North Korean "Mass Games"

For anyone who might be interested in visiting North Korea, you should consider that the Koryo Group, which arranges many tours to the DPRK (including mine), has advised me that the Arirang "mass games," a highlight of any trip there, will cease at the end of September 2012 after having been presented for maybe three months per year since 2002 (except for 2006). This doesn't necessarily mean that the Arirang "mass games" won't be replaced next year by something equally spectacular. However, I would recommend checking with Koryo about this before making any decision about booking a trip there.
