Episode 3: How Strict is North Korea? (What You Can and Can’t do in North Korea)

Episode 3: How Strict is North Korea? (What You Can and Can’t do in North Korea)

In this episode, I base it around one of your questions 'Can you bring your iPhone into North Korea'. I cover three main things; myth-busting what ISN'T banned in North Korea, and going over what IS banned, I then talk about the rules you have to follow on a tour to North Korea, before discussing the topic is it safe to visit North Korea...


If you think you know all the rules and what's banned and what isn't (or you've been before), then arguably the most interesting thing about this episode is all the little anecdotes I slip in... Did you know North Korea has the equivalent of android vs iPhone? I look back at that time I was very prepared to kick a customer off tour, and discuss why North Korea is safer than Liverpool (my hometown....).


At the end, I end with some questions sent in by you, the listeners! I'll try to keep this section up weekly so send in any questions you have and I'll try to answer them once a week! Or even base a whole episode on it, if you're lucky!!!
