Adventures in North Korea: Jurgis Gets Smacked on the Hand by His Government Appointed Monitor

We’ve all been there…you’re touring a huge cavernous museum in North Korea with a few close friends when you make a small joke under your breath about how that morning’s breakfast of rice and kimchi is making you a little more gassy than usual.

All of a sudden, WHACK!!, your state-mandated minder smacks you hard on the wrist like some kind of sadistic nun. WTF! You think, upset at the sudden wake-up call. But one look in her eyes lets you know she is more pissed than you.

You have offended Dear Leader with your oafish behavior, and this will not be tolerated in the Hermit Kingdom.

OK, so maybe you’ve never personally had this experience, but it’s another day in the life of international adventurer and good friend of SOFREP Jurgis Polujanskas.

Listen to him tell the story below. You’ll be glad you did.
