I thought of someplace interesting I've been. North Korea. I've been there twice. The first time I jumped over the 'line' in the little conference room on the DMZ. The second time I went on a cruise tour from the south to Keumgangsan. Not sure if they run those tours any more. Beautiful scenery. Incredibly surreal though. All the roads (lined with high fences and the odd armed soldier) were purpose built, as was the little tourist 'villiage' with restaurant, gift store (we got some snake liquor) and auditorium for the gymnasts (the Chinese ones are better). And the lovely fields with not a soul working in them. The median age of the people on our tour was about 70 I think, but we still all hiked to the top of the 'mountain'. Mum wanted to slack off but then she saw this little old lady (87) bent double but determined to get to the top.
