Before I begin this post, I would like to extend my deep appreciation for Jake to take the time to conduct this interview. He has been patient and kind enough to let me post some of his pictures of his trip along with some of his experiences. This is indeed a nice treat, and hope you readers enjoy this post.
Please note, some of the questions and answers were out of sync along with typos, so I proofread it the best I could, but I kept the questions and answers as exact as I conducted the interview. Jake will also approve of this posting, so he has final say as to what is said here. Again, I would like to extend my gratitude for such a request.
Without further ado…

Before I forget, if you are an avid Google Mapper (I love it), then you need to check out North Korean Economy Watch’s North Korea map. It looks pretty darn impressive and shows a lot of interesting spots that will have you hunting around for days.
Also, make sure to look at the travels on there as well. Lots of pictures for one and all to see. After all, it is not everyday folks get to see North Korea. (2004 trip and 2005 trip)
Lastly, there are some really high quality pics here. It is in Russian, and has travels to other places other than North Korea. It is well worth the look. Also check here and here.
Enjoy.
