I read a blog diary by someone that took the train from Vienna thru Russia, then the closed (in 2008) border town of Tumangan, and then to Pyongyang. They spent multiple days touring Pyongyang and thereabouts in what appeared to be a strictly guided tour. Fascinating read.

- peterburkimsher 6y agoI bought my Trans-Siberian train ticket from that guy, Helmut Uttenthaler! He's a great person to chat to, and didn't worry about me trying to go to visit a North Korean labour camp in Siberia, he just worked out how to get the tickets. Flying is cheaper, but if you ever want a while offline to de-stress from computers, it can be a great experience. My first time CouchSurfing was in Irkutsk on that trip!
