I was reading an article about a Korean-American tour guide getting arrested in North Korea for the alleged crime "trying to topple the government." When one of the people in the comments posed an interesting question that I couldn't really answer.
The article with the comments is here:http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/05/01/18007161-north-korea-sentences-detained-american-to-15-years-hard-labor#comments
It's not important for the discussion, though.
The comment asked: Why do people travel to countries they know are hostile to their home country when there's so many other places in the world? The rest of the comment is dumb, misinformed and can be forgotten. But I couldn't think of a good answer for it.
So, why do people, or why would you, want to travel to a country where there is a risk of getting arrested on false charges?
