Now that I'm no longer in Korea, I'll probably be using this blog instead.

DMZ

PEACE PARK, our first stop.



This is freedom bridge. It leads (except for the fence) to a guard house which watches over the bridge connecting North and South.


The bridge connecting North and South, behind barbed wire fences.

The bridge ends with a fence where people hang peace banners.

The banner with "Grace" intersecting "Peace" was left by the Mennonite church (of the same name) in Seoul. I believe they hung it up 3 years ago.


What is visible through the fence. The bridge then goes on to the right of the guard tower.


From Peace Park, we took a bus to various DMZ sites. We were told not to take pictures, but I snuck one from the bus. We took the bus to a cave (one of several) where North Korea attempted to tunnel into South Korea for a potential attack. SK intercepted it and blocked the cave. Inside the cave we were again told not to take pictures, but I took some with my phone.
