But, for almost a decade, there are a few travel agents (google it!) who've been offering all-inclusive tours to the DPRK for about 1500 USD a week. Off course you are attached to a couple of N.K. minders but traveling in a group means they can't focus on everybody all the time, making it possible to photograph between the lines of the official tourist programme...

Sorry, but this is not true. I've lived in Pyongyang for 5 years and even in '90s people were wearing not only uniforms. Clothes are available at "dollar-shops" and tailor shops. In the '80s they even had blue jeans. Quote: “There are no other clothes.”
