Stop going to North Korea. If you do go to North Korea, don't be surprised when you don't come back!

^^^ I have to agree. Anyone with an American passport entering North Korea may as well put on the prison stripes immediately, because the authorities will charge you with stealing state secrets even if you just walk down the street.

How some people can go inside of N Korea? What kind of visa USA issue to them?

Not really an "American" but a U.S. Citizen. Just one of many who was born somewhere else and "became" an American, but hardly an "American".

No mention of this, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was there pimping for Jesus. If so, I think that makes him the third Korean-American arrested in N. Korea for that in the last five years. The State Department has no sympathy for this kind of thing and will likely make only a minimal effort to secure an early release.

Even if I could travel I surely wouldn't go to North Korea. Well, wait, I, I take that back. I want to check out those big hats the military members wear! They have giant hats! Seriously though, stay away from North Korea. Sounds like a sure trip to the iron bar hotel.

If you go to North Korea, be sure to convert people by leaving religious texts here and there. Alternately, you can steal stuff from hotels. They have a special program that allows you to stay longer.
Excellent post, lol. Let those idiots rot in jail.

Your country of citizenship doesn't issue you a visa so that you can leave -- at least not in modern democracies. It's the country you are entering that gives you permission to enter.

It is easy to visit China.

Probably model rocketeers.
