North Korea welcomes Americans?

Well this could actually be a good thing.  Presumably the NORKs think American tourism will create a more positive image for their beleaguered nation.  Although I think it more likely that exposure to Yanks in greater numbers might reveal to the populace the lie of propaganda regarding the American devils.

I’ve always (well since moving to the peninsula) had a perverse desire to see North Korea for myself.  It’s off limits for me of course, but after retirement, perhaps.  The problem I have is providing financial support to a corrupt, murderous and evil regime.  And that I might fail to refrain from calling it a corrupt, murderous and evil regime while visiting.

So maybe not.

  1. Ah but as you pointed out this could be a good thing. Here is your chance to act as an ambassador of goodwill-the model American far removed from their preconceived expectations. It would require diplomacy. You can’t talk bad about their government. However, you can be extremely diplomatic when you want to be. Hmmm perhaps this blog is your outlet since I’m sure you have to be oh so diplomatic at work.
