WASHINGTON, May 16 (Reuters) - Americans who travel to North Korea despite ongoing warnings risk "unduly harsh sentences" for actions that would not be considered a crime in the United States, the U.S. State Department said in its latest travel warning on Monday.
The department, in a detailed warning against such travel, cautioned that at least 14 U.S. citizens have been detained in North Korea in the past 10 years and that American travelers should be aware that possessing any media criticizing the country could considered a crime.

Captain Obvious agrees.
Why anyone would want to visit N. Korea is beyond me.

Hey liberals! I hear North Korea is a liberals’ paradise. They are 100% communist. They don’t have electricity at night. No jobs. You have to obey the dictator or be killed. You’d be real happy there. Why don’t you go for a visit?

An American went to Pyongyang,
To show his support for Kim’s gang.
But Kim said without fail,
“Put that sucker in jail!
Dumb American? Surely he’ll hang!”

"They are 100% communist. They don’t have electricity at night. No jobs. You have to obey the dictator or be killed." To sum this up: If you're a North Korean living in North Korea you have no future at all. A life of oppression and drudgery is in front of you.
