What do you guys know about wife brokers?
I have heard that there are brokers that bring women to China from North Korea, but the question is: "How?"
Another question is: "What is the market price for a bride?" There seem to be wildly varying opinions as to what the price should be.
Please PM me if you have any information. I might be interested.
DPRK, Paradies on Planet Earth
DPRK, "Paradies" as self descrided by North Koreans - or better said, they get educated that outside DPRK is hell, is from my point anything else than a location to monger. You can not unless there are some pre-conditions.
Access to DPRK and allowed to stay there have following people:
a) Tourists
b) NGO staff
c) Embassy staff
d) Biz staff for biz in or out DPRK
ad a) Tourist
This is something what I can not figure out why people are paying a bundle of money to go there. Maybe it's the magic of having a DPRK visa in the passport or the goal to get to know this country. Last thing you will not be able, they show you their show based on their ideology...nothing more. But, that's not topic of this forum...
You are under observation by your guides and other people. You don't see or feel this, but it is fact. No change to get into touch with "real" locals beside going shopping with your guide or "shown" people.
No chance to monger...unless you do it the hard way, try it and will leave the country faster as you came into.
b) NGO staff
I worked for one in DPRK for one year. We all were under observation, observed by our counterparts and others. We could move freely in Pyongyang and Nampo, but we often were asked "Who was with car xxx yesterday at yyy?" next day.
No chance to get into any closer contact with local girls. Our "Health Center" interior mainly were (and still are) hidden cams and they showed up when we came to close with one...
So, when you were lucky and found an attractive one within the NGO community, you could get what you wanted during your stay in paradies.
Otherwise you left paradies regularly for R&R, to Dandong (border city in China), Beijing or Thailand, if your NGO pay for it.
c) Embassy staff
There are embassies from Europe, many African countries and of course all varities of "Axis of Evil" countries. Impressive which varity of biz-cards you can collect there..."Military Attache of Iran, ... of Pakistan" and so on.
The staff of european embassies regularly left country to China (Beijing) or somewhere else. I only can imagine, that staff of "brother" countries, like Russia, China and from those countries doing big biz with DPRK (military biz) maybe have access to "original" DPRK SW. There were some rumors about it, but dealing with rumors were one of our daily duties.
d) Biz staff for biz in or out DPRK
Now, we are coming to the more interesting group. When you do biz with DPRK, selling or buying, and be invited from the regime, then the chance to get a "real" local SW is high, very high depending on kind of biz. When you buy from DPRK the chance is higher, because they want your money.
Doing biz can be done from China (Dandong) or started with one of their embassies around this globe. Especially when you do biz from China/Dandong and you are valuable biz partner, the chance to be invited is not bad when not having an US or South Korean passport.
Summary:
During my stay I never saw any chance to monger. My counterpart was always telling me that it is possible, but everything is possible from their point of view until you request it.
But, there are real beauties in DPRK. I saw less in Pyongyang, than on the countryside...but...far, far away from any touch. During my countriside visits I sometime got the impression, that my counterpart and driver enjoy the local "fruits" and leaving me alone in the dark, cold hotel.

The little bastard actually has some balls- take him out
Now that North Korea has tested a nuke, will the Hollywood Celebrities flock over there to meet Kim Jonge Il. I am sure he is a hero to them, just like Castro and Chavez.
It is time for Team america, world Police to take action... Don't just sit there Dubya, take a day off from Iraq and level this backwater country, level it to the ground. This guy will Hit Los Angeles with a nuke if his back is against the wall, he is fucking insane.....
I am sure that you euro's will be thrilled though. Someone else that can harm the United States. I am sure there is some high-fiving in te Government buildings in Paris, Rome and Brussels
If you have balls, be aggressive
Hey bros, I came up with this thread and found you all lock yr chastity belt for yr balls in NK.
North Korea is a land of beautiful women. From olden times gisaeng(guisha) from Pyongyang and Kanggye competed while the famous gisaeng Hwangjini came from Kaesong. Be brave and grasp the opportunity.
I worked there 5 years ago and tasted hamsuki(girl from Hamhung) and kaesuki (girl from kaesong).
Of course in Pyongyang better and safer to try Chinese students or tourists at Yanggakdo hotel.
I came to know that one Singaporean business man paid 1500 bucks for tasting north korean "bamggot"(flower at night) in Koryo hotel which I paid 5 Euro.
Guys, you might have more opportunities if you unlock your belt and provide some "appreciation" to your counterpart(interpreter or a guide).
