I wonder how that hack mayor of London will respond to this. Pretty embarrassing.

North Korea has opened its doors to Russian tourists, issuing a license for the first travel agency in Moscow to promise clients "full immersion" in the nation's culture and enjoyment "safer than an evening walk in London".

NKOREAN.RU, a Russian company licensed by North Korea's government, offers organized tours for groups of up to 10 people or individuals "to show the travelers the multi-faceted life of this most closed of countries".

Guests to North Korea must necessarily be "checked" before their trip and will always be accompanied by a guide who will monitor the "adequate behavior of the tourist and guarantee his safety." Pictures of strategic and military facilities are banned and long talks with locals "are not recommended".

North Korea has conducted two nuclear tests and dozens of missile tests since the beginning of last year, significantly raising tension on the heavily militarized Korean peninsula and in defiance of U.N. Security Council resolutions.
