Aegibong Observatory

I've been here for over a month and haven't been able to think of anywhere to go (mainly because it's so crowded everywhere during the long weekend). So I signed up for a day trip with kkday. Alex and Hong were very thorough in explaining the historical background. It was the closest I've ever been to North Korea. The best part was that there was no forced shopping. The whole trip was incredibly rewarding. I gained a deeper understanding of inter-Korean relations. At the observatory, you can use a telescope to peek into the North Korean people and their living conditions. Many places are restricted areas, so taking photos isn't allowed, but they're all embedded in my head! I loved visiting the Third Tunnel (a tunnel secretly dug by North Korea to invade the South). It was a super workout, haha, but I wouldn't recommend it if you have weak knees, backs, or heart and lungs.
