On and off for the better part of 20 years, from postings in Tokyo, Moscow, Beijing and now Shanghai, I have been covering North Korea - to the extent that a journalist can cover a place he has actually never been to. Three times previously, I had applied for an official journalist's visa to do reporting in the North - to no avail.
