It'd be amusing if the commander from the North side saw me one day and on his side the next (as apparently he'll give us the grand tour).

Ooh, and one more thing, I have just read about free hotel rooms for flights over 8 hours via a quick Google search on the topic... anyone know which carriers/rules this applies to?

But, thanks for the reply anyways, it's of great help matey

I have South Korean stamps in my passport and it did not cause any issues when I traveled into the DPRK (in Pyongyang) The tour to the DMZ was far, far better from the North than from the South. From the South side there is lots of fear and paranoia. It is much freer from the North (eg no dress code, you are allowed to point and photograph anything).
