Yes seriously, no word of a lie. I got in and out of Pyongyang no problem it's actually quite a short flight from Beijing aboard a Russian made plane. Amazingly Pyongyang had the most lax airport security anywhere I'd ever been in all my travel, and the North Korean tourist visa was one of the easiest tourist visas I ever got, the hardest part of that trip was actually getting in and out of Beijing - you have to go from Beijing if you want to go there.
It wasn't all just Pyongyang either, we got to go to Kaesong, and Sariwon which are cities a good bit south of Pyongyang.
I have to go to bed now, because I like to hit the gym before work in the mornings, but PM me and I'll send on a few photos if anyone wants.
