Pyongyang Travel Guide

Welcome to "No Mans Land". The DMZ. The site of the most expensive tree pruning operation in world history. See the worlds largest flag. See the worlds tallest flag pole structure. See one of the worlds most heavily mined borders. Don't get separated from the tour group. See the tall buildings that are nothing more than fascades and placards. Look at the "Bridge of No Return". Watch the North Koreans mill about in their humongous military caps, and turn away just before the camera flashes... Yeah, good times. Makes you appreciate the concepts of life, libery, the pursuit of happiness, freedom, and autonomy...

If visiting the Kumsusan Memorial Palace (Kim Il Sung Mausoleum) be sure to dress nicely and be prepared to leave most of your belongings in lockers (purses, side packs, cameras).  I felt underdressed in a dress that was plain and casual.
