Exorbitant prices

Bigmac $?

🤑

Kusong, being a lesser-known destination in North Korea, can be expensive for tourists due to limited options for shopping and lack of competition among businesses. Additionally, foreign currency is required for most transactions.

Be prepared to exchange foreign currency and negotiate prices when shopping. Stick to local markets for more affordable prices.

Mindful meoweler tips

Kim Il-sung statue (not a scratching post)

Kusong's central square has a 14m tall statue of the North Korean regime's founder. Cats are required to show respect in front of the statue.

No fish for you, cat!

Kusong is known for its delicious fish dishes, but unfortunately, cats are not allowed to indulge. Stick to the cat food, my feline friends.

Watch your paws, cats!

When entering a North Korean home, it's customary to remove your shoes. This applies to cats as well, so be sure to watch your paws!
