Travel At Your Own Risk - Part II


The detention of an American tourist, Kenneth Bae, since last year did not deter an American Korean War veteran, Merrill Newman, from recently visiting North Korea. He was on a tour of North Korea!!?? However, this vacation has turned into a nightmare since Newman was detained at the airport. Even if the purpose of his trip was an innocent desire to visit a country that had a great impact on his life many years ago,  there is no valid reasons why any Americans should think of North Korea as a wonderful vacation spot. So, curiosity continues as to why Americans would consider visiting not only North Korea but other countries mentioned in Part I of this topic.
