Call me crazy, but the main thing I wanted to do in Korea during my incredibly limited free time was to tour the
DMZ. This "no-man's-land," 160 miles long and about 2.5 miles wide, cuts the Korean peninsula roughly in half. It's also the most heavily militarized border in the world. I couldn't help but be reminded of pre-1989 Berlin.

The Bridge of No Return where POWs were exchanged.

I found the pictures very moving & quite sullen. What is the building that the soldier is guarding?
