RelatedJapan PM vows to resolve abduction by holding talks with Kim "North Korea gets discussed on the news for days at a time, so maybe interest in the country has risen?" ventured one travel company employee in charge of trips to the isolated nation. According to JS Tours Enterprise, a travel agency specializing in North Korea based in Tokyo's Chuo Ward, it brokered the travel for around 50 people a year to North Korea in 2016 and 2017. However, as of May this year, there have already been 94 applications for tours. After the U.S.-North Korean summit on June 12, there have even been inquiries about group tours, and as of June 15, the total number of hopeful tourists is over 120 people. Roughly 70 percent of those people are between 20 and 49, the company says. There are only a few travel agencies in Japan that specialize in trips to North Korea, and JS Tours coordinates with travel companies in the isolated ทัวร์เกาหลี country, putting together tour itineraries to meet the interests of applicants and helping in the visa issuance process. "Since he (Kim Jong Un) said there would be no more missile launches (during his meetings with South Korea's Moon Jae-in and with U.S. President Donald Trump), the 'dangerous' image of North Korea has weakened a bit, and people who have always been interested in going are hoping to make the trip," said a JS Tours representative. One of those people is an 18-year-old first-year university student, who traveled to North Korea through the company last December for four days and three nights because he was interested in so-called "NK-Pop," or popular music in North Korea. "I wasn't able to freely ask questions, but I asked some junior high and high school students what their school life was like," he recalled. "I felt that they were really innocent, and if it weren't for their political ไป ทัวร์ เกาหลี views, then North Korea would be a country with a lot of wonderful sightseeing resources." Others interested in eating Pyongyang cold noodles and other cuisine, or people who are interested in riding on the North's old railways and airplanes, also make the trip to the hermit nation, the tour company explains.

There were 429 foreigners competing on Sunday, compared to more than 1,000 who raced in 2017. At its peak, over 5,000 Western tourists reportedly used to travel to North Korea annually, a fifth of whom were American. But the US imposed a travel ban last year after the death of Otto Warmbier, an American who was detained and held in North Korea for 17 months after travelling there on holiday. He returned to America in June 2017 in a coma and died shortly afterwards. The marathon started in the Kim Il-sung stadium before wending its way past major landmarks in North Korea's capital, such as Kim Il-sung Square and the new development project, Mirae Street. North Korean Ri Kang-bom won the men's full marathon in two hours, 12 minutes and 53 seconds. Image caption North Koreans turned out to cheer on competitors in Pyongyang "I'm glad that I was able to fulfil the expectations of the people," Mr Ri said.

While the extremist Buddhist views are not representative of most of Myanmars Buddhist clergy, radical monks still garner support for oppressive military action among the majority Buddhist population. By contrast, the Catholic pontiff, Pope Francis, has historically been a strong advocate for tolerance and the rights of the oppressed, including the Rohingya (despite missed opportunities to go further). Until recently, the highest-ranking Catholic clergyman in Myanmar also spoke out in defense of the Rohingya. Through my horror and shame at radical Buddhist currents in Myanmar, Burmese Buddhism is the bedrock of my religious and moral upbringing. Previously, I didnt fully appreciate how Burmese Buddhism like other organized religions is more than a spiritual institution; it is also a political one. Myanmar is almost90% Theravada Buddhist, and the sangha is a powerful player in the Burmese state. Monks are human beings with the ability to either challenge the prevailing social order (as they did in the 2007 Saffron Revolution ) or to reinforce it (as hardline monks in nationalist Buddhist organization Ma Ba Tha are doing now). Our faith, like other organized religions, can be twisted by political forces and bad actors to support exclusion and persecution instead of inclusion and tolerance.

Abbots have the power to single-handedly control their temples and the Sangha Supreme Council has total control over the entire monastic hierarchy throughout the country. There are no problems when good monks are in control. But scandals often emerge when temples are in the hands of abbots of dubious morality. These monks need to be "weeded out" from Thai Buddhism as a necessary reform measure.
From Beryl, Chris, and Debby? We've pulled together some of the key elements that explain why officials are so worried, and what damage Florence could cause. The storm's winds may have weakened in recent days - they are now at 110mph (175km/h) - but there are fears Florence's slow-moving nature could bring different problems. Forecasters say it could slow dramatically when it nears land and then linger until Saturday, moving unpredictably along the coast and bringing torrential rain. Up to 1.7 million people have been ordered to evacuate across South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia. A further 10 million people are now under some form of storm watch. So how are these people preparing? We spoke to those braced for Florence's looming arrival.

The manuscript is written in the ancient Khmer language.
