A visit to the toy museum on the most heavily fortified border in the world

The day before Christmas Eve our school went out to a toy museum located right on the border with North Korea. I was so shocked about how close we were! Literally right on the border! Any way, I'll write about that a little later. Now about the museum...

This picture pretty much sums up the atmosphere that came from the kids knowing geographically where the museum was. They were pretty tense about any signs of aggression from the north which were quickly addressed with swift action and intimidation.


The kids love the museum. It was a lot of fun for us to and it had a coffee shop that made the best hot chocolate we've ever tasted ANYWHERE!

Lots of legos. These ones I thought were pretty cool and I guess I would think they were even cooler if I liked legos.


Now this kid on the floor is something else. He's around six years old and has perfect pronunciation. One of the cutest kids ever. He liked the floor.


I admired the fine decorations of the bus we traveled to the museum in. I don't think the kids appreciated it as much as me.


So here's a picture of THE fence that separates the two countries. In this location the actual geopolitical border is the body of water in the distance and the land on the other side is North Korea. At this location when it is quiet you can hear announcements on loud speakers from the north to its citizens and military. I've never seen so much razor wire in my life! Too bad it was so hazy. We could still see buildings in North Korea which was pretty cool.
