N. Korea's No. 2 leader visits Europe in March: sources
SEOUL, April 12 (Yonhap) -- North Korea's No. 2 leader made a secret trip to three European countries in March, but the purpose of his visit was not yet known, sources familiar with North Korean affairs said Sunday.
Jang Song-taek, North Korean leader Kim Jong-il's brother-in-law, made visits to France, Italy and Switzerland from early to mid-March, the sources said, without elaborating on the purpose.
Visit to France is probably about consulting with the French doctor who treated Kim. They speculate that visit to Italy is about the yacht Kim was trying to buy. Even now, Kim wants to buy a new yacht to replace the old one where he and Jimmy Carter were cruising around in Pyongyang's Daedong River. The payment to the new yacht was confiscated by international authorities. It is quite likely that he went there in an attempt to fix the problem.
Ping!
He wouldn't be thinking about docking it here would he?

For people who claim to have every good thing within their borders, they sure do like their foreign excursions.
Visiting all the well stocked Swiss bank accounts of the delightful ruling socialists of North Korea.
At home, the perpetually starving people resort to cannibalism of corpses, while the leftist rulers dine on imported caviar and cognac. A country that is the democrat party’s vision of utopia.
OH OH I feel sorry for anybody who is number two screw Chia Pet plans LOL!
POOR NUMBER TWO
