When North Koreans visit other countries for the Olympics, what stops some of them fleeing away into that host country?

You are living in the capital. Starvation? Well you have this shop reserved to the elite that is always well filled, but it’s true that last week they have no nutella. Infrastructure problem? Nah, your district has a bunch of technician working 24/24 for you. Dictatorship? Well it’s true there are stuff you shouldn’t do, but if you do daddy will just go plead with the ruler. It’s not like the kim would send an entire family of high qualification worker in a camps.

Well you got it. North korean that go to see olympic aren’t your average peasant. They are well placed people. Why would they flee north korea and lose everything?

How do I come out as queer to my best friend in a funny and stupid way?

The organization mean you’re not only on the top. EVERYONE in your family is on the top, and your friend too. If you born into one of these family, then your brother will become an high civil servant, your sis will become a journalist on the first channel, and your childhood friend will become in charge of foreign trade with australia.
