So far we have been able to see several different landmarks in South Korea. One of the most memorable however was the Demilitarized Zone on the border of North and South Korea. To see all the barbwire, security, and emplacements set up to guard this small stretch of land emphasized the tension between the two countries. It was easy to see that both countries still considered the other a great threat. It made the conflict so much more real.

It was also clearly evident how the Communist government of North Korea had affected the country. Looking over the border there were very few trees on the mountains because over the years the people needing a way to heat their homes have cut them all down. While the slopes to the South are green and flourishing. It was interesting to see how both sides had the same people, the only difference being the amount of freedom each had.
