North Koreans caught illegally fishing in German waters...

this story is bizarre on so many levels.

You Americans should also establish an embassy of NK on your soil - endless fun!

Despite years of being an evil dictator reports show that the former leader of North Korea is drinking and happy up in heaven, as the song says

Kim Jong merrily on high

So, Kim Jong il has died.

For those stupid people who don't keep up with current affairs, she was the leader of North Korea.

Interesting, that happened about 5km from where I live. Never even read the news, probably because the mentioned Berlin Newspapers are terrible tabloids.

As for the NK embassy: It is pretty close to where the Führerbunker used to be (Now a parking lot and a lawn where dogs take a crap. Gotta love the people of Berlin.) and is one of the uglier buildings in that neighbourhood. As for the birds and the flowers mentioned: We have had one of the warmest decembers since decades. Following directly on the driest november ever since weather data is recorded. Kinda understandable that flowers get confused. In fact some of the trees and flowers in the park near my appartment are showing first signs of colour, too. Probably a token of respect to my failing health, since I fear I might be coming down with a cold.

I have to admit that I didn't know that "he" was actually lady.

You always learn something new!

Apparently the UK has a North Korean embassy, I honestly didn't know.

This is it:

Looks like the local CIU

First image on my mind was that of a Northkorean trawler offcoast Helgoland.

Diplomatic staff of foreign embassies is said to abuse their immunity status quite often in Berlin, insiders say. Mostly, traffic offences, from jumping red traffic-lights over exceeding speed limits to parking where parking is not permitted. But also little rumbles anf fights in Berlin nightlife.

Imo immunity status should also apply to diplomatic activities, not covering offences of everyday regular laws. You stay in a foreign country, you follow its rules and laws. If you don't like it, stay away, or ask your government for another post in another country.
