      From everything I’ve read about DPRK, it kind of sounds like a time capsule of USSR in the 70s. Definitely should be worth visiting.

      I’ve read about visiting the DPRK; apparently they won’t stamp your passport because they know it’ll cause you problems when you leave (back to the states), and for non-Americans, they don’t get their passports stamped so they can visit the US without issues; at least I think this was the case, as I’m sure I read about that on a website dedicated to arranging tourist visits to the DPRK.

        Wait, those stamps actually effect travel? I thought they were like cute little “hey, you made it!” markers. Like a collection or something, I didn’t think you’d be penalized for having a stamp from a “bad” country…

            I will admit I don’t travel much, like, at all so I’ve never really experienced this. I’ve been questioned once before but I think the guy was just making conversation. I was visiting the states so maybe less suspicious than coming back from a non-friendly nation…

          AFAIK certain countries, like Indonesia, raise an issue if you have Israel stamp. It should be expected that a place so hellbent on everyone following their arbitrary rules as USA would also cause issues if you have a stamp from “bad country”

      As soon as I finally move to Russia and settle down, I’m planning on taking the trip there with my SO. It’s going to be great.
