Visiting Communist/Socialist Countries
I am interested in taking a tour of the various Communist/Socialist countries after University. What are some that you would recommend? This isn't merely a vacation, as I want to visit some museums and other historical landmarks.
I already have Russia planned, for the historical significance there.

I'd say it's damn important to go have a look at North Korea, to remind us just how bad things can go.
