Ep 6: Taking the Train/Plane into North Korea?! (What's it like?)

In this episode, I chat about what it's like entering North Korea - including the passport and customs check you can expect. I talk about the 24hr train to North Korea experience, as well as briefly touch on Air Koryo and the flight into North Korea. I also weigh up the positives (and negatives) of the train and plane to North Korea to help you choose which one is the right one for you. Do you dare take the train after this?!
