Whew! If you ever want to go to any of these non-touristic countries again, contact my son Rowan Beard at Young Pioneer Tours. He's living in Abu Dhabi and takes tours to Iran, Iraq, and all the Stans inc. Afghanistan and Pakistan. He's just taken people to Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan and Yemen to name a few. They go to places I don't really want to go to. I have been to North Korea though. :-)
