I've been intrigued by holidays in NK.
Explore used to offer a package tour: maybe still do.
What's it like? If I ever have any money ever again, and can justify the journey to myself, it'd be on the list of places I'd like to see...

What's it like, you ask?
I really don't know how to answer that. It's completely mucking fental. And absolutely brilliant, all at the same time.
Lots of fucked-upness there. I highly recommend the wikitravel page.

How were you treated there?
Like a western devil or a man from outer space?

The guides were completely lovely.
The local people ranged from a bit wary to really friendly (when we got a chance to speak to them, like on the metro or at the funfair).
Actually, the only people who weren't nice were the Russians who live in Pyongyang. They were all a bit horrid (and smelled of Pound Shop Aftershave)

Cool :)
Would love to see it one day.
Must be pretty surreal.

Surreal is definitely the word
Lots of facades - it was hard to know what was real and what might have been staged for us tourists.
