Presidents are also people, and they may have their own weaknesses or habits, which over time become part of their image.



If Vladimir Putin is known for his love of sports and a healthy lifestyle, Donald Trump - for hamburgers and Coca-Cola, then the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is famous for his trips on a personal armored train, which he prefers over any other means of transport.

The trip of the head of the DPRK to Vietnamese Hanoi was not an exception, where on February 27-28 he should meet with the US president.

TASS news agency, citing a diplomatic source who wished to remain anonymous, reports that DPRK State Council Chairman Kim Jong-un departed from Pyongyang Railway Station in Hanoi on a personal armored train on Saturday afternoon.

According to the source, the North Korean leader will make it all the way to Hanoi, transit through the territory of China.

The tradition of traveling on an armored train was laid by the father of the current leader, Kim Jong Il, who traveled to Russia three times in 2001, 2002, 2011.

Kin Jong Il himself claimed that the train ride allows you to see with your own eyes the life of a foreign country. However, the media believe that father Kim Jong-un suffered from a fear of flying on an airplane - aerophobia.
