As someone who actually went to the North Korean side before the American travel ban, it’s amazing how strict it is on the south with photography at the DMZ. The North Korean side will typically let you take photos of anything at the DMZ.
I appreciate that you have a mixture of activities in your travels. This one today is quite sad knowing that families are still divided by this border, and the way of life is so drastically different depending on which side you’re living on. I think your travels can teach people the highs and lows of humanity, the beautiful and not so beautiful parts of the world, and the history and culture of people. Overall, this is what makes travelling so special. It’s a journey that changes you in a positive way, to be more reflective, balanced, compassionate and wise.
We totally agree that traveling has so much potential for learning. We love it so much for the knowledge we gain every day that we get to explore a new place. Thank you for pointing out how valuable sharing this can be 😊
I never went on the tour. Back when the US Army had a sector of the DMZ to patrol, I was stationed at Camp Liberty Bell. The closest camp to N. Korea. We patrolled in the winter. We had to memorize the rout to the south thru the mine field. But we knew we would not make it out. The mountains are granite, they have artillery that can reach Seoul.
I was stationed at the dmz in 1967 during the secret second korean war 1966 to 1969 . Camp liberty bell attack on the 28th August 1967 five Kia and twenty right wounded . It is beyond me that they visit the dmz like this we were always under small arms fire as occasional bullets zipping by . Unbelievable
I went on your trip in July 22 and to a different observation point (2nd Infiltration Tunnel) a couple of weeks ago (29th March 24). Think your trip gets closer to the action as it's actually in the DMZ. I may have remembered incorrectly but that large town in NK (Kaesadong?) is reputedly uninhabited and there are never any lights at night. Great to see again through your vlog - very memorable and thought provoking trip. Many thanks.
When I was stationed there in 91 in the Army, we were stationed around Camp Casey. We went on a special tour, and it included going down to where they did the piece talks and in the room we were able to cross the line and got to stand in North Korea while N Korean soldiers looked through the widow at you while you were in there.
Hi Mico and Nicole ...it's Martin from Bristol...I asked you a load of questions on your live broadcast a while ago.( Good surfer Mico ) As another person here said . I think you two are really different to most in you tube...very varied content both lots of fun...to serious ...like today.....thankyou! Hope you have a great day wherever you are now ! Ha
Thanks so much Martin! We really appreciate hearing that as we work hard to shake up our content and keep it interesting for those who watch lots of our videos 😀😊
👍 I'm in Miri (Borneo island) Malaysia heading to the DMZ on my 4 month Australia to Japan holiday. Someone gave me the impression that a North Korean beer was a possibility? Cheers🍺
I did the DMZ tour twice, once in winter and another in summer both uniquely beautiful. Do they still offer the Blue House tour? You can cross the border into North Korea
Is DMZ open to tourists now? As a Chinese, I want to travel, but North Korea has not opened up yet. I would like to ask if Panmunjom on the South Korean side is open for visits.
Hey Nicole and Mico, Think about this. It is probably correct to assume that the majority of people watching this are from the U.S., and the U.S. we don't use the metric system so when you refer to meters and kilometers it is hard to comprehend. If you're going to go to the trouble of making videos like this, why don't you consider converting these measurements to the U.S. standard? I personally refuse to convert.
We’re Canadians and we use the metric system (most of the time) and so does most of the world but thanks for the suggestion. I’m curious why anyone would refuse to convert though?
Your travel videos are way more interesting than other channels, like other people just review flight, foods, hotels or beaches.
Happy to hear that you enjoy them so much! We do our best to keep our content as varied as possible 😊

Awesome video 🤩 Really appreciate how you explain what it’s like 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed!
Such an interesting area with the mix of different activities and areas so close together. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Our pleasure! Thanks so much 😁
On our bucket list!
Awesome!

So glad we could help you reminisce about your own trip to the DMZ. We took a lot away from our visit and it sounds like you did as well!
Wonderful video and really content oriented. Keep it up. It was nice.
Imagine if there was just 1 big happy Korea. Would be so nice to be able to visit the whole country.

Awesome video guys
Did you learn about the 50,000 plus Canadian soldiers who served there?
Do you mind sharing which tour company you went with? So far I can only find tours that make you leave and the butt crack of dawn lol
Thanks for the insights! Are Americans also allowed to enter the DMZ or do you know which nationalities are prohibited?
great video guys :) loved it!
Thanks you guys! Hope you’re travels are going great as well 😊
Kim jung un country. South Vietnam was invaded by North. It failed to repel communism. But glad south Korea can defend the border well

i think it might still be closed because of the Travis King issue.
Great video! I've heard that they keep your passport when you're in the DMZ, is this true?
where did you book the tour?
Hey there we booked it through Klook online. It was pretty easy and the tour was great!
How to get this bus tour? Thank you
영상이 아름다워요 구독~~😊
영상이 아름다워요 구독~~😊
Can u remember who the tour was through?
Is the tour child friendly?
Is DMZ open to tourists now? As a Chinese, I want to travel, but North Korea has not opened up yet. I would like to ask if Panmunjom on the South Korean side is open for visits.
Tell me if you get answered
How much did u pay for the tour and what tour company was it. ?
We used Klook to make the booking! I honestly don't remember the price but it may have changed so we suggest checking the app for the current price :)

AMAZING VIDEO!!!!!! Would you recommend the group tour? It looks like there are more expensive private tours as well. Worth it?
Yes, definitely! The group tour was awesome and the guide was so good. Absolutely enjoyed it 😄
@@nicoleandmico Thank you! I just booked my trip and tour for the end of this year
Awesome! I've always been fascinated by North Korea.
Sounds like a visit to the DMZ may be in your future!
@@nicoleandmico Boy I wish.
❤

@nicoleandmico I'm from the US and I don't mind that you use the metric system.
