If you were given a visa to visit the DPRK, would you use it?

>>1216153
A chance to visit the world's most isolated country? Hell yes I would

>>1216153
you'd be daft not to. as long as you do what you're told to and don't act like a complete and utter retard it would be incredible.

>>1216153
I have been to DPRK, as have many other anons. Getting in is easy. You just need to sign up for a guided tour.

Also, some of your greentexts were false. If you're going to do a DPRK thread at least do it right.

>If you were given a visa to visit the DPRK, would you use it?
Yes. "I have not been everywhere, but it is on my list."

>Thinks to consider:
>>You will be with a guide the entirety of your time outside of your hotel
Yes, which is not ideal, but it is their country; their rules.

>>Your hotel room will be bugged
Some poor Nork bastard is going to listen to farting and snoring. Too bad for him, not an issue for me.

>>Speaking bad about the glorious leader can earn you a deportation and travel ban and give your guide up to 20 years forced labor
Not the only place in the world with lese majesty laws, not a huge problem.

>>What you take pictures of will be regulated
See "Their country: their rules" above.

>>You will have to make a trip to Mansudae and leave flowers
Not a problem, I can be thinking snide comments in my mind while doing it. If I filed through the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum in respectful silence, I can leave flowers somewhere.

You're acting like it's notoriously difficult to get a visa. It's not. I'd say Bhutan is more difficult because of the costs.

It's not for me though, i don't like to be kept on a tight leash.

How expensive is it to go and stay there for like a week or so?

>>1216189
It's not cheap. Check out what tours are available from the companies like Koryo or Young Pioneers. You also have to arrange a flight to Beijing first by yourself, most of the time.

>>1216180
Probably the most difficult country to get a visa for is Saudi Arabia. Although there are rumors they are soon starting to make tourist visas available as part of guided tours.

>>1216170
Which ones are false?
I got most of this from wikitravel thb

>>1216197
>Your hotel room will be bugged
Probably not. Why would they?

>Speaking bad about the glorious leader can earn you a deportation and travel ban and give your guide up to 20 years forced labor
Only in extreme cases. Just use common sense. Even if you accidentally let something bad slip, your guides will just pretend not to hear it. To actually get into serious trouble, you specifically have to go out of your way to be a jackass. And it's your guides who get into trouble first, as a tourist the worst that can happen is deportation, unless you are a complete fucking idiot like some in the news lately.

>What you take pictures of will be regulated
You can take pictures of everything, except military things outside DMZ. In fact the guides encourage you to take pictures of everything.

I'm actually going to NK in the summer.

>>1216153
Hell the fuck yeah I would, I couldn't visit the DMZ from the South side because I was born in Cuba and I am extremely curious about Nork and its aspie leader
