No!!!! What does he expect?? He is in a nation full of midgits with slanty eyes and he is walking around with a nutjob mouthy 6ft 7'' black man with earring in his nose singing happy birthday to a dictator who plans nuclear war! Of course they are going to stand out!! |

Vice have done a few good ones. Went on a full tour of the country in one, in another one they accompanied Rodman on his first trip (haven't seen that one yet) & another one was about labour camps the north koreans run in Russia which was extremely odd, one or two were left abandoned & they were walking around them with a local police officer, the whole thing was like something straight out of a sci-fi film, by pure coincidence Kim jong il was at a meeting with either Putin or Medvedev cant remember which in the same region of Russia at the exact same time.

Don't really know what Matt was expecting but even a quick glance on here before he went and he would have read that foreigners don't go around unaccompanied in N Korea. I'll be surprised if there is a more bizarre story this year. |

Saw the Panorama, the one on Nat Geo but the best one was probably the Channel 4 one that was on a couple of months ago (or maybe more recently?). Had recorded it but only watched it over Christmas.

And weirder it gets, Paddy Power (according to their number 2 spokesperson) Gave Kim gifts consisting of a bottle of booze,a handbag and a baby dress. |

The American kid, Otto Warmbier, who was arrested last year at the airport by North Koreans (for trying to steal a North Korean flag) returned home last week in a coma. Sadly he passed away yesterday.
He was sentenced to 15 years hard labour for his "misdemeanour". The battering(s) he got turned him into a vegetable. So sad. It'll be a hard one for his parents to take. Edited by colemanY2K - 20 Jun 2017 at 7:27am |

Very sad story alright. I'd have grave reservations about going into North Korea as it is, I would absolutely 100% go nowhere near the place if I was travelling on a US passport however.

Only chatting bout this over the weetabix in the canteen there, why would any American in their right mind go to N Korea? Doesnt in anyway excuse what happened, you should be able to travel anywhere safely but the reality is such that you are literally taking your life in your hands as a yank.
In saying that, I'd love to go to N Korea

Marching around Pyongyang with a bag of cans singing about Kim Jong-un with the obligatory face masks of the glorious leader too.
