DMZ experience

---

On April 11th of this year I boarded a coach bus mixed with Americans, Canadians and Koreans and headed North only about 65 miles to reach.....the DMZ!
Interesting and fun mixed with a definite fear and adventure.
Here are the pictures (some not..so..ah...) you figure it out.
For those of you who don't know, the DMZ is the DeMilitarized Zone between the two Koreas.
Basically No Mans Land.
I never did actually set foot in North Korea, but I was able to see it and walk where North Korean soldiers had tried to invade in the past.

Take a look, but step lightly, there are still active land mines!

Ah.....

Dorset Station
The beginning of a train line that in the future, in hope, will eventually connect the two Koreas.

Empty station
very creepy
