Free Friday

I'm on a free period, I have 2 every Friday between lessons. This one I've been using to search out our options for going into the DMZ on a tour. We can go right into Panmunjom, which is in the heart of the DMZ, and essenitally controlled by both sides.

They are so strict on what you have to wear, what you can and can't take, etc... No jeans, sports wear, sleevless clothing, military style clothes, sandals, the list goes on. If you are from prohibited countries then you are not allowed in, as you are crossing from South Korea, effectively into the North.

We plan to go next weekend, as it is something that we said we wanted to do before we came. When we have more time we will take a proper full trip into North Korea. It has to be done, just to say that you have been there. Vistied one of the, if not the, most closed off country in the world.

Well, it's the weekend again. I have 2 more lessons and that's it. We are off down to the Lotte Mart area for Disco Beer (see previous entry for explanation), with Ben, George and Katrine (I think that's the spelling), an American that Sam bumped into near to the school. She lives just behind the school. So she too is coming along. It should be a good night. Tomorrow is footie, or all things! So a fun packed weekend ahead.
