#3 In Qingdao, China, a North Korean restaurant was forced to close for months because its staff absconded. Last week, the manager the Okryugwan in Nepal apparently fled to India with a stash of dollars that were supposed to be sent to the North.

I'm sure managing the local McDonalds is no picnic, but unlike the guys at Kimmie's Big Boy, at least "defection" isn't among the HR issues listed in the company handbook.
