A Glimpse of North Korea
So last 2016, I went to South Korea alone to explore one of my dream countries! I’m a huge fan of K-dramas and Korea has been on my bucket list since time immemorial. I got the chance to visit the Demilitarized Zone. It is a strip of land running across the Korean Peninsula . It is established by the provisions of the Korean Armistice Agreement to serve as a buffer zone between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) and the Republic of Korea (South Korea). The demilitarized zone (DMZ) is a border barrier that divides the Korean Peninsula roughly in half. It was created by agreement between North Korea, China and the United Nations in 1953. The DMZ is 250 kilometres (160 miles) long, and about 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) wide. (Thanks Wikipedia!) I was so excited to explore the DMZ. What will you do if there is an opportunity to see tiny part of North Korea?! Of course you will grab the opportunity. Was it safe? Yes! It is safe. DMZ is under United Nations
