The DMZ

Don't let the demilitarized part of DMZ fool you, this is one of the most heavily guarded borders in the world. The true demilitarized zone is the 4 km of land between North and South Korea which has been taken over by nature (while still riddled with landmines). Just outside of this zone are tanks, military bases, countless miles of barbed wire and yes, more land mines. Visits are only possible with bus tours, and we got to see a tunnel dug by the invading North and a look into North Korea from an observation point along the border.Read more

DMZ (border between the Korea's)
October 7, 2015 in North Korea ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
The most interesting part of my tour and so close to South Korea.
Picture 1: South Korean pavillon. As a guide said, it shows the materialistic attitude of South Korea.
Picture 2: North Korean and South Korean soldiers just meters away from each other.
Picture 3: South Korean soldiers observing us.
Picture 4: Handshake with a North Korean officer.
Picture 5: With a North Korean tour guide
Picture 6: With a Korean unificationist. Born in South Korea, he owns the American passport now and is allowed to enter North Korea. He tries to bring the two sides together and works as a "bridge builder" for both countries.Read more

Finally I'm back. After 6 months I'm standing at the same place, the border between North and South Korea but this time on the South side, looking towards the communist building I've been on.
The circle has completed and the most important part of all my travels in this life has been achieved.
The last picture shows the views from both sides.Read more

הגבול בין דרום לצפון קוריאה

הבניין האפור כבר נמצא בצפון.
אין גדר, ואפשר פשוט לרוץ, אבל כנראה שירו בך למוות באותו רגע.

המדים המפוקסלים של הדרום קוריאנים

זה נראה כאילו מישהו המעצב שלהם שלח את העיצוב בוואטסאפ וזה נשלח מפוקסל.
