Questions about Far East Asia?
One day I'd like to tour Far East Asia including South Korea and Japan but I wanted to give North Korea a visit
1.Is North Korea dangerous for British and/or American people to visit ?
2.Do they sell fast food such as pizza, McDonald's etc in North Korea ?
3.Is there sports shops selling football (soccer) jerseys in North Korea ? I might buy a football (soccer) jersey of a local North Korean team/club while I'm there as a souvenir as I'm a huge football (soccer) fan.

The sitting government of North Korea does not recognise or obey international law, so in that sense, it's one of the most dangerous countries for travelers.
They do not support Western franchises at all. You cannot find any fast food chain outlet in the country, anywhere. Not one. But they do have their own chain restaurants, though most North Koreans can't afford to patronise them.
There are plenty of shops exclusively for tourists that sell all kinds of overpriced rubbish. If you want football jerseys go to the Silk Market in Beijing. The place is completely mad. You can buy any jersey in existence and barter with the vendor all day if you like. I must have bought at least a dozen when I was there years ago, and I got away with paying pennies on the dollar for some of them. You could likely get a North Korean national team jersey for a song. If you were to offer the seller $15 they'd likely agree.
