In cell number 8 of the prison in Pyongyang, a few frozen and emaciated prisoners had to endure an additional torture: the pungent smell and wild screams of an untamed creature.

Have you ever travelled with someone you thought you really liked, only to see a different side of them as the trip progressed?
