DMZ! 2


Steven, a US soldier, and me posing in front of a monument and North Korea.

A South Korean soldier. He stands like this to avoid incoming gun fire.

Another South Korean soldier.

The bridge of no return.

propaganda village.

It's named this because no one lives here and there is an extensive speaker system. It plays messages like, "Come to North Korea, the land of No taxes." Notice the flag. It is the biggest flag in the world. It's there to compete against the South Korean flag in a nearby village.

This is the entrance of the 3rd tunnel.

A monument dedicated to the "Ax murder event" that occurred when a group of soldiers from US and South Korea soldiers went unarmed on a routine tree trimming duty and North Korean brutally murdered them with Axes.
