📍DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) "DMZ - land of life, where wild animals live in peace."
Along with my fellow exchange students from around the world, we headed to the Demilitarized Zone on Friday, Nov 16. The tour included the following destinations: Imjingak, Dorasan Station, lunch at Unification Town, Dorasan Peace Park, Dora Observatory, The 3rd Tunnel. Although we did not get to visit Panmunjeom (Joint Security Area), we learned that in the near future, the guarding solders from both countries will no longer have to bare arms and the area will become free land with less restrictions..fingers crossed! I won't spoil the details because you should experience it yourself, the remaining traces of war and the tension that could be felt everywhere. Colorful parks were built to console the painful memories but somehow, it still feels depressing. A little of North Korea could be seen at different peaks, mountain ranges that remind me of home, but the people's life on the other side of the DMZ must be quite different from mine. Honestly, I am speechless and unsure of how to express it into words so I hope to deliver through the gallery above. Jiwon, Jason and Ha Eun, thank you so much for organizing this wonderful tour, being our translators and making it memorable! We truly appreciate everything you had done ❤️~ Humbly grateful for the privileges that I have today.
