“Unforgettable experience”
The trip to DMZ was another experience that we can't forget. We all knew that Korea is divided into two but seeing the North Korea and walking through the underground tunnel that NK had digged struck us with realization that the tension still exists in this peninsula. It was stark contrast with the first day trip which we enjoyed modern Seoul and eerie and cold reality that the menace of War a few mile away. Thanks to Sally, we can have another great memory of Korea.
