C'mon in, the water's fine!


A garden spot it ain't.

I wonder if they have all-inclusive spots to stay at?

You know what? I bet it'd be a great place for weight-loss resorts and camps for us fuller-figured folks!

My idea first!!

North Korea says it will allow more U.S. tourists


BEIJING (AP) - North Korea said Wednesday it will begin to allow in more American tourists after years of heavy restrictions on visits to the isolate country, according a tour operator.

The United States has never had diplomatic relations with North Korea since the Korean War ended in a truce, not a peace treaty. More recently, tensions have remained high over the North's nuclear program.

Only about 2,000 tourists from the U.S. have visited since the country opened to Western tourism in 1987, according to the founder of a China-based tour group that says it has taken most of those visitors into the isolated country.

But the Koryo Group, which specializes in North Korea tourism, said it received an e-mail from the state-run Korea International Travel Company on Wednesday afternoon saying the country will accept more American tourists this year.
