On Traveling to North Korea.

28. Apparently, some woman in the US asked him to grab a souvenir

for her. "Please steal some sort of propaganda poster for me, won't you?" And, like an idiot, he did that. She's also somewhat responsible for what happened. I hope she knows that and it's weighing heavily on her right now.

I've traveled to many places, and before going to them, I've tried to learn what things I shouldn't do there. Stealing crap is always one of them. Everywhere.

I'm very sorry that young man died. It's terrible. But nobody should put themselves in that kind of risky situation. In many places, a "slap on the wrist" is not the punishment, like it is here in the US.
