Claude! said:The story is less interesting than it sounds. I lived in Korea for a couple of years as a kid while my dad was stationed there. We took a tour of the DMZ, which included a visit to a building, half in the North and half in the South, where the parties used to meet for negotiations. As part of the tour, we could go around the table and "across the border" into North Korea. I have a framed certificate of that somewhere; I'll see if I can dig it up.Green2Maroon said:Claude! said:
Been to North Korea
When and how did you pull that off? An American traveling there is far from routine.
Possibly not unique amongst this crew, but I've also ridden in a Cobra helicopter. Unrelated to my NK visit.
I regret not visiting the DMZ while in Korea. Would have been cool, but I hated being there, hated my unit, so I was drunk as much as possible. Did make some good friends though, and now that I'm not in I wouldn't mind going back and being able to actually explore and visit some stuff I wasn't able to before
