Did I Dream It??

We just had a lovely night out with a few of our friends. A late dinner (as is always the case with us) and a few harmless drinks. Glad to report there was no scary No Ray Bang this evening but loads of reminicing and plans of more to come. There was nothing out of the ordinary until we got in the cab for the short ride home. Usually the cabbies are watching TV or have some Korean easy listening playing in the background. This one, however, was rocking out to none other than New Kids On The Block singing Step By Step. It was great! And yes, I still know every word.

We are off to the DMZ where we will literally sign our lives aways to catch a glimps of world history. After which (providing we make it through alive) we will park ourselves at a hotel which is sure to have a television with English channels and await Sunday for either a tour of a palace or a temple (still undecided). I'm sure I can squeeze in a little shopping, too!

Mom, I was really just kidding about that "making it out alive" part - we are told, and I quote, "You needn't worry too much, there has never been an incident involoving visitors to the area." See, we're fine.

De-militarized zone.

The De-Militarized Zone (as anonymous has mentioned)is the border between North and South Korea. Or as the brochure puts it: "The most fortified border on Earth that only Korea can offer." We'll see what it's like.

Bruce was just here and clued me in. Enjoy it - I saw it featured on Lonely Planet, and it looked pretty cool.

I left a comment last night and it's not here. Do you think the commies are on to you giving out important secrets?

I guess we can all tell that Carrie never watched MASH as a kid!

The missing comment seems to have happened to Carrie as well. I hope it hasn't been happening more than twice. We have no explanation why they don't show up, but don't let that discourage anyone from commenting.
