DMZ

School offered us free trip to DMZ, so it was good opportunity to use it. Otherwise it would cost like 70-80 €. We had a meeting day before we left where they told us the weird rules. Rules were like how to act in there and what to wear.

The Korean Demilitarized Zone separates South and North Korea. This 4 kilometer wide area is the most heavily guarded places on earth. Soldiers in the picture were there to protect us if something happens, and those guys did not smile. When we saw the North Korean buildings surrounded by soldiers we did actually feel the tension between these two countries.

At our tour to DMZ we saw the North Korean Tunnel to South Koreas side. The tunnel had dynamite ready for exploding the tunnel down if someone tryes to use it.

On the DMZ tour we learned some interesting stuff like how North Korea always has to try show how it is better than south Korea. On DMZ you can see that North Korea does not even have trees because they have cut down to heat up accommodations.
