DMZ



Last Sunday I was taken to the De-Militarized Zone by a friend who has good connections, it seems. I was treated as though I was a senior military officer and we got to see parts of the complex that are not usually open to casual visitors.



Then we had lunch at a (very) traditional Korean restaurant (this means sitting on the floor at a very low table trying not to drop too much food on your trousers!). The food was mostly fermented (So Kim-chee, beancurd, and many other little adventures).

This is the area at the back of the restaurant where the food is stored and matured!

You're on the DMZ, and all I'm thinking about is taking a bath in kimchee (oooh).

The connection who got you the tour is a former student?

Doesn't the chilli sting?

Yes, former student -- it's been interesting because my ex-students are all senior government officials!

Well, as I used to say about a friend who worked for the DOD here: glad you're on our side, anyway.

As for the chili, well, it could be interesting.
