It's very rare that tourists attempt to travel to North Korea. When they do get there, most find it rather sterile and uninviting. But, it really depends on how you got there. This tale of two rail enthusiasts who blogged as they traveled across Russia and then, with the proper visas and permissions, continued on to Pyongyang, is really riveting, even if you're not a rail enthusiast. The pictures, some taken surreptitiously, are quite interesting. Read all the way through to the end.

My husband was hinting about what he wanted for our upcoming anniversary. He said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 200 in about 3 seconds.' I bought him a scale. And that's how the fight started.....

I asked my husband, 'Where do you want to go for our anniversary?' It warmed my heart to see his face melt in sweet appreciation. 'Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!' he said. So I suggested, 'How about the kitchen?' And that's how the fight started.....

My husband and I are watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to him and said, 'Do you want to have sex?' 'No,' he answered. I then said, 'Is that your final answer?' He didn't even look at me this time, simply saying 'Yes.' So I said, 'Then I'd like to phone a friend.' And that's how the fight started.....

I tried to talk my husband into buying a case of Miller Light for $14.95. Instead, he bought facial scrub for $7.95. I told him the beer would make him look better at night than the facial scrub. And that's how the fight started.....
