For anyone who has never been to the DMZ in Korea, it’s worth a visit. It’s been decades since I went, but when I was there the room that they use to meet had big North Korean guards on one side, hard-eyeing the big (The picked guys who were all like 6’5" or something) guards from the South. Like that feeling you get when you’re out at night and a couple guys start eyeing each other and you know shit is probably about to go down. That’s how it felt in the room. Like the guards were ready to start brawling at any second. It was very tense, weird, and surreal.
