DMZ

Last thursday we went to the DMZ. It was really strange and surreal because it was at the same time a tourist attraction but also had armed guards and a very strict military atmosphere. There was even an amusement park for children. We were told that the red bridge had holes in it for guns in case the north came down the river. We also went into a tunnel that the north had dug, but cameras were not allowed. We were showed a propoganda film before entering that seemed to say that all was fine and the situation was completely peaceful and great. We got 107 feet from actually being on the other side of the DMZ before we hit a cement wall with landmines on the other side.
