Unification Observatory






 We visited the site where the initial invasion started between North Korea and South. The train involved in the battle sit's still waiting for the wall to come down.  The train had over 1000 amunition/bullet holes.  Families have been separated for just over 60 years. Families who were in North Korea at the time has no choice. They were there to stay. With this many families were and are still separated.
