I tried to sneak pictures when I was walking ahead of the guide and when I went back to the bus before the rest of the group did. Generally there wasn’t much to sneak, you couldn’t take any photos while the bus was moving because, like I think I mentioned this in my post, there were soliders posted everywhere including in the empty fields. It has to be one of the most oddest trips I’ve done.

Absolutely fascinating – curious, how did you try to sneak the photos?

Wow, Security went through your photos? Fascinating! Did you feel a little bit like a spy ? Kidding aside, thanks for sharing your adventures in North Korea.

I visited Souel back in October, 2003. At the time, I had a chance to visit the DMZ, albeit on a guided tour. We were allowed to stand at the bridge and walk along the fence separating the two sides. Most of the group, however, didn’t share my curiosity. So I spent most of my time alone trying to get a sense of everything. But the town directly across our position was a fake. More of ghost town really. I couldn’t feel anything from that vantage point. Your trip sounds more like what I was looking for. I’m sure you really can’t put into words what you felt during those eight hours. A long time indeed.
