They really just have no reason to let you in. Saudi Arabia does not need your tourist money, and they don't want western tourists coming in and stirring up trouble. Basically they just don't have any reason they need to let you in, so they don't give a shit.

It's much worse now, as most of the people who still have first hand familial relations in North Korea are very old. The Korean war ended 63 years ago. The actually family members that were split up won't be around much longer. That's really sad because even though Koreans view each other as family, there's a lot lost when there's nobody left with actual direct relationships across the border. There was another reunion last October, and most of those people knew it was probably the last time they'd see their relatives.

He absolutely robbed the store. Dorian Johnson confirmed it. He was not shot in the back (though there are some injuries which could possibly but unlikely been delivered from behind).

As for attacking the police, we just don't know. We might never know. However, the robbery does give some credence to the possibility, as the surveillance tape demonstrates that he was not some innocent, gentle little boy as the family and community attempted to portray him. Of course robbery is not a reason for shooting somebody, but it does speak to his character and changes the likelihood of the various stories surrounding the events. But again, the only one that knows for sure is the officer.

Never been to North Korea, but I live in Seoul, and I can answer this.

Yes, they have slightly diverged. Not in a way that would make them incomprehensible to the other nation, but small things such as spelling and some names have changed. Think of it like British English vs American English.

Things like the name that we romanize as "Lee". In South Korea, it is 이 (simply pronounced "Ee"), while in North Korea it is 리 (ㄹis the character for the r/l sound, so it would be something between "lee" and "ree"). Its mostly just small things like that that have changed.

Actually neither, lol. I grew up in the Midwest and moved to Seoul about 3 years ago. Canada is just a nickname I somehow picked up in High School and it stuck.
