activities you want to undertake. Please see: Travel Insurance.
No problem getting a visa really then. Just need to register with the British embassy on arrival, and sort out a guide. -

If you want to see an absolute shithole made up of old concrete buildings and run down squalid housing where everyone is afraid, miserable and speaks a foreign language, couldnt you just go to Birmingham?

I personally like this picture. And the line "You have to make sure photos are taken of the front of the statue only and that the full body is in the shot to avoid causing offence. Our guide actually checked my digital camera after the shot was taken to make sure."
thats crazy! -
Yeah, absolutely fantastic link; later in the thread there's a link to some more photos. Not quite as good but there's some interesting stuff about the border in that one. -

Registered 20 years agoCheers Furbs, that link was teh awesome. Some of the city shots of apartment buildings and streets reminded me of some parts of Moscow when I lived there from 94 to 97, only even more grey.
I'd never even considered going there before, now I'd really love to go. -
