Korea trip in pictures

Monday, 3 September 2007

So, I finally got around to uploading all my Korea pictures. Come check them out! I’ll include a few here, too.

DMZ outpost
I’m amazed that something that looks so idyllic can actually be one of the most dangerous minefields in the world.

Posing with the guard
Here I am, posing with one of the guards. These are the extra-tall guards specially picked for the border.

Trying for some border pictures
At this outlook, we were only allowed to take pictures behind the yellow line, which had rather boring results. However, taking pictures of people jostling to get a border picture amused me greatly!

Another bell
A “peace bell” settled next to the border outlook station.

And remember that I mentioned my hair had ended up a rather violent shade of red? Well, here you can see it in its full glory, against a green background! (It’s faded down to normal by now, thank goodness.)
Maybe too red

Kj at the border
And here I am at the border itself, backed by all the guards on both sides. What a place to visit!
