I am struggling tonight, so I will have to make this post short. I went to urgent care, and they decided I had Pneumonia. Waiting for my subscription to be done. Very weak and very short of breath.

I told you in my last post that I was going to continue telling you about my trip up to the DMZ, in South Korea.

When we finally got to the DMZ I was on my own. The courier had to deliver packages to several places.

I walked into what they called the bar. It was very tiny. About like you living room. The bar only had certain drinks, because they didn’t deliver to the area very much. The prices were very high because of that.

It was my day off so I ordered a drink. I sat there for a while and then, a soldier that was dressed in full combat gear, saw me and wondered if I want to go with him to the outpost. This would be the farthest you could go, and not cross into the DMZ.

I went with him and we stepped out onto a “Patio,” like spot with railings. We could see forever at this spot. He wondered if I could see the buildings on the other side, and I said just barley.

He then handed me some very powerful binoculars. He said take a look. I did, and I saw a North Korean guard looking back at me through his binoculars.

I asked the soldier if I should wave at him. The soldier said, “Hell no! That guy would rather see you dead.”

Lesson learned!
