It's on the border with North Korea. It looked like a Korean rest stop, with bus parking, convenience stores, snack bars, but also with monuments, reflecting pools, even a little amusement park. The pool is in the shape of unified Korea. The landscape shot shows the rail line going over the river into North Korea. The wrecked train engine is from the early days of the war.<br /><br />There were fences with ribbons and banners, wishing peace and unity to the Korean people. And over the border I could hear automatic weapons shooting, as the Norks were having a live-fire exercise.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1dN9wvd0tNM/Sno99MYS1vI/AAAAAAAAAno/CEize-JXW9Y/s1600-h/Imjingak,+at+the+border+with+North+Korea+(12).jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 265px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1dN9wvd0tNM/Sno99MYS1vI/AAAAAAAAAno/CEize-JXW9Y/s400/Imjingak,+at+the+border+with+North+Korea+(12).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366670027469805298" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1dN9wvd0tNM/Sno98ov0IQI/AAAAAAAAAng/S-dUbmeSHhQ/s1600-h/Imjingak,+at+the+border+with+North+Korea+(5).jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 265px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1dN9wvd0tNM/Sno98ov0IQI/AAAAAAAAAng/S-dUbmeSHhQ/s400/Imjingak,+at+the+border+with+North+Korea+(5).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366670017904779522" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1dN9wvd0tNM/Sno98QrGZoI/AAAAAAAAAnY/qmM9tSVb0ew/s1600-h/Imjingak,+at+the+border+with+North+Korea+(7).jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 265px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1dN9wvd0tNM/Sno98QrGZoI/AAAAAAAAAnY/qmM9tSVb0ew/s400/Imjingak,+at+the+border+with+North+Korea+(7).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366670011442554498" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15772305-1136159355077489596?l=is-3.blogspot.com'/></div>The Sanity Inspectorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04808433661634318393noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15772305.post-9076746008066758022009-08-05T20:02:00.002-05:002009-08-05T20:15:07.538-05:00The harbor city of Mokpo; scenes of the harbor and of a garden on the grounds of a museum.
