North+Korea

North Korea
Yes, it is possible to get into Best Korea. No, it's not even difficult.

Myth vs Reality

 * Myth: it's impossible to get into DPRK. Reality: you can easily get in as part of a guided tour.
 * Myth: Eurofags/Amerifags/professional chicken fuckers aren't allowed in. Reality: anyone is allowed in, even Amerifags. The only exceptions are South Koreans and people suspected to be of Korean descent, and journalists.
 * Myth: it's really unsafe and you will be arrested for a small inadvertent insult. Reality: it's one of the safest countries in the world to visit. There is virtually zero chance of being robbed, scammed, etc. You will not be arrested, and even if you go out of your way to be a jackass, the worst that will happen is for you to get booted out. Beware: don't act like a jackass, since if you do, it's your guide will get into serious trouble, not you.
 * Myth: your money supports the evil regime. Reality: your money is a drop in the bucket. You will actually help the locals you come into contact with (especially your tour guides).
 * Myth: they will try to convert you into a communist with endless propaganda. Reality: you will see lots of propaganda, but at no time does anyone expect you to "convert".
 * Myth: you can't take pictures of anything. Reality: you will end up taking far more pictures than you thought. You can take pictures of everything except military stuff. Your guides will let you know when you shouldn't snap a shot of something.

Getting in
You need to be booked on a guided tour. These are simple to book, but the downside is that they are expensive, and you must do so at least 1 month in advance. Tour companies usually start their trip in Beijing, to where you will have to head on your own. Companies known to have been used by /trv/lers include:
 * Koryo Tours
 * Korea Konsult

Once there
Once you are inside Best Korea, you don't really have much of a choice in deciding what to do. Tours consists of your guides taking you around from one place to the next, always praising the Great Leader. Some of the claims will defy absurdity, but just smile politely and do not try to argue. Be a good tourist. The more your guides trust you, the more they will let you see. During the evenings, there is not much else to do than drinking beer at the hotel. If you are staying at the Yanggakdo in Pyongyang, it does include a bowling lane and a casino. The basement has a sauna/massage parlor, which rumors say provides full service by an unenthusiastic Chinese slave.
