"US is empire of the devil": A visit to North Korea

He's a train hobbyist, a touch obsessed with timetables. He noticed that Moscow-Pyongyang routes were hypothetically opened. He secured a travel visa through the normal routes, and as it turned out, his visa was valid for any entrance to N. Korea.

As a result, he entered the DPRK through the Russian border. He was able to walk around in normal N. Korean train stations and talk to the locals, without any government guides or monitors.

The long term effects of such actions are often very hard to predict.

Heh, interesting. I was trying to figure out how North Korea would have gotten their hands on a copy of Windows. My guess is someone ran across the border to China and picked up a pirated copy..
