Rason to allow cellphones also!
We’ve just confirmed with Rason that tourist’s phones will also be allowed into the Rason Special Economic zone, however officially phones with GPS and satellite phones are still banned. Rason was the original testing ground when cellphones were re introduced and is supposed to be something of a playground for new policy so it’s not […]

Richie has just returned from our first group tour of the year and brings some pretty big news! At the moment the DPRK is saying you can bring phones into the country.

From January next year, trains are scheduled to run from Dandong to Pyongyang every day of the week, and vice versa too.

I spent some time looking at ferry options between the Dandong in China and Icheon in South Korea, and the North Korean Cruise from Rason to Mt. Kumgang, which got me thinking in a nautical way.

Day 3 Unfortunately Shan was ill in the morning- probably she thinks because the floor was so hot it went through the bed giving her a cold (we figured out how to turn the heated floors off after that which did help, sometimes they were too hot). So she missed some of the best scenery […]
