Description I really like people watching... x) Just some people taking a break by the gate. 

So, spoiler alert--I went here, to the DMZ and... it's not the DMZ!!! I was like what the heck? I even paid to walk across a damn bridge to see it closer haha ----all the eye can see right here... (I had some deep thoughts thinking I was looking at North Korea, looking at North Korean guards and cars in distance lol) is South Korea, a few miles away from the border. Yeah, it makes sense that it was not the actual border (beautiful farmland tho!) but it was advertised to be THE border! XD 
Oh well. I did get to go see the real place though, that was really cool. BUT I didn't see anything because the poor smog was so bad. (Props to SK though because as soon as my class left, they released legislation to start getting rid of the smog--talk about a quick turn around!) (another note, a lot of my pictures look out of focus... it's the smog, not me) 

More pictures to come!

Makes sense since the DMZ is practically filled with military personnel. Probably don't want civilians getting close to their bases.

Right, one would think! I do know that on the actual DMZ and around it, there are no actual bases (those have to be a certain distance away) but it is controlled who goes by it. The biggest rule with that is image, you have to be careful with what you wear because from NK they can take pictures of people and use it for propaganda which is interesting.
