The Border

Manage to get up early mornin despite the clubbin last night. Clubs here are super packed. Lots of people, lots of smoke. I had to leave early as I dislike the sandwich feel. Some stayed till 6 in the mornin. I wonder how they get the energy to do so.

Back to the main story. We went to the demilitarised zone (DMZ). It was actually a 4km zone between the North and South Korea where no weapons are allowed.

We first checked out the Imjingak Park.


Next, we headed off to the Dora observatory. Our hopes of seeing the Northen side was crashed due to the bad foggy weather. The humidity here in summer is crazy. Backhome no matter how humid it is, we still get to see far. Over here, u'll just see a smoke screen.


The most interestin part of this trip has to be the 3rd tunnel. It was actually built by North Korea to infiltrate the South. It failed and the South is now using it as a tourist attraction. Ingenius. Save cost and earn money. Haha. We took a pretty slow tram down to the tunnel. Felt like the slowest ever roller coaster. No pics to be posted as they do not allow camera. Sien.


Final stop is the Dora train station. A station where the train goes nowhere. Haha. They built this station waiting for unification. Will unification be better? Or are things better off the way that it is? I wonder.
