#1 South Africa is a hell of lot more dangerous than Zimbabwe.

And nowhere in West Africa on list, which is surprising.

#3 It's a travel site, so it assumes there is a reason to want to visit the place (The Allure").

Still, I was surprised to see North Korea on the list...

#4 A few years back I met a group of railway enthuisiasts who had recently visited Pyonyang(sp) and toured its underground railway system.

They raved about the place.

#6 Raved about the system in "Pyongyang"? I believe you made a spelling error, its properly spelled "Potemkin".

#7 (1) List is from 2008.

#8 They raved about the place. Do they rave about everything? Or are they simply raving mad?

The actual number of countries I would visit nowadays is probably equal to the number of toes on a Batonka's foot.
