I visited North Korea on a tour in 2010. Back then, I had to leave my mobile phone in China, and the Google Maps of North Korea was totally blank.
The most important things for me - Jesus and technology - are illegal in North Korea. It was a fascinating experience! What surprised me most is that it is a "country", with working trains and postal service and businesses. The government just has totally different priorities to me.
I'd recommend North Korea for a honeymoon. There's no choice of hotels or restaurants, because you have to go to the government-approved ones. Other people can't contact you, so there's no disturbances. It was actually very relaxing!
On another note, I took the Trans-Siberian train across Russia in 2009, and narrowly avoided being arrested when trying to see if a North Korean logging camp is still active (I guess it is). Do you think it's safe to write up that experience now?
