Korea: Day Two

Welcome to our second day in Korea. I continue to be amazed at the things I'm seeing. We started the day by hopping back on the bus for our gratuitous two hour bus ride. This time we went north to the Demilitarized Zone along the 38th Parallel. At first the experience was very much like I expected it to be. We traveled from a major population base into more and more farm land, we began to see some barracade kinds of equipment in certain places, and then we came to the military check point. We stopped. We waited. The soldiers (machine guns strapped to their backs) came on board and checked our passports and then sent us on our way. We made a hard left next to a sign warning people that this area was filled with landmines, and then we continued on toward the 3rd Tunnel.
