Visiting North Korea? Draft a will and make funeral plans, State Department says

Americans can travel to North Korea, if they wish -- but it may just be a death wish, the U.S. State Department cautioned.

The State Department last week issued a stark warning to people setting out for the Hermit Kingdom, cautioning that anyone heading to the dangerous dictatorship should prepare for the possibility of not returning.

“The U.S. government is unable to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in North Korea as it does not have diplomatic or consular relations with North Korea,” the State Department published Wednesday on its website.

Those who wish to travel to North Korea must be approved for a special validation, which are handed out on “very limited circumstances.” U.S. travelers given the approval to experience Kim Jong Un’s regime should then prepare for the worst — including drafting a will and making funeral and property arrangements with family and friends.

Someone call Denis Rodman and Barack Obama. Book them a one way flight, first class of course.

North Korean postcards.......

“Wish you were here.....and I wasn’t!”

“What kind of wine goes with tree bark?”

“They say North Korea is a shithole. It’s not that good.”

“Watched a North Korean military awards ceremony. They gave a general the “Fill Out The Row” ribbon.”

“Saw a cute little North Korean girl carrying around a cat. I asked her what her kitty’s name was. She said “Dinner”.

“Went to a North Korean potato farm today. Asked them if the mounds in the fields were potatoes. They said, “They will be eventually.”.

“The U.S. government is unable to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in North Korea...”

The implication that the US provides emergency services, in any country, to US citizens is laughable. Maybe they can help with an evacuation. Maybe. I never travel with the US Fed as my emergency plan and neither should anyone else.

Near death and howling like a maniac... Geebus.

I second this approach...I lived overseas for three years, and learned you must have your own plan when SHTF.
