Why is it difficult for South Korea to take breakthrough actions?

Though US president leaves radical comments as usual, it's difficult for South Korea to imitate that attitude. It's because US is so far from North Korea that they don't have to be careful of military actions by North Korea. Even if threat of intercontinental ballistic missiles is approaching the US territory, it's still difficult to target US mainland.
On the other hand, South Korea is neighboring to North Korea and is always exposed to threat of North Korea.
So, we should take it for granted that the tactics of South Korea is more sophisticated than US's.

Why don't you visit destinations recovering its safety?

Palestinian territories and Egypt will remain its growth of tourists popularity.
But, Northern Mariana Islands will be out of the ranking, due to North Korea's threat that intercontinental ballistic missile will hit Guam after flying over Japan.

I'm not sure the reason why Vietnam and Mongolia are getting more and more tourists so rapidly, though these countries didn't have any news discouraging tourists to visit.
If it's increasing simply because of advertisement or increasing tourist attractions, these countries should be proud of it.

I'm glad to hear that. It means safety in Baghdad is now high enough to build metro lines.
About ten years ago, Baghdad was famous as battlefield of domestic war. Suicide explosion was reported frequently.

In the near future, Baghdad will be an option for me to enjoy train rides.

Why don't you pay attention to chemicals when flooding?

Chemical industries must keep water prohibitive substance away from flooding.
And, substance which explodes under room temperaure must be kept in air-conditioned room or box.
All of them mean "Hazardous chemicals and emergency power suppliers must be kept on higher floor to avoid flooding."

It's one of the rules taught by this hurricane.

Why doesn't no one take drastic actions on Hajj accidents?

Mecca Metro has been constructed to transport pilgrims. And, one section has already been inaugurated.
But, even if public transportation between Hajj points is well prepared, it's not possible to prevent accidents at each point unless an authority restrict entry.

Kunming Metro had had strange subway until Kunming Metro Line 3 opened. It's Kunming Metro Line 6. It starts from the city's representative airport. But, it terminates at Eastern Coach Terminal, out of the city's downtown. And, East Coach Terminal used to have no connection with the other rails.

But, with the opening of Kunming Metro Line 3, passengers can visit downtown of Kunming only by rail.
