While visiting South Korea we booked an all day tour of the DMZ. Tours are available through the USO, but we did ours through Discover Seoul tours.

When told people we were going to Korea, almost everyone asked if we were going to North Korea. I always said no, but we ended up entering 10 feet into North Korea at the Joint Security Area in a conference room that spanned the dividing line between North and South Korea.

The tour also included a visit to a tunnel that the North Koreans had dug into South Korea. It was not very tall, so at 6 foot tall, I hit my head a few time. Good thing that we were all provide with a hard hat.

how interesting. I was station in Pusan korea 1975-76. did you visit Pusan? I also stood in the same room where you were where negotiantions take place

We did not make it out of the Seoul area. We did visit the museum and beach at Inchon. Small museum, but interesting. Nice day at the beach, but I was one of only a few people that took there shirt off at the beach.

I spent a night at thei inchon airport connecting to go to okinawa. Wanted to see Seoul and thought one day id go back, but right now with all thats going on and poor young Otto's treatment I dont care to ever set foot near the DMZ on either side of that peninsula. . <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/smashpc.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/smashpc.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/smashpc.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/smashpc.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/smashpc.gif" alt="" />
