I attend the Great Expeditions travel club meeting. While most members are a bit older, I have an affinity to these non-touristy travellers. Tonight’s feature: small town north Korea. This is certainly not the USO tour I experienced. No matter, propaganda is a given--whether it be for or against. The vignette shows a Korea that is isolated, barren of commerce, and devoid of pastimes.
I meet Max Jones, who turns out to be a 30 year old in a 13 year old’s body! He was instrumental in the release of American journalists, Laura Ling and Euna Lee in their recent detainment in North Korea. He even has his own Wikipedia page.
