DMZ

This is as far as my camera could see into the DMZ/North Korea.

The tour of the DMZ was pretty amazing, and I realized how ignorant I really am about the war here. Political leaders jockey for position and power and ego, but the reality comes down to the fact that many people in North Korea don't have enough to eat, have no way to get in touch with their family in the South, and have no way out. There was an amazing amount of propaganda about how far the countries have come and how close a peaceful reconciliation is, but today's news makes it pretty clear how accurate that is.

I'm almost as far away as you can get and still be on the same peninsula. But I did register with the US Embassy today.
