MOSCOW, June 10 (Xinhua) -- Direct international train service between Pyongyang, capital of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), and Moscow will resume on June 17, Russian Railways announced Tuesday via its official Telegram channel.

Additionally, passenger train service between Pyongyang and Khabarovsk in Russia's Far East is scheduled to resume on June 19.

The Pyongyang-Moscow route, which will operate twice a month, is currently the longest international train service in the world. The journey covers more than 10,000 kilometers and takes about eight days to complete.

Passenger train services between the DPRK and Russia were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic in February 2020.

Shit, that means I only need to buy 2 tickets if I'm fed up. One to Moscow, one to Pyongyang. I just have to barter with Kim that I'm useful, please let me stay, lol.

If you are an international student, I suppose that there is an option to stay. I have seen videos of plenty of students from China, Cuba and Russia staying there from the videos of Sally Yin -> https://xcancel.com/JustCherry__

Another option to stay in the DPRK will be to study this other person's book for answers:

That's what I have investigated so far in case anyone from Lemmygrad wants to give it a shot.
