It is said that Kim Jong-il, former dictator of North Korea, had a fear of flying. For his foreign state visits, he rather took a train. No ordinary train, though. Since the carriages were bulletproof, they were heavy. Maximum speed was just around 60km/h. On board, Kim enjoyed fresh delicacies like lobster, french wine, and the company of female entertainers.
