Day 6: DMZ Tour

The tour of the DMZ turned out to be my favorite site visit by far. Not only was the area incredibly beautiful with amazing weather, it was so interesting to learn about the history between North and South Korea and get to see it for myself. It's a topic that continues to be relevant to this day, so I knew everything we saw was incredibly important to millions of people. The history between these countries is complex and has definitely shaped South Korean culture. I have a lot more empathy for people who have been personally or distantly affected by the Korean War.
