Now that's an experience. No guards or munitions there. Just a sad looking Ferris Wheel across the river from Dandong City. <br /><br />Looking forward to more postings about Korea, particularly about the people. What did you think about the people you met? Did you learn any Hangul? How about the food? What was your favorite?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-12293013344807123742009-06-27T17:10:54.241-04:002009-06-27T17:10:54.241-04:00Agreed.
