I just came back from the de-militarized zone between North and South Korea, and it was an interesting trip. To think that this location has more land mines per square meter than any other is a little un-nerving.
I visited Dongducheon and saw all the notes and sad stories of the families that were caught up in this conflict, and how they just wanted to visit with each other. Then we went to the observatory and saw the DMZ itself, followed by a walk down to the tunnels.
The thing that makes this a little more appropriate is the current "war games" that are being acted out by the USA and the South Koreans. This and North Korea wanting to test fire a missle. Indeed it will be an interesting few days here.

I wish we had more time to see the city. Your trip to the DMZ and Mr. Yun's lecture today were both very timely given the situation you described. I would like to hear more about your reactions, and thank you for posting.
