Thanks for the info ^ I'm an East Asia Studies student, and I've always felt a little odd writing about a country that I have not visited. The timing of the DPRK activity is interesting for me, because my area focus this term is the Koreas. Although I'm about 14 books and three dozen papers deep on North Korea, it would be nice to be on the ground (although I recognize that I would probably get a sanitized view). The most important thing for me is that I make a visit that is 100% sanctioned by the State Department with absolutely no funny business involved.
