5. Having unauthorized interaction with the local population
Don’t try to talk to the locals unless you’ve been told you can. Otherwise, you might be in huge trouble. Because of this rule, you miss out on a lot of experience, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Let’s see what’s next on our list of weird North Korean laws for tourists.
4. Exchanging currency with an unauthorized vendor
Visitors cannot use the national currency. This is a little weird because we’re used to going to places like Europe and getting money exchanged at the airport, but here instead of using the Won, you have to use USD, Euros, or Yans. You can’t buy much anyway, just some souvenirs and posters.
