Korea On Korea
As you lot may or may non know, simply about people telephone outcry upwards me "Korea". So, hither I am -- Korea inwards Korea.
How is it, you lot are wondering? Well, it's great. The conditions is a piffling scrap colder than it was inwards Bali. Here is a photograph of me final calendar week vs. me this week.
Today nosotros went to the DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) which is a 2 km (average) department betwixt North together with South Korea. After the war, when each side released their prisoners, they sent them over the Freedom bridge. Also, afterward, the North Koreans tried to dig tunnels nether the zone inwards social club to laid on the south. The Southerners get got establish several tunnels together with nosotros got to larn within i of them. We were non allowed to get got photos of the tunnels, but hither is i of the Freedom Bridge.
There is a lot of interesting history to locomote found. I am certain you lot in all probability know this already, but Korea was occupied past times the Japanese upwards until 1945. After this, they were struggling amongst their identity. Some people, who were backed past times the Soviet Union, were inwards favor of communism. Others wanted Democracy. The 2 sides split upwards together with nation of war broke out inwards 1950.
So today nosotros went to encounter where a lot of the fighting took place. It was a barren landscape. There were soldiers everywhere. We fifty-fifty saw simply about USA Army together with United Nations folks. It was a piffling scrap weird, existence together with then non-nonchalant inwards a house where in that location had been such strife inwards the past. I felt a piffling foreign nearly it.
Our guide, who was evidently from S. Korea, kept talking nearly how the N. Koreans are cannibals, every bit good every bit horrible people together with terrorists. I wonder what the floor is from the other side.
Have you lot always been to a previous nation of war zone? How did you lot experience nearly it? Did you lot relate to a greater extent than to i side than the other?
