Fact for the week:

🇰🇵 Kim Jong Un visited Vladimir Putin this week in a city in the far east of Russia, but you've all read this somewhere. What you didn't read were the curiosities we bring you here. Kim prefers to travel the world in his train that reaches a maximum speed of 50km/h. And all for good reason: on his train you'll find a medical centre, a garage for his Mercedes limousine and even a karaoke room. To eat, the menu included live lobsters flown in by aeroplane, French wine and donkey meat. You don’t get this in a jet  🚅🦞
