Henry Marr's love affair with the more unusual parts of Asia began at the age of 18, when he spent a month mountaineering in Kazakhstan. After 2 years living in Ulaanbaatar in his early 20s he grudgingly settled back home in the UK, gaining employment for a tour operator specialising in promoting some of the less conventional travel destinations in Europe and Asia. Since the moment he first set foot in North Korea in 2005 Henry has become somewhat obsessed with the country, clocking up over 8 months of travels in more than 20 visits – including a fortnight for his honeymoon! When not travelling in or planning his next trip to North Korea, Henry is normally back at home endlessly being asked ‘what is it really like out there?' by almost everybody he meets. Hopefully this book will provide an answer to that question.
