Default Interested in a trip to North Korea?

Not a problem! North Korea wants YOU to visit! Yes, YOU! They've even set up a website where you can request such visits. What would you call such a website? Korean Friendship Association, obviously!

http://www.korea-dpr.com/

Non-US passport holder itinerary:

Fun Facts:

1. Kim Jong Il wants to be your friend.
QUOTE
This isn’t a regular tourist trip, but a cultural one where visitors are expected to interact and behave accordingly. A visitor joining the KFA Delegation is not treated as a tourist but as a friend of the DPRK, having access to places, information, insights and events not allowed for regular visitors.


2. Kim Jong Il does not discriminate (except for the passport thing):
QUOTE
The program was made to suit all ages and doesn't require special abilities or effort.


3. Michael Moore and Ted Koppel can't go.
QUOTE
Filmmakers, journalists or any other media-related person aren’t allowed to participate.


4. Kim Jong Il digs bowling.
QUOTE
The delegation will stay 8 days in the DPRK.

Visit the main monuments and museums of the capital (Juche Tower, Circus sshow, Metro System, Great People’s Study House, Korean war museum, Mansude, Arch of Triumph, Mangyongde Children’s palace,
Pueblo Spy ship, Kumsusan Memorial palace… etc.) NORTH TO Miohyang mountains, Buddhist temple of Pohyon, International Friendship Exhibition, SOUTH TO traditional city of Kaesong and Panmunjon (38th parallel), De-militarized Zone and Joint Security Area.WEST TO Nampo and sea barrage.

Attend celebrations for the Worker's Party of Korea Anniversary as well as Arirang Mass Gymnastics, biggest world extravaganza performed by more than 100.000 artists.

The delegation will include visits to government buildings, hospital, bowling, local restaurants and other
centres.

In some occasions we will have official meetings or visits that will require formal dressing.


5. Kim Jong Il doesn't like US dollars and there's a discount if you join the Korean Friendship Association card (now that's a card I'd love to have in my wallet):
QUOTE
Non-KFA members: 2350 EURO
KFA membership cardholders: 2250 EURO


6. Kim Jong Il is soooo not covering that bottle of soju you drank from the minibar at 1:30am:
QUOTE
Basically everything while in the DPRK apart of your personal souvenirs or extra drinks.


7. Kim Jong Il takes PayPal!
QUOTE
After receiving the reference number, access the webpage:
http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr.../index-outside
and pay 350 euro per person to the e-mail korea@korea-dpr.com with any major credit card by using the online system. This amount will be discounted from the total price specified before.


8. Kim Jong Il is not down with your cat, your pr0n, your disgusting American propaganda and your VISA:
QUOTE
Video-Camera, Plants, animals, drugs, explosives, weapons, any kind of pornography, mass printed propaganda, radio, wireless or satellite communicator (GPS), mobile phone (can be left at airport locker).

Credit Cards (Visa, AMEX, Master Card) are widely accepted in China for shopping, but cannot be used in the DPRK.


9. If you pring your cat, your pr0n, your disgusting American propaganda or your VISA, Kim Jong Il will get medieval on yo' ass:
QUOTE
Any participant that won't follow the regulations of the DPRK will be treated accordingly to its national law.


10. Both the US and North Korean government are now tracking your IP after clicking on that link.
