DMZ Tour I


Commanding General on Handbell 101

Today was our DMZ performance for the soldiers at Camp Bonifas. We all left the hotel at 8:30 this morning for the DMZ where we went down into an infiltration tunnel dug by North Korea in an attempt to attack South Korea. It was 350 meters under ground and 256 meters out of the 1500 approximate meters total. We had to wear hard hats so we didn't have to test the hardness of our heads against the low ceiling. Afterthat we went to Korean barbecue with more pork as there is no beef. Then we headed off to the JSA ( joint security area ) for a tour of the area and we even crossed the border into North Korea *gasps*. After our tour we went back to Camp Bonifas for our concert and then to have dinner with the soldiers who were a wonderful audience. And so ends our day of fun.
