Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Seoul!

Our daughter (The Piglet) went a few years ago and we were so jealous. Your story just makes us want to go even more.

It is definitely sobering, which made it so strange how they tried to entertain us on the train!

I had no idea tours of the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea existed. You did such a fantastic job of describing what you experienced! And the photos are very descriptive in their own right.

I have also beeen to the DMZ in Vietnam. It’s quite sobering and eerie but a reminder of the outcome of war.

Yes, it was great to get to know her. And we had a great time that day and one other day when we spent some time together.

I agree! It’s something people SHOULD see. But I was disturbed by how it was packaged as fun and games.

I wasn’t originally planning to go either, till several people told me it was fascinating and I absolutely MUST go! It’s not like most tourist destinations, is it? We want to see beauty, culture, nature, etc. As for the unauthorized photos, at the moment I took them, I didn’t know it was unauthorized. In both cases I was told just after I took it.
