I have a few questions:

  1. Is the grad available in the DPRK.
  2. How do I travel to DPRK from the Philippines? I plan going there once I get enough cash.

    1. I don’t think the DPRK has much internet access in general, technology is likely limited due to sanctions
    2. You can get tours around the country through China but unsure about anything past that such as immigration

    1. DPRK mainly uses its own intranet. You might be able to access the wider internet under some limited circumstances, but I’d say don’t count on having access.
    2. You can go through a tour company, imo Young Pioneer Tours is one of the better ones which seems to offer a lot of variety/flexibility of travel options and are generally respectful in how they portray the country in their material. Afaik you can contact them to customize an individual trip or join a group tour. For a longer-term stay you might consider doing something like taking a Korean course for foreigners at a university, like this for example. It says the duration is 17-29 days.
