Two young French girls decide that they're going to "Run away and go to japan!" I can't read enough japanese to make any sense of the LiveDoor Article, and of course, online translation sucks, anyone know more about these crazy kids?

>>The pair assumed that “visa wouldn’t be necessary if you went by rail or sea” and intended to cross over to the Korean peninsula from Russia

HAHAHA, what, did they think kim jong il was going to just let them in?
