Yes, I went on a CYTS tour (all in Chinese) in 2010. It's a fascinating country. Everything I love is illegal! (Jesus and technology). At the time, there wasn't even anything on Google Maps for NK. It was actually my most luxurious holiday. Usually I'm a very low-budget traveller, so having to stay in a 4 star hotel (Yanggakdo) in Pyongyang was luxurious. The Arirang mass games was also very impressive: a 400x50 pixel display, made of children. We could talk for hours about NK labour camps in Siberia (I went to the entry gate for one of them and almost got arrested), NK refugees in China and South Korea (some of the happiest people I ever met), Liberty in North Korea movie screenings of Seoul Train, Crossing, The Hiding ... get in touch if you'd like to chat more about this fascinating country!
