DMZ

Trip to the axis of evil. Tours are run by the US army. Guy leading tour says troops at the DMZ must score above average on physical and mental aptitude tests. Minimum stay for these guys is one year - to be tour guides. Tourist looking clueless with an evil-doer outside.

A new guy took over for part of the tour. He was terrified. Public speaking is more spooky than North Koreans.
Tough guy guarding the door to the North
Piece of concrete divides North from South. View from the North.

It's probably not worth the money to go on this tour. You get carted around on a bus to see things you can already see on youtube. The army guys are on a script and their jokes aren't that good.

Maybe the most interesting part was watching a propaganda video produced by the South as a primer on the DMZ and the 3rd Tunnel. Or Maybe it was just seeing part of Korea that wasn't under construction.
