One of our last trips in Korea was a visit to Aileen's hometown which is very near N. Korea. On our way there we did stop for a small hike and saw a beautiful Budha temple, including Budha's statue.

DMZ was created right after WWII when Soviet Union and United States made a boundary between their administration zone. This was one of the most intense front in an era of Cold War. There are numerous incidents where both sides lost there soldiers. S. Korea has discovered four tunnels so far that goes underneath DMZ. 2004 was the last year both sides stoped broadcasting their messages via loudspeakers located in DMZ. Lots of crazy things happened but it's sad to realize how many families were affected by this separation. With no knowledge what happened to their relatives/friends etc.
