When was the last trip you took where: * the guide wouldn't allow you to keep your passport? * you weren't allowed to use the local currency? * criticism of the place you traveled could get a guide into serious trouble? * on your return you felt you had to be careful bringing back books, pins and T-shirts because they might be illegal? All this and more can be yours with a trip to the DPRK, the Democratic Peoples Republic of Orwellian Country Names, better known as North Korea. |
