DAY-6: DMZ~

early in the morning, 
woke up around 7.15am,
after everything is done.
we meet up Su Youn at the subway station.
we got down at the Seoul station and meet the other EPs from the other LCs.
[EP means exchange participants]
[LC means local committee]
i met a lot of EPs here..
They are from Taiwan, China, Czech Republic, Iran and Turkey.
I finally found someone to talk in Chinese!!
I finally found someone to talk in Cantonese!!!
I finally found someone to talk in Hakka!!!
GREAT!!!
[though we still mix it up with english ><" ]
the Taiwanese guy, Wayne is being told that he look like a korean as well..
maybe because of his eyes.
and due to the same situation like me, 
funny thing happened on us,
right after we discuss about that.
an ajumma come to us and ask the directions to XXX.
LOL~
[ajumma is aunt in Hangul]
we just ask her to wait and drag Min to explain to her.
Goodness!! 
I think we can just pretend to be korean!
No one thought that i'm Malaysian.
Wayne said i look like Taiwanese as well..
Fine~
I'm a Korean+Japanese+Taiwanese!!! =)

After everyone reached,
we're moving to DMZ!!!!! 

about 1 and a half hours, 
we reached Imjingak.
It's a place near Imjingang River, where we had our lunch.
It's really HOT outside!
It's different from Malaysia.
the humidity here is low,
it's just very DRY.
this is SUMMER~~~

After lunch, we took a "shaky" bus to reach DMZ.
we saw armies everywhere.
they look so serious!!
Ela is so into them,
she said they look handsome.
for me, i would say they're kinda cool! 
=)
We went to the 3rd tunnel.
It's a tunnel that north korea used to invade the south korea.
It's 1635m in length,
2m width, and 2m height.
this is the largest between tunnels that they discovered.
down there, it's cold.
someone knocked their head as well.
but not me,
we bent our head walking inside the tunnel.
i know i'm short! ><"
anyway, nothing's inside actually.
It's blocked half way,
we cant go north korea!
Ohh, there's spring water down there,
there's a saying goes: 
after drinking spring water, wont be sick for 3 years.
believe it or not, 
i just tasted it!
=)
we're not allowed to take picture down there,
so, sorry! i cant share with you guys.
i just took some picture at the museum.

After the 3rd tunnel, we went to Dora Observatory.
it's a place to see the north korea by using binocular.
no camera is allowed, 
can't show you how it looks like.
it's actually very near.
but i saw nothing except the river, forest and some industry-like building.
standing there looking at the north korea,
i do imagine the war that happens years ago.
what if it happens now???!
[imagine yourself!]

Dorasan Station is next.
a station where a train railway is placed.
that a railway that used to link south korea and north korea. 
and now been restored.
the oldest railway in korea to connect with the other railway in Asia and Europe.

the best part comes,
the Pyeonghwa Nuri Park.
the place that i took lots of picture.
we tried their traditional games.
there's lot of windmills on the hills!!
it's so nice!!!!!!
love it~
with the strong winds and bright sun,
it's just BEAUTIFUL!!
after photos, we just wait for bus to go back to Seoul.
the bad thing is we waited the bus for 45 mins!!
under the hot sun!!

this trip was a bit rush but it's okay.
i had fun too!

i'm back safely! 

*****tomorrow is Sunday!! I'm free for whole day! Gonna rest well~ ^^ *****
