Getting psyched up for North Korea

A bunch of us are in the midst of planning for a trip to DPRK next spring. It was something we talked about in Beijing, when our friend John was in a shop buying North Korean propoganda posters. We found out that they also arrange tours to Pyongyang. And now, John is gathering the troops and doing a whole bunch of research and planning. Thank you John :)

We are also reading about this very mysterious country so that we'll get the most out of the trip. Strangely, we managed to share a book without getting into fights! You can also get this book here.


This afternoon, I was watching the re-run of Nat Geo's, Undercover in North Korea, hosted by Lisa Ling, the sister of the journalist who was held captive by North Korea in 2009. It was like watching bits of what I was reading. I highly recommend it if you haven't seen. Also, watch this video on North Korean Mass Game. It's amazing how precise their timings are.

We're so excited about our trip. Can't wait to tell you more!
