ExChangeling: I forgot to take my desperate housewives for the north koreans...

Ooops! I haven't posted anything for a while.... I don't know why... maybe I have been busy...or just lazy.
Anyways. I went to DMZ(demilitarized zone) on Friday. DMZ is the area around 4km between north and south korea. It has fun to go there! Especially to tease my friends what they can or cannot do there or otherwise they get shot by north koreans.
We had to wake up 5am bacause we had to be in the USO base around 7 and the subway took almost an hour. Then it was 1 hour in a bus to the DMZ area. When we got there we had to change to another bus which was authorized to go to the area. We had to sign declaration forms and had a short video about the history of DMZ.
Then we went to the joint security area called Panmunjeom. This is the place where all negotiations are held. We got into the blue house and I got to see the tables that the negotiations are done. We heard that the north korea also does these tourist trips to the blue house and rarely you can see the north koreans in the same room as you. I saw only one north korean. He was a guard standing in front of north korean building.
We also went to some check points and saw the no return-bridge. The quides and solders were telling all this stories. For example one women solder had stepped on a mine few weeks before. Also how the north korean solders act, whiping their shoes to american flag and stepping on the negotiation tables...
Next stop was the third tunnel. There is four incursion tunnels found by south korea, but there is propably more that haven't been found yet. We went to the third one 1 600m long. After the tunnel we went to museum and watched another video. Took bus again to another observatorio. From there we could have seen alot using the binoculars, but the weather was too foggy. Final stop was lunch and the northest train/subway stop of south korea. I think there was information that a line from there would be built to transfer materials etc. to north korea.
