North Korea to open beach resort as Kim Jong Un bets on tourism
-
Yes, which is why it's important for them to realize what they're getting themselves into. Did Warmbier deserve what happened to him? Absolutely not, but knowing what happened and still going over there to play tourist means you've understood, accepted and internalized the possible risk. I will reserve my tears for the many thousands of people who get into trouble through no fault of their own.
When i went to Singapore, people told me that they arrest you there if you spit on the street or litter and find just any kind of drugs on you.
I was like cool, i'm not doing all these things anyway and when i go somewhere i adjust myself to the country. Same goes for NK. You know where you are going, and even if the laws are stupid and no one deserves what he got, everyone who takes secret pictures or takes stuff they don't want you to can expect the worst. Personally i would love to go to see NK, and i wouldn't break any of their stupid laws, but i also don't trust them enough and assume they can and will jail you anyway if they really want to. -

Don't mind me wrong, but looking at what Dubai is doing, I am not surprised Kim thinks people can forget about NK reality for a nice beach.

Hah! Good fucking point! Only thing I guess is that Dubai has a wonnnderful propaganda team winning over the hearts and minds of Western audiences, while NK has synchronized communist dancing events.

Kim was educated in Europe, not like he's clueless about the outside world. Also, there's such a thing as "poverty tourism". (I forget the word.)

Imagine how silent and unpolluted NK is, ngl it would be a great vacation if not for the moral concerns

Dubai also is smack dab in the middle of “Oil Land”

I made my point that only a complete idiot would "vacation" in North Korea under it current political leadership.
You need to work on your reading comprehension then, because as I said:
OP's comment is clearly saying they currently won’t go there because of the political situation. That's why they said "BUT I'm not stupid". They are agreeing that it would be stupid to go there now, that's why their statement of wanting to go there is made conditional on a "but" that is false.
Like saying, "I love spicy food and I wish I could eat a whole ghost pepper at once, BUT I'm not stupid [implied: so I WON'T eat a whole ghost pepper at once]"

Damn, you're right. I wouldn't want to vacation anywhere that has a long history of atrocious civil rights abuses.

What kind of fucking idiot builds a highway between the hotels and the beach?
Thats the fucking stupidest thing I have ever seen in my life. Who ever thought that was a good idea should be shot. It couldn't be in a worse place.

Anyone traveling to Italy?! People shouldn’t forget that they were on the WRONG side of the war until Mussolini was gone! TRAITORS OF THE WORLD!

All true, but my point was that he's hardly been isolated in North Korea. He knows there's an outside world, and to your point, knows how rich it can be.
