**Malacandra** Since you are in the UK, you are probably unaware of an American TV show sketch which parodied “20,000 Leagues Under The Sea”. The show was “Saturday Night Live” and here is the transcript: > **[20,000 Leagues Under The Sea - SNL Transcripts Tonight](https://snltranscripts.jt.org/93/93qleagues.phtml)** > > 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea So, I was referencing the parody - hence the “Big Grin” smilie. (Just as you may have noticed others in this thread are talking about “more cowbell”. That is yet another “Saturday Night Live Sketch”.) > **[SNL Transcripts: Christopher Walken: 04/08/00: Behind The Music: Blue Oyster...](https://snltranscripts.jt.org/99/99pcowbell.phtml)** > >  Saturday Night Live Transcripts  Season 25: Episode 16Saturday Night Live - Christopher Walken - CowbellT-ShirtBuy at AllPosters.com (What if they used a 20,000 league cowbell? :eek: ) 😃 ---

Actually, the trip is suprisingly affordable. $1800 Euros plus $440 Beijing-Pyongyang-Beijing airfare plus wherever you are to Beijing airfare. Pretty much all inclusive. If the country didn’t creep me out quite as much as it does, I might consider it more carefully. Also, doesn’t the State Department have a thing or two to say about this?
