well thats fit i was thinking Ellis, but boys from my work that were there before said its a shitehole. got the locals sleeping on floors for bedspace, no tv in the rooms, 1 computer on the rig, and all local crew, but i think some of the drill crew have to be either yanks, ozzies or maybe if i am lucky scottish??

Oh dear, I'd hate to get stuck with a bunch of American drillers - that stupid Texas accent 
Arsed with that, can you not just stick with the North Sea?  Try get in the Norweigan sector, my mate had an X-box in his room

Visit north korea?
You can visit the Joint security area (in the DMZ) and piss about, try to cross the border lol 
It's the only place in korea where the north and south foot soilders stand meters away from each other. They have tours etc.

He won't get in North Korea.
And if he does, he'd best take a packed lunch, as there is a food crises there...
Stay south, u'll live longer...
