I would like to see how life is in North Korea although it looks the minders have a tight grip on what you can see.From the documentaries, it seems similar to cold war era Romania. One of the most interesting documentaries I've seen is "Crossing the Line" about a American defector to North Korea. After the Korean War ,six American soldiers defected . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Joseph_Dresnok https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/s...la&hsimp=yhs-001

North Korea is down near the bottom of my current travel list, along with Yemen, Libya and a few other places I'm in no hurry to get to. I guess I don't have a sense of adventure.

I didn't know this was such a big problem in Korea. Seems a little heavy handed, but perhaps they need to bring their misbehaving people in line.

Not letting alliance loyalties get in the way of a good deal, American Airlines (Oneworld) and Korea Airlines (Sky Team) have signed a codeshare agreement on the Seoul-to-Dallas/Ft Worth route that American recently began flying.   It's a win for...

There's always a new "undiscovered" place for vacations to be found (just the other day we had a piece about a former Albanian navy fortress that wants visitors) but this one is probably off the page for quite a few: Beach tours of North Korea, with...

Intrigued by the mysticism of monastic life, and curious about the day-to-day life of monks, Melissa Douglas spent several days in a Buddhist temple.

South Korea enacted some tough aviation laws that they hope will stop air rage

Melissa, what a fantastic piece! Great info told in a personal way. Exactly what TG is all about! It sounds like a Buddhist Temple stay is wonderful opportunity and the cost doesn't seem so bad either. Thanks for sharing and I'd love to try a stay myself one day.

Loved your blog and especially the humor in it! Hope to see more!

What a great travel experience and, I'm sure, the core of one of your favorite lifetime travel memories. Thanks for sharing your experience, and welcome to TravelGumbo!

What a cool experience!

Really cool! Seems very interesting to find out, and also to chill a bit from how fast we live sometimes. Do they take only a few people at a time, or were there groups there?

Nice! I've never heard of anything like it, but I'll definitely be looking into it now. Cheers for the info, and the great blog
