A trip to the DMZ North Korea With My Whole Family
Posted on 2008-12-06 #

"I wanted to remind people that the division is not only two countries but the world. And visiting the DMZ; the view was spectacular, and a real sightseeing adventure, looking into the past, historically and hopefully looking into the future peacefully".
Category: Current Affairs: A visit to The DMZ in North Korea.

The DMZ (the demilitarized zone) above the 38th parallel between North Korea and South Korea. The DMZ stretches across the Korean Peninsula from East to West (155 miles).

Throughout the visit, we are constantly reminded not to take photos, and only at selected security stripped yellow line areas, photos are forbidden while in the tunnel. Heavy security is present.

The DMZ is a hot spot now cause of the CNN coverage of the present news on the North Korean nuclear threat, and US relations with North Korea’s leaders. Surely the DMZ has historical significance and is one of the many tourist attractions.

Being at the DMZ, and walking over the Freedom Bridge is a moment I will never forget, writing, the whole world should be one family.



Looking into the future peacefully.
