Hi Kim, would certainly like to read your posts on North Korea as you write them. I’m not sure I’d say it’s dangerous so much as you have to be careful and follow the rules more that many other destinations.

I agree with you I think Dubai is really going to launch a good tourism industry in the area, Yemen included. Thanks and keep in touch!

It was amazing. Tourism is growing there and because the trip is a govt sanctioned “propoganda tour” you get to see the best of everything. I’m in the process of writing up the tales, so come by and visit. Not too sure what you mean by calling the place “dangerous” (and remember that the now-freed journalists admit to crossing the border (which on the river) without permission.
My unlikely travel destination is Yemen.

Times are still hard indeed for Angolans: dreadful roads, intermittent power, cholera, malaria, water shortages and land-mins all make life tough. But for travellers Angola is an untouched gem: pristine beaches and national parks, fabulous seafood, and – with a little care – it’s safe. And of course tourists bring much-needed revenue to wracked country.

I have say that I’d love to get to North Korea before the ultimate fall of the World’s last Stalinist dictatorship – all the accounts I’ve read are fascinating.
