Yesterday Francisco and I went to the DeMilitarized Zone, or DMZ between North and South Korea. The DMZ runs along the 38th parallel. Since 1953 there has been an armistice between the two countries, yet they are still considered at war. We had to sign a contract in case we got shot! Here are some pictures... The veiwing point at the border You have to stand behind the yellow line to take pictures...The briefing hallOur tour guide, we had to walk aroung in single fileThe blue buildings straddle the Border, that is North Korea in the back.
