    When we think of the places we'd rather not go, a Whole Foods on a Tuesday night before Thanksgiving or your great-grandparents' windowless basement apartment come to mind. And then there's also North Korea, bastion of human rights violations and the favored destination of one Dennis Rodman. If, for some reason, you've always wanted to plan your own trip to the "most secretive nation" in the world, but felt it was too complicated, well, now there's a 99-cent app for that. Yeah. But it doesn't come from the genius minds of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's propagandists. It hails from Uniquely.Travel, a London-based startup specializing in trips to difficult destinations and Magora Systems, a Russian software maker.
