Yea.. I know a few people that went there for a 2 or 3 day guided tour whilst teaching in south korea though- ill have to ask them more about how they got there etc!

slightly off topic, but within the cold war theme.. has anyone been to North Korea?? Im planning a visit sometime in the next year or so via south korea, ive heard fascinating stories about travelling there!

... Anyone know what the deal with the tickets is likely to be for this? I've never been before but I go away for 5 weeks on Friday so gonna get my old man to try to get one for me if its all ticket, just wondering if it's likely to be or not as the bottom tiers standing? ???
Cheers in advance :)
