My friend was a engineer for a texas billionare yacht. Often times he wouldn't even be on the yacht and he'd have them meet in various places. He said it was kinda dull until when in his first month the guy in charge on the Yacht decided to do a pit stop in amsterdam and buy a shit load of shrooms, and weed and they set sail. Here they are sailing in the open ocean listening to awesome music high as a fucking kite.

He said at the point he fell in love with it. He spent 5 yrs on yachts.

A lot of stuff goes on that we don't know about, example:

In 2012 a large group of civil engineers, and other professionals to include US military members where sent to China with 1 million dollar check which was to be presented to the N. Korea Embassy in return for "a digging permit" in the Chosin reservoir area O yea and "Visa fees" even though no passports where to be stamped in the Chosin reservoir area. In addition three large container ships one filled to the brim with comm equipment, tents, generators, gasoline, diesel, heavy equipment etc and two filled with food stuffs where meant to be sent to N. Korea in return for the rights to recover US Marines who died in the battle fought in the Chosin reservoir. Also as a part of the deal EVERYTHING besides the people where to stay in N. Korea forever. To include the ships themselves.

The trip never happened because Jim Jung Ill passed away and the state department decided it was too risky to do the mission.

A similar mission was done in 2002. It ended when sat imagery indicated the N. Koreans where moving in more military personnel then agreed and the expedition force was rushed to the DMZ and let across the border...they had to leave the SUVs as the N. Koreans wouldn't let them drive across the border.

Another interesting tidbit about N. Korea

They have a black hawk. Yes the same black hawk that the US has. A pilot was conducting a training mission near the DMZ when he got lost after an unlucky series of failures he ended up flying something like 60 miles into N. Korea territory. He was forced to land, the US eventually secured his release by providing food aid.

The pilot and crew where treated well, no beatings or anything like that.

Culture is how you are raised, not your skin color.

1950s Seoul (which Dr. Kim remembers) was basically huts and mud streets.
