Fraggles83,

North Korea has been always threatening South Korea, and although this sounds most aggressive threat yet, I don%26#39;t think they will start war (I doubt they have enough money for that) I think you will be safe as long as you stay within your group and don%26#39;t provoke North Korean soldiers :)

Yes. Don%26#39;t worry about it. You%26#39;ll be fine...

Enjoy and take lots of pictures (when they say you can that is ... )

thanks for your replies :)
