Joshua for the low low price of 2100$ you can visit N.Korea and walk arround with a small team of “minders ” who will tell you need to leave if you so much as knell beneath a statue of the Dear Leader to take a photo of it . Plus you’ll have the satisfaction of being one of the few sources of income for a government that refuses to open up to the world .

How much money does the “awesome” Pyongyang Project pay the North Korean government through visa fees, tour charges, hotel costs, inflated restaurant prices, etc.? Who are the North Koreans you’re allowed to “engage” with, and who pre-selects them? Why does this concept seem so familiar and suspicious to me?

Dan,

This looks like a fantastic program. I would love to attend, but unfortunately I have prior commitments. However, I see from your site that youâ€™re looking for volunteer English to Korean translators. I do a ton of English to Korean translation I would like to make my services available to you guys in any way possible.
