There's no way you're getting out of Pyongyang without a chokeholding tour guide if you're not a North Korean citizen or Malaysian. Or one of the very few Chinese and Japanese expats left there (only because North Korea wants them to GTFO). Last edited by Kudryavka; 2013-01-29 at 08:28. |

I obviously know very little about the current internal state of North Korea, but how am I to interpret this? Are you defending them, or trying to say things aren't as bad as they're portrayed? What is your takeaway from visiting, exactly?

I am curious though if your restriction depends on nationality. Vice had interesting documentary about their visit to North Korea, from the documentary there seems to be lot of limitation. Of course their visit was done rather hastily, but you would think that an American would have tougher time touring the region.

The real question here would be, I have an unlocked Android phone (didn't have to unlock it, it came directly from China with no strings attached), if I ever have to reside for some time in the USA and activate my phone (it has two SIM slots) with a local company, do I get automatically to pay a fine? Or "better" still, if my actual phone company has a branch office in the USA, does the moment I have to go (or pass thru) said country, does the immigration officers will be waiting for me to pay a fine? It has been known they already check your smartphone, so it would be an extension of what their daily routine.
