North Korea

so i traveled to north korea today. very cool trip because i got to learn the history of the DMZ and go places where civilians cant go. you can see photos from my journey on my photo album. due to security reasons i was only allowed to take photos in selected locations. things i saw: joint security area, third incursion tunnel, villages in the DMZ, 'propaganda city.' it was surreal. i haven't felt like this since i was on the great wall. i actually got to see a real north korean. and they watched us everywhere we went. the history of the DMZ is very fascinating. you can get a glimpse of it at wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Demilitarized_Zone).
