Not true. When I was in Korea there were a lot of americans kidnapped by N. Korea. Uncle Sam just told their relatives they went AWOL.Maybe its just military people they kidnapped.How did you get away? They usually hold americans as hostages.I visited North Korea with my school few years ago. I went to some cities like Pyongyang, Wonsan and Kuwolsan.I've heard it's one of the worst places on Earth to live....
Honestly it doesn not seem so bad living here. People look "normal" and I didn't see many soldiers or policemen
Are you freaking serious? Americans go to North Korea all the time, and come back.
And she's not American.
I didnt know she wasnt american.
No, the only people they have arrested have been people who have done ridiculous things.
Otto Warmbier stole a propaganda poster. Now, in the west we'd see this as something harmless, however you don't go to North Korea in the knowledge that you are somehow free. You're not. You do what you're told at all times.
Kim Dong Chul was arrested for espionage. The details aren't so clear on this one.
Sandra Suh was deported for doing some dodgy stuff like taking photos where she wasn't allowed
Now, these are the ones from the last 2 1/2 years. Many Americans have been there in that time. It's costly, I'd considered going because I know some guy who works for a company that does tours there. But I can have a great long trip somewhere else for the same cost as a 3 day tour of North Korea.
