anybody else in Korea right now?
I'm kind of at a loss because I don't know where all the awesome things are, and I don't speak a word of the language - and neither does the friend I'm staying with.

Hook it up, sons!
I am apparently one stop from the electronics district though. Going there in an hour or so.

it definitely would be!
I wonder if I'd make it back out. I'm guessing they speak even less english there. I really want to go some day, and see what the 50s were like. and also get stared at and heckled.

Wait, I can do that last bit in any asian country. In Japan I can yell back though!

From everything I have read, tour groups of foreigners are treated quite well. After all that is probably the only outside money coming in (with the excpetion of shady backroom dealings that the DPRK engages in). Just act respectfully around the statues of Kim Il Sung.


I've read similar, but I've also read that unless you're from russia, vietnam, or china (or another communist/post-communist country) you can't really even get on a tour in the first place?
