One indicator of a drop off in interest in the DPRK is the Facebook site for the DPRK football team in the world cup. There are three people linked to the site. I am wondering what the size of groups are that are going in. I am going to email each of my contacts in the US and Beijing to find out what the size of the groups are. I know one person here that cancelled due to rising tensions. Me - I want in during rising tensions. This is the time to go. Hey, the hotel will be empty. But wait, it is always empty!

Love the photo. Indeed, it is possible to get a photo with a traffic girl but man it is rare to do anything there. I am grateful for what I have seen that others have not but something so simple should be possible.

Kinda creepy-looking picture. She looks scared to death, uncomfortable. Look at her clenched hand. I betcha those injuries on his face are where she scratched him trying to fight him off. And why is her sleeve stained??

lol - he does look a bit lecherous in that picture, doesn't he? Never fear, I'm sure there were NK guides nearby watching out for her.

That picture gives me another great idea - they could have life-size cardboard cut-outs of traffic women for the tourists to pose with. They'd pay money to have a souvenir picture like that!

see if you can get a picture with a group of traffic girls. The more the better !
