This is really a great question, Cake. My first reaction was to respond with a smart-alecky, "Sure, if you call being imprisoned as a possible spy and not being a cute Asian woman whom former President Bill Clinton would spring for release . . . " I thought about it, however, and for the past ten years or so, we in the United States have been hearing "news" reports of the totalitarianism that the North Korean people are enduring, their stifled lifestyles, the starvation, repression, etc, etc, etc. I'd like to know for myself what the truth is. I realize that if it is as bad as the reports indicate, and if I were a toursist there, I'd most likely NEVER learn the real deal. But to be a "fly on the wall", so to speak, would be great. I'm really curious to know what things are like. In the 1980s, I spent time in South Korea as a US Marine, and some of the Southies are fervent in their fear/mistrust/hatred of the Northies. The conventional wisdom has it that many of the Northies are the same way about the Southies, too.

Yes. But I was going to answer no at first. It'd be nice to see what a REAL communist country is like firsthand. Because every communist regime seems to end up the same- in tatters. I'd expect a guaranteed return ticket. Ahnyong Haseyo Randy. I spent time in South Korea too.
