"we?ll be hitting up all the must-see sights such as Kim Il Sung Square, the Korean War Museum, Pyongyang Metro, Juche Tower and much more! Of course, no trip to the DPRK is complete without a visit to the DMZ where both North and South Korea meet head-on."
Bring on the small doggy dinners ;-)
I thought you were going to end with "inclined" :-)
Lou asked what I wanted to do for my 50th Birthday and I said "Go for a holiday in North Korea."
She now wants to book this
Sounds great. Maybe you could take Colin to make up he numbers?

Wow! Tell her she can take me instead :-)
I see it's a one way trip!
I have pointed that out to her.
It's almost certain we will try to go. But not till October. I actually fancied the train journey.
Well, they like foreign visitors, but would be a little worried about the state of their trains over there. Brian
Is she a hairdresser? Their leader needs a sensible hair do I gather. Brian
Actually quite good (at least between China and North Korea).
Michael Palin did a TV series and book on it fairly recently.
Of course the money spent in visiting North Korea supports the regime.

Looks good and not as pricey as I'd have thought. But you do have to get to Berin and back from Beijing ; I'd spend some time there too.
Possible downside is trying to get into the USA with a NK stamp in your passport at some future date.

It's not a downside, it's a plan with NO drawbacks:-)
If labour get power, there won't be much difference between ours and theirs.
Yeah. If some country doesn't want to let me in why would I want to get in.
You think we'll have full employment and be able to make our own nuclear weapons?
I never thought things would be that good under Corbyn.

At one time, you could get a temporary passport to visit countries whose stamp might cause you problems when visiting another - particularly Israel with Arab country stamps and vice versa. I can't find that as an option today.
Long train journeys are really boring and frustrating after the first couple of days. You often get carried past interesting looking stuff too with no chance to see it properly. Better and cheaper to organise it yourself.
Not from the gov.uk site, but still mentioned on several other sites, e.g.
oddly there was a uk.gov blog claiming they'd investigated the number of people searching for second passport, and they'd made changes to improve the results, but that doesn't seem to have remained effective, I used the search box on the gov.uk home page and got nada.
