There are very strict laws on journalists upon entering the DPRK, and although I don't think I am a journalist
at all, it's always good just to be safe. For example, a few years ago Koryo Tours took a journalist who lied about his job to the DPRK, and the company was subsequently shut down for a few months afterwards, so it's always good just to be safe and to make sure all boxes are ticked!
I would
highly recommend the DPRK, Rhys. From the outset it is a very different world to what we are used to, and it's incredibly hard to explain how I personally feel about the place having spent a week there, but my opinions are very different to the ones I held upon entering the country, which were also positive but also apprehensive. The people are some of the most welcoming I have met in my travels, and the scenery is simply to die for. And you're a fan of political commentary, well...book your flight!
Sadly, spotting at FNJ isn't all that great. With only a few movements a day you'd be better off going to the Korean War Museum and seeing some of the Migs used there, but more on that later!
