As we've previously mentioned, our plan is to head out as a group for the DMZ tour the day before the wedding (Friday - September 6). We've spoken with people and have decided on the full day tour at the following website referred to as DMZ Tour 2:
http://www.dmztours.com/seoul_dmz_tours.htm
It is a full day tour that costs about $80. This includes lunch.
There are some things to keep in mind for the tour, some of which is probably not to be expected. According to the website (link above):
- You must carry your passport on tour day.
- When you arrive at Conference room, do not touch any equipment such
as microphones or flags belonging to the communist side.- Do not speak with, make any gesture toward or in any way,
approach or respond to personnel from the other side.- Casual clothes such as ripped jeans, sleeveless shirts, mini skirt, short pants, military cloth, and sandal(slippers) are not permitted in the tour area. - Shaggy or unkempt hair is not allowed either.- The cameras with over 90mm zooming lens are not allowed. - Children under 11 years are not allowed.
- Tour time is flexible according to local circumstances.- Sometimes military or other official considerations prevent entry into the joint security area. - While on tour if any program cancelled according to unexpected local situation,
no refund will be provided.
While we aren't sure how strictly these are enforced, I would particularly worry about the 5th bullet if I were you Denis...
Quite a few people have confirmed that they want to go. If you do want to go and haven't let us know, please do as we want to book a minimum number soon.
