新聞特攻隊 柬埔寨專題
6/18(六) 1100、6/19(日) 1900

瘋狂的趕稿之後，總算完成了柬埔寨的專題，除了金邊投資現況、房市、觀光之外，還有一小段故事，很可惜不能放進專題的篇幅裡，那天晚上來到了北韓餐廳，業者不允許我們拍攝，反倒更引起了我的好奇心。

當地導遊告訴我，金邊共有三間北韓餐廳，裡頭的女服務生還要兼唱歌表演和煮飯上菜，全都是以實習生的名義到國外來，簽約兩到三年，在國外期間也不能外出，行動全部受到限制，當然也不可能使用手機和網路。

晚上大約7點半，表演開始了，北韓女孩臉上掛著笑容，用高亢的音調，唱了一手激昂的歌(我聽不懂，因為是韓文)，接著因為知道坐上賓有台灣人，唱了翁立友的堅持，接著又唱又跳了幾段，沒有驚人的舞技，但我想是來自北韓的身分，心裡因素反而讓客人目不轉睛。

座位上超過八成都是男生，看這些女孩、一邊忙著送菜、一會又要上台表演，還騰出注意力，一邊阻止偷拍，他們好忙呀！在一個小時的表演節目中，我心中湧起了許多疑問，他們薪資不曉得有多少、被限制不能用手機、網路是什麼生活，我應該會想把法脫逃吧!導遊這時又跟我說，要把他們娶回家，要給北韓政府一百萬美金，就可以"合法"結婚。

那他們為什麼不逃？很顯然的我又問了一個笨問題，因為家人都在北韓，一個人逃走，在家鄉的親人不知道會被怎麼對待。回到台灣後我忍不住查了一下，原來北韓在亞洲地區開了大約有130家"國營"餐廳，夾著極權國家的神秘感、女孩的青春，在餐廳載歌載舞的表演，竟然一年替北韓賺進了台幣十幾億的外匯。

最後離開前，有些客人忙著拉服務生合照，三推四請的好不容易才拉了一大群人一起合照。當我走出餐廳外，不自覺得深呼吸，我想我這習以為常的一口氣，對他們來說，大概是不可求的自由的味道吧！

Untold story
A few weeks ago, I had a trip to Cambodia, we were invited by a real estate agency who took us to a North Korea restaurant. And because photography is not permitted inside, this untold story would not be seen in my report on TV.

A dozen of young women, aged 20 maybe, who are train graduates of art colleges, but in the restaurant, they are waitress, cook and also performance on stage during service time. Our tourgide told me they are "interns" and having 3-year contract to go abroad, but it forbidden to have a cell phone and learn to use internet, they just shut down to outside the restaurant.

The show was begun with a Korean song with the sonorous singing skill, and followed by a Taiwanese song, especially dedicate to Taiwanese customers. The dance, their performance was not that great to be amazed, but I guess it where they came from, the mystery that trigger men's interests.

More of the customers are male and if you want to merry any of them, you have to pay one million USD to their government to get legal permission. Even love is not free in North Korea, haha.

Our tourgide also mentioned that they are about 130 restaurants like this in Asia, North Korea government is their big brother, through this dining organizations, the authority gets the chance to launder money and earn foreign currency, according to my source, they gain more than 100 million USD every year. In the meanwhile, if these girls try to run away, the families back in hometown would get interrogated, tortured or even executed.

Before we left, some customer made request to take picture with them, it took a while to gather several girls to be in the picture, cause they're really shy. When I step outside the restaurant, I took a deep breath that's the moment I realize it maybe the taste of freedom that they're longing to. Hope all the barred souls could be set free someday.

Kim Jong-un puts food under the microscope

While North Korea has long been a mysterious place to many people, Kim Jong-un, the leader of North Korea, is notorious for its oppressive style of governance.

North Korea, which borders South Korea and the north-east of China, is one of the very few Asian countries that have a closed economy. Without mouth-watering exotic foods and breathtaking tourist attractions, tourism is never a booming business in North Korea because of the strictly limited entry into the country. However, ironically, it is such a veil of secrecy that makes people more interested in this place, despite the lack of attractions in many other countries.

Recent news about Kim Jong-un revealed that he is a callous leader intolerant of mistakes and of people against him. Two months ago, a high-ranking official was executed in public with an anti-aircraft gun just because he dozed off in a meeting and talked back to Kim Jong-un. An anti-aircraft gun – as its name implies – is an extremely cold-blooded means of execution because it can rip human bodies apart.

Although Kim Jong-un can bump off whoever he wants to, he is living in fear of his life every day. Putting what he has to eat under the microscope is deplorable, especially when he has absolute control over whom to live and whom to die. If given freedom to choose, do you want a life free of fear or a life of authority yet also fear


microscope是「顯微鏡」，理科同學一定不會感到陌生，而put something under the microscope則取其「顯微鏡」的意思，整個phrase解作「認真地檢查…」。上文指金正恩真的用顯微鏡檢查食物，以防其他人下毒，因此標題put food under the microscope除了指金正恩檢查食物外，還指出他真的是透過顯微鏡來檢查。一個標題，雙重解釋。

10 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR DISASTER 福島第一原子力発電所事故

The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster was caused by the massive tsunami triggered by the Tohoku Earthquake on March 11th, 2011. This was a Level 7 nuclear event, comparable only to Chernobyl.

1. Unheeded Warning

Before the disaster even happened, there were industry experts who warned of mega tsunami-generating earthquakes hitting the area every 800 to 1100 years, with the next one being overdue. But those in charge dismissed such warnings.

2. No Good Robots

During the crisis at Fukushima, high radiation levels at the plant made it desperately hard for human workers to do what they needed to do.

Back in 2001, the Japanese had actually developed extremely capable robots that were deemed technical successes, but then a government task force concluded that a Chernobyl-scale disaster was never going to happen in Japan .

The program was shut down and the robots were dismantled or donated.

3. Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant

The Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant was the closest power plant to the earthquake epicentre, yet it successfully withstood the barrage.

While the Fukushima Plant had sea walls up to 5.7 meters, Onagawa had it up to 14 meters.

4. Wrongful Evacuation

Due to miscommunication between the evacuation authorities and the experts who were analysing the fallout, many residents were evacuated from pretty safe areas right INTO the radioactive plume.

5. Evacuation Deaths

More people were killed by the evacuation process in Fukushima
than by the actual earthquake and tsunami, the disaster itself.

People died of fatigue, exhaustion, illness, suicides - losing their homes, not knowing where they would end up, cramped evacuation centres; the whole ordeal was taxing.

6. Geiger-Counter Hobby

After the Fukushima disaster, random radiation hot spots were discovered in unexpected locations.

Radiation levels as high as those in the no-go zone were detected as far as some Tokyo suburbs. This prompted many Japanese residents to take up a new hobby - walking with Geiger-counters through their city or village in search for random radiation levels to report.

7. Animal Guardian

55 year old Naoto Matsumura is the only man brave enough to live in Fukushima’s no-go zone. After the initial evacuation, he returned back
to take care of the animals that were left behind. Not just his animals, but everyone’s.

8. Mutations

There were a few small scale Fukushima discoveries.

9. Human Radiation Effects

No one died from radiation exposure in Fukushima.

And contrary to a well-publicised, yet poorly-executed, study
that made the rounds in 2015, thyroid cancer rates in Fukushima children were actually lower than the national average.

10. Disobedient Hero

Masao Yoshida was the manager of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant and on March 15th 2011, he lead a brave group, now dubbed ‘The Fukushima 50’ into the radioactive trenches.

With cooling systems crippled and having run out of fresh water, Yoshida decided they would pump seawater straight from the ocean into the damaged reactors.

Then corporate headquarters (TEPCO) ordered him to stop the seawater injection. They didn’t want the corrosive seawater to permanently damage their reactors.

Feeling his superiors were inept for risking a colossal radioactive fallout, Yoshida disobeyed the direct order and continued with the seawater injection.

Many experts now agree that his actions on that day
arguably prevented a much greater catastrophe.
