There isn't a section on Dave's for North Korea. I think it would be interesting to hear about people teaching/living/traveling there.

Would North Korea be in this (South) Korean section of the board or in the International section of the board?

Let me know.

Thanks

There aren't enough teachers to warrant their own NK forum, but travel sites have their own forums. See e.g.:

Are there quite a few EFL teachers living and working in North Korea? I didn't think that there was much of a EFL market there since everyone is so poor.

I know for Japanese language lessons, they just scoot over to Hokkaido or Akita and kidnap a few Japanese teachers.

Why even bother wondering about this? There's a handful of Canadians working for North Korea.

I often wonder exactly how much Internet access your average North Korean actually has. Well, maybe not average, the average North Korean probably has zero Internet access. The average out of whatever passes for upper-middle class in North Korea would be more interesting.

The real question is whether they have better or worse access to porn than the ROK.
