This story describes the plight of an American tourist visiting North Korea. He arrived at immigration in North Korea, and tore up his visa while shouting that he had "come to the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) after choosing it as a shelter". What on earth did you think would happen? Which travel guide told you that North Koreans have a good sense of humour, are cool when you insult their country, and are happy to turn a blind eye to law breaking. Oh yes, and they all speak excellent English, right? Unless the DPRK are lying through their teeth about what happened, I don't see much basis for sympathy for this idiot's situation. | |
