On my Air Koryo flight to North Korea, a souvenir cart made its way down the aisle, filled with unique North Korean memorabilia and snacks available for purchase in USD. What surprised me the most was the currency system used by foreign visitors—while we received special tourist North Korean bills, we were strictly forbidden from using or taking local currency with us. This system mirrors what you might find in Cuba with their dual currencies for locals and tourists. From famous North Korean dolls to unusual medicines claiming to cure just about everything, this was definitely an eye-opening experience! Watch as I dive deeper into these fascinating aspects of North Korean tourism.
