AMERICAN TOURISTS & NORTH KOREA

NK has taken another American tourist prisoner & that led me to wonder why any Americans go there given the State Department's warning:

North Korea Travel Warning

Last Updated: May 20, 2014


The Department of State strongly recommends against all travel by U.S. citizens to North Korea (Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or DPRK).  This replaces the Travel Warning for North Korea of November 19, 2013, to update information on the risk of arbitrary arrest and detention of U.S. citizens in North Korea.
