Border trip

The tour was very tiring, but it's worth seeing for those interested. First, you go to a swaying bridge, then you see the underground tunnels between North and South Korea, then you go to the border point and observe from above, you see the safe zone, and finally you see the only building left from North Korea. The biggest problem with the tour was that they picked us up at 6:30 in the morning, and we only managed to have lunch around 2:30 PM on the way back. Although tiring, it was informative. Our guide Andrew was very friendly, pleasant, cheerful and informative. I think the best part of the tour was being on his team. Have a pleasant trip, everyone.
