[MrRapidWien]

wie bist du den nach nord korea gekommen????

[utti1980]

@MrRapidWien: mit dem Zug.

[MrRapidWien]

@utti1980 von wien nach nordkorea mit dem zug ????

nicht geflogen?

[utti1980]

@MrRapidWien: Natürlich nicht hingeflogen. Sondern eben Wien Traisengasse - Pyongyang Hbf mit dem Zug (über Bratislava - Kiev - Moskau - Novosibirsk - Irkutsk - Khabaróvsk, insgesamt ca 13000 km).

Link zu meinem Reisebericht gibt es bei den Videodetails, ansonsten einfach nach 'vienna pyongyang train trip' googlen.

[MrRapidWien]

@utti1980 ok schon gelesen

aber hat es keine probleme zur nordkoreanischen grenze gegeben?

[utti1980]

@MrRapidWien: Eigentlich nicht, wir hatten ja gültige Visa. Details zum Grenzübertritt gibts im Reisebericht. Es war ja doch insofern spannend, da wir - ohne es den Nordkoreanern zu sagen - eine Grenbzübergang gewählt haben, über den in den letzten 15 Jahren wohl kaum (wenn überhaupt) westliche Touristen gefahren sind...

arn't there guards checking peoples pappers? according to -inside north korea- guards makes sure people inside the country cannot travle anywhere without permitts from officials, attempts ends...well in horrible consequences.

[jerzystachowiak]

Very interesting blog and videos. It must have been really dangerous to get into this horrifying country.

Lovely catenary, seems like an Soviet one from 1950-1960 I have the same catenary out my window (Old Russian railway) Such an lovely design.

Did you hide your camera or did you film from the window pointing at everyone?

[Ostruszak]

[magiclard]

Really awesome thanks for the share can this route still be taken?

[utti1980]

This route was not officially available to tourists when we took it, but we didn't care and just tried it. Fortunately it was a sucess and everything went well, but I can't guarantee that it would work a 2nd time...

you have to smile a lot on North Korean border patrol like our Austrian friend did :-))

amusing ride ,thanx again for sharing.!

[fucktronassbandit]

cool!

Plenty of planted fields. You ever see or smell livestock - like hogs or cattle? What about Kimchee pots? In South Korea every family has pots out back or on the roof. I don't see any in your pics...?

[utti1980]

Because I plan a trip to Iran later this year!!!

[jamesbrownontheroad]

Some of the clickety-clack sounds of the unwelded track on this video reminded me of the train ride into the zone, in Tarkovsky's 'Stalker' ... :)
