While the idea of “North Korea customs” might

While the idea of “North Korea customs” might conjure intimidating imagery of strict, intense checks by stone-faced North Korea soldiers, most visitors to North Korea are struck by the reality that some of the first interactions they have with North Koreans either in Sinuiju coming on the train from Dandong or Pyongyang by flight from Beijing are quite different to their expectations, with a few quirks that surprise most travelers.

Greetings from #Australia! No, not 🇦🇺 with the 🦘, but the one in #Cuba's #Matanzas township 🇨🇺.
Though it might look like an ordinary sugar town, it has quite a revolutionary history, being the first town in Cuba to abolish slavery. It later served as Fidel Castro's base of operations during the #BayOfPigs Invasion. ¡Vinceremos!

#Naadam is the main cultural event of the year in Mongolia, and it's based around #archery, #horseriding, and #wrestling. Our July tour to the country will provide you with a chance to see this very special cultural event while also checking off the list of all activities #Mongolia is renowned for. You'll also get a chance to spend a few nights with a nomadic family in a Mongolian Ger.
Of course, it wouldn't be a #YPT tour without a visit to some massive communist monuments and political museums!
Book today to secure your spot on this wonderful journey!

We here at #YPT miss #Korea dearly. While we cannot enjoy #Pyongyang cold noodles with Taedonggang beer and northern soju, which some of us here maintain is far superior to its southern part, one of us, through studying recipes from the #DPRK and experimentation, figured out how to make #Pyongyang #coldnoodles somewhat decently (the visual presentation isn't as great as you'd get in Pyongyang, but we're not professional chefs here). It's been a while since we've had the real deal in Pyongyang, but the broth tastes pretty similar. Press F if you'd like a video tutorial on how to make Pyongyang cold noodles!
