Mindful meoweler tips
Currency exchange
There are two different currencies on North Korea: the local won (KPW) and the foreigner-only convertible won (FCW). Make sure to exchange your money at official places and keep your receipts. Only use your FCW for selected items like souvenirs, food, and transportation.
Photos and communication
Taking pictures without permission can result in serious trouble. Always ask your guide before taking any photo, even if it's just a picture of your meal. Cell phone usage is restricted, and you won't be able to access the internet or call anyone outside the country. Sending postcards is a great way to communicate with your loved ones.
Dress code
North Korea enforces a strict dress code, and you'll need to dress modestly and conservatively. It's forbidden to wear revealing clothing, ripped jeans, or anything with slogans or images of the US flag. Also, avoid bringing anything red, as it's a sensitive color in North Korea.
