Was aight. Went in 2014 with the same tour company that American lad that ended up arrested went with, albeit he went a few years after me. Obviously it was fully guided by tour guides, likely from the government, but they were friendly and had a laugh. I've posted some pictures below from the visit for you.

Amazing. I bet if you scratch off some of the paint on that 737 it says "Air Luton" underneath.

That bad boy is actually a Tupolev Tu-204-300, designed and manufactured in Russia!

In fairness it was a very smooth flight, and even though Koryo doesn't meet European safety standards, had no concerns at all about arriving in one piece.

Good friend of mine spent time in the Philippines back in like 2000; his wife was Philippina so they went to stay on one of the very small islands for like 2 months. Naturally, he was bored out of his mind, but there was one single outdoor bar on the Island. He took refuge in that every day...BUT...once the mayor of the Island realized there was this blond white kid staying on the island, the mayor requested that my buddy sing Karioke, and it was always the same song: Mustang Sally.

Because the bar was the only social thing to do, he would show up every day, and sure enough over the PA system, he would hear in broken, heavily-accented English: "Please attention, please attention, the mayor request Barkley Hoffman [<--my friend's name] kindly sing number one-seven-two "mustang sally" please, attention please" And everyone would look at him and he would have to go up and sing "mustang sally" for the mayor and other patrons.

Every single day. And not a different song. It was like he was in a David Lynch replay-hyperloop.

They take their karaoke VERY seriously over there.
