So my best friend is visiting the demilitarized zone in South/North Korea in a couple of weeks. What the fuck, right? But apparently it's a thing. You can take tours of this area that civilians are not allowed to go to. There are 1 million or so soldiers on each side that line the entire boarder, electric fences, land mines etc.

If I was going to Korea I'd probably just go to the 10 best coffee shops and maybe an art museum or two, but you know, this is how my friend is. Let's do the weirdest thing possible.

She sent me her confirmation e-mail...hahaha

You must carry your passport on tour day.

  • When you arrive at Conference room, do not touch any equipment such as microphones or flags belonging to the communist side.

  • Do not speak with, make any gesture toward or in any way, approach, respond or make eye contact with personnel from the other side.

  • Casual clothes such as ripped jeans, sleeveless shirts, mini skirt, short pants, military cloth, and sandal(slippers) are not permitted in the tour area.

  • Shaggy or unkempt hair is not allowed either.

  • The cameras with over 90mm zooming lens are not allowed.

  • Children under 11 years are not allowed.

  • Tour time is flexible according to local circumstances.

  • Sometimes military or other official considerations prevent entry into the joint security area.

  • While on tour if any program cancelled according to unexpected local situation, no refund will be provided

SOUNDS LIKE A GRAND OLE TIME!

Actually to be quite honest if I had the 200 something dollars it took to go on that tour I'd probably do it too. I told her to get me something if there is a souvenir shop. You know like a Kim Jung Il napkin holder or something.
