Just got back from the Demilitarised Zone between the Koreas

God it's bleak.. and there's all you lot complaining about losing at Bristol!

Keep the faith; it'll all work out.

Stronger together and all that!

 

Are you with the forces?? Just been nosey like
I hope you haven't eaten any dog yet

 

I'm teaching out here.
Nah, couldn't eat dog; I've one at my parents!

 

Wow that sounds exciting. Take care of yourself out there and free any cats and dogs you see caged outside restaurants. Seen it on PETA videos and it's terrible

 

Did you go out there

to further your teaching korea? Sorry. How many times have you heard that.

 

That's the first time...



It's a good one!

 

My nephew and his wife spent a year teaching out there, came back middle of last year, they loved it.

 

Any decent Centre Forwards out there? nt

 

Not that I've seen, but I'll keep an eye out!

 

if you find a pile of Nylon sand bags,
i dropped them,some where near Panmunjon

 

Is it worth going?

It's on my list of places I'd like to go.

 

It's amazing, but not in the normal sightseeing way.
There's nothing like it anywhere in the world. An area where people haven't been in decades. Barbed wire and land mines everywhere. Soldiers, guns, watch towers and bleak landscape.
It's one of those places that puts everything else into perspective.
I'm here for another 11 months and I'll be going again, for a more in depth tour.
I'd love to hear and see the North Korean version, but it's neigh-on impossible if you already have a South Korean visa in your passport.
If you get the chance to come over and see it, then do.
I just stood and tried to take it all in.. It's so surreal!

 

Thanks Zodak, But i was there in 1952,when they got to know i was from Barnsley,that was it,shut up shop,
But if will,i would to pass on my regards to the Koreans you meet
and tell them i wish them well

 

I can't believe they are allowing you and Southy to teach English to kids, you can barely construct a sentence between the pair of you lads

 

Yeah, that's true.
I know nothing of English and speaking it correctly, at least, that's what everyone says!
