As long as I could afford it, I would pay a pretty penny. Honestly. Being able to experience something like this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the few that get to experience it.

Originally posted by fbgdavidson I'm DYING to go to North Korea. I know people who have gone and found it fascinating as an insight into human psychology. Unfortunately I've got a US Visa (not just a visit stamp) in my British passport and I don't really want to spend the rest of my life in a DPRK concentration camp as being related (and married to) the infidel. When my passport requires renewing (or I 'lose' it) I'd certainly look to make a trip.

Will they not allow British entry? Or is the US? They have allowed a good few US citizens in.

Americans have been let in on very rare occasions. ca. 1000 in the last 50 years! The DPRK generally loathes Americans...

The people I know who have gone to North Korea are booked on what is essentially a package tour through a Chinese based company Koryo Tours. You get the visa through them and go to Beijing where from where you fly on the national airline into Pyongyang.

I guess it is a good thing I can get a Russian passport through my sister. Or so I hope.

Better do that sooner rather than later. From what I understand, there are often age limits on how long you're able to apply for a 'secondary' passport based on family/heritage.

Clever move with the national service

Yeah, I think the age limit is 30 for a lot of countries.

Sadly, I never had the option to get dual passports. The last 3 generations in my family were all born in Australia.

i was lucky, because now if you were born after a certain year if you accept another country's passport you have to give up canadian citizenship.

Is that for every country's passports, or just most?

i would not know.

they did this because when there were problems in lebanon the canadian gov had to extract a ton of people from the area that had canadian passports but never really lived in canada.

it was quite expensive.

dual citizenship has its privileges for sure. For instance, an italian passport gives you a right to work in all EU countries. My sister just got a job as a nanny in london. Without the passport it would have been quite impossible.

the townships in joburg are certainly more an iussue that drivin around CT.
been in thailand during coups, in indonesia during the riots when suharto got deposed. unless you were near the centre of things you'd not know the differencefrom any other day. Only thing we got told is don't make major purchases in foreign currency as we might be seen to be taking advantage of their currency crumbling.
