You are, as far as the DPRK is concerned, a guest of the country, which is why you don't pay for anything once you're there - it's all paid in advance before you arrive. The downside of all this is that there is no chance of you belending in or wandering off to take in the sights.

For example, as I wanted to buy chopsticks, my guide offered to provide them, for 10 Euros. I bought them in a shop for 3 Euros.
Other example: The guide wanted to take my clothes personally to the hotel laundry - for 18 Euros. The price of the hotel was only 8 Euros. Leave a Comment
