North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un rarely leaves his country. But when he does, observers have noted some of his unusual travel habits. They include his insistence on having a “personal toilet” and bringing a special noodle machine from Pyongyang. Most world leaders travel by airplane, but much like his father and grandfather, Kim Jong-Un’s preferred mode of transportation is private train. Whenever Kim travels, as he did to China last month, three trains are needed: an advance security train, Kim’s train, and another train for bodyguards and supplies. Each carriage on Kim’s 90 high-security carriages is bulletproof, and with all the extra weight, the trains top out at just 37 miles per hour.
