Thanks very much for this. It brings that very real history very much alive as reality. To see those two mountains and the tension you can almost see makes you realise the daily horror of it all; a graphic reminder of why we have a place there representing peace.

Hi, thanks for your interest!

I, like you, did not have too much interest in going to the DMZ but it certainly is impressive to experience one of the most heavily armed frontiers in the world. Thought-provoking...

Perhaps to get a true feel of Korea, it's important to travel beyond Gangnam and other "hot" tourist attractions although those certainly are part of modern Korea.

Have a wonderful Korean experience!
