    Best to put that one at the bottom of the bucket list. They'll supply the bucket for you to kick

    It is actually on my wish list! Would LOVE to go. I find it fascinating. Maybe not now though.....getting a bit testy in the Trump era. A few years ago would have been a little better.

    Haha, it's absolutely on mine. I've been briefly once, would love to go back properly / for longer.

    We came close to going a few years ago but the timing didn't work. I'm really hoping to get back in the next few years.

    I just Googled "Scuba diving North Korea". Only came up with one dodgy looking dive charter, mostly in Russia. I guess I'll give it a miss for now.

    Has there ever been a time when North Korea wasn't on a travel warning?

    I'm heading there at the end of the month for Mardi Gras. I hear the gay scene is to die for. Rumours are Alan Alda will be performing drag as Hillary Clinton.

    I'd actually like to go to Pyonyang. Here in Myanmar there is a North Korean restaurant which i am dying to go to. I wonder what type of cabbage they boil for mains.

    North Korea does have a ski resort - I'll be in that.

    I wonder what they do for slope grooming if all the teenagers are tied up on road clearing duties?

    My guess is they get the tourists to assist with this.

    I think South Korea may be a better choice:)

    Only if you diss the boss, the military, take photos, speak to a local, shop in the 'locals only' shops etc.

    What exactly was interesting? Is there something new or did you just not know the extent of the situation there before?
