Social Profile
Food & Drink: Reasonable restaurants can be found in the main towns and cooking is usually based on the staple food, rice. In hotels and restaurants it is better to stick to the Korean, Chinese or Japanese items on the menu as experience of Western and Russian cooking is limited. Eating out is arranged by the guide.
Nightlife: A night at the revolutionary opera provides a unique experience. There are also circuses and musical events of a high quality.
Special Events: For details of the major festivals and other special events celebrated in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in 2003 contact the National Tourism Administration of the DPRK (see Contact Addresses section ).
Social Conventions: Discretion and a low political profile are advised. Photography: It is strongly advised to ask permission before taking a photo. Photographs of Korean officials or guarded buildings should be avoided. Tipping: Officially frowned upon although some hotel staff may expect a tip.
