I'm going to DPRK later this year.
I hope they behave until then.
1 Question, why?I hope they behave until then.
I've watched the viceland guide to North Korea, you'd have to be nuts to consider it.
Either you don't eat anything for the entire trip, or you do eat the local food and end up with a 30-foot tapeworm for company. Weight-loss guaranteed.
Obviously, you could also try doodling glasses and a moustache on a public portrait of the Dear Leader. 20 years in a labour camp will shed a few pounds as well.

I had actually booked to go in December 2016 but the Supreme Leader had been playing with his toys again so we cancelled.
Booked to go in October this year, together with South Korea and Beijing.
Also booked for a trip over Pyongyang in an Mi-17 (Mrs Whoami has bottled that part).

You will be fine, but if I may, one phrase that will really help you out on north (and south) korea..."nannen meegoo sarami anida."
(thats as close as I can remember it sounding (10 years since I was in NK or SK)
meaning, I am not American!

It's currently a moot point anyway as US citizens have been banned from travelling to the DPRK since last September.

Every tourist dollar goes directly towards funding an oppressive and brutal regime, military, nuclear tests, labour camps and more. I personally wouldn't be cool with my money being used in this way irrespective of how unique a travel destination it might be.

(the anida at the end is the negative part of it, saying nannen meegoo sarami would be saying you are american, so make sure you remember the anida!)
I assume going through china(is there a route from russia/SK now??), in which case they don't mind the yanks or brits. Always feel a bit of a celebrity there.
oh and last tip on the nationality thing. should someone hate britain. say you are from scotland. works every time. everyone loves sean connery.

It says on your passport where you were born, so you are screwed if you get a guard who hates the British/English. (the anida at the end is the negative part of it, saying nannen meegoo sarami would be saying you are american, so make sure you remember the anida!)
