Morzh,
I'm close enough to Russia (perhaps 200Km) that I often wish I could go visit. I think the closest city to me is Vladivostok. It's well within driving distance, unfortunately, much of that driving would be through the DPRK, and at least for the time being, that's not happening.
It's interesting that Asia Highway 1 (which is supposed to run from Tokyo to Istanbul, with part of the trip obviously by ferry) is supposed to go through the DPRK. One wonders about access to fuel and other services while traveling through a country that really doesn't even want foreigners there at all.
