Touring the DMZ from the South consists of equal parts history and hysterical paranoia; indeed, those who have been fortunate enough to visit this area from both Koreas are always mystified with the endless parade of restrictions on the tours from the South. Tourists from the North face no dress code and are actually encouraged to take as many pictures as possible from a variety of different angles.
The DMZ (Korean Demilitarized Zone) is a strip of land running across the Korean Peninsula that serves as a buffer zone between North and South Korea. The DMZ cuts the Korean peninsula in half, crossing the 38th parallel on an angle with the west end of the DMZ lying south of the parallel and the east end lying north of it.
Most people, especially South Koreans are afraid of being near to it. When South Korean MPs open the conference room’s door to the North, they hold hands to avoid being pulled over the border!When visiting the DMZ, you might want to hold on tight.
