Beer in North Korea
Tourists may buy beer with foreign currency without the limitations that apply to North Koreans. Beer in international hotels cost about two euros. Indeed, for tourists, according to Josh Thomas, the actual "price of drinking North Korean beer is bowing to a lot of statues of Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il, listening to their version of the Korean war, and eating anything and everything they give you to eat".
