A quick note this morning as starting to rush a bit with getting sorted. Yeterday I headed off on my own at 6.15 and caught a bus into the city and then a cab to join a tour to the DMZ. I managed all the connections which can be put down to Penny's meticulous planning and giving me suitabley filled out notes with things in Korean etc. The trip was really good. It reminded me of the time all those years ago Kim when we were in Berlin and looked at the wall. There is still a lot of tension and aniomosity from the Sth Koreans towards the Norths administration. We went down into one of the tunnels that the North had been doing after the peace treaty. Apparently it could have had 30000 across the border in an hour. Lots of barb wire and sentry posts etc. All just not 2008. They say they are wanting reunification but a lot of it is they are still worried re a possble invasion. It was all interesting stuff.
A bit of a stroll around Seoul before finding my train back to Suwon. After the guys got back from school we went out for a Thai meal. Back at their appartement we had a game of virtual golf which was a good giggle. It will be lunch with them soon then a market for me. Our final meal tonight and off to Singa in the morning.
Love to All

You are home so soon! I bet you are getting pretty excited about your special day too... not many more sleeps dad. I hope you can sleep on the plane, but you will probably be way too excited.
