Into the North...

[zenistic]

The name "demilitarized zone" is of course an oxymoron.

[SellTheBenefits]

Hey Baldy, less talking- more footage.

[CabhanListis]

Thank you for sharing this!

[Petrhrabal]

DMZ is the only place, where when you sneeze, half of world could blow up



[Phead128]

@Petrhrabal

....and since when was the Korean peninsula considered "half the world"? ? Korea was never worth WW3, or even anything remotely outside a regional proxy war.

[bodingoji]

@Phead128 Korea is the place where China and US actually 'face' in their allies land.

This place is the hottest melting spot, no doubt.

If theres a war between north and south korea that will easily take to the war between US and China

[Phead128]

@bodingoji

Did you even read my post? Korea isn't worth WW3. Wasn't worth WW3 in the first Korean War, neither will US and China get into any real war against each other outside the Korean peninsula.

[Abonanno24601]

thanks for the video! Great mini doc!

[MakeupGeekAddict]

@qirager !! i wanna tour korea sometime!!

[MrJingjong]

I was gonna ask you if you've been here, but I thought to just search your channel. I have always been fascinated by this place. Have you ever seen the Propaganda village?

[qiranger]

@MrJingjong You can see it from the observation platform. Hard to get a really good picture from the areas that they let to snap from though.

[buddyisreal23]

I don't know if you even answer these comments anymore but its worth a shot. How much does a trip like this cost?

[qiranger]

@buddyisreal23 It really depends. Some tours are cheap at W30,000 while some are more expensive. This one now, I believe, goes for W120,000.

[buddyisreal23]

@qiranger now is that in won?

[qiranger]

@buddyisreal23 Yes.

[TheRantingCabbie]

I know that technically they're still at war, but all these restrictions on where you can and cannot take pictures makes no sense. I mean really, nothing here is a big secret. I'm sure they have their reasons.

[a2r1v1i2s]

the n. korean problem will not end well.

[shakysyxx]

im with ya friend...i really wanna go to North Korea...even if not,going to the DMZ getting briefed would be cool :D

[Xentradi97]

Wow, imagine SK and NK were united and the railways were connected. The world will get even smaller. Train ride from South Korea to North to China to Russia to Europe! Imagine that... Behold a new Silk Road... Nay, a Steel Road.

[gnatecat]

There sure is a lot of military in a place deemed demilitarized

[adanilia]

this guy just talked too much.

[Aggiesgigem]

I read that you can travel into the DPRK through koryogroup :P

[qiranger]

@Aggiesgigem Not any more. Everything is locked down.

[2eltran]

@qiranger last year i went into north korea by train, but i used the agency korea konsult, and im not korean ;)

[ryanbeev]

@qiranger what about canadians?

[fifacod]

can i come with u on your next visit there?

[cptmuska]

there are 1000's of tunnels. not just 10 big ones like he says.

[etatauri]

sorry, i had to laugh a little when you said 'dragon fry' haha

[lightningcarrot]

reminds me of the time in cyprus when at the end of the southern side of ledra there was a wall and it had a small window and we could peer into the dead zone dividing north and south cyprus....

[choidj]

When they discovered an infiltration tunnel, my dad was in the army. He said they had to sleep ready to fight.

[limeslimey]

This video is excellent. Good to remind us

a bit of history. And yes, the guards at the end were spooky.

[Tamar1973]

Imagine taking a train from Pusan to Madrid?!? That'd be awesome.

[qiranger]

That it would!

[Fringe111]

I love these vids their so informative. Watching those guards in the end was sobbering to say the least.

[qiranger]

Glad you enjoy them!

[jacob7207]

Do the Gaesong city tour. You might like it. You actually go into North Korea and they stamp your passport. Far out man.

[qiranger]

I might have to do that.

[Flint133]

Did the tour a few times with friends. VERY interesting place to visit. Didn't have a video camera at the time.

Heaing of and thinking about the broken families is heartbreaking.

Great video Qiranger!

[qiranger]

That it is. I'd really like to see the halves put back together in my lifetime.

[Flint133]

It would be nice to see.

[SunshineBuddha]

very interesting. I love your fascination for the places of the world.

[qiranger]

Thanks mate!

[13thDimension]

wow...

amazing, and that last bit was chilling...

niCe dragonfly :P

[qiranger]

Glad you liked it!!!!

[13thDimension]

lOVed it

[markapsolon]

[qiranger]

You're welcome my friend!

[Bobo294]

wow this is very interesting, thanks for sharing your experience

[qiranger]

You are very welcome!

[parisblonde]

That was interesting thanks for sharing :)

[qiranger]

thanks Paris. Glad you enjoyed it!

[cozmikzen]

intense stuff

[qiranger]

Gld you enjoyed the show.

[Talljim01]

I remember that story, the axe murder incident. How impressed were you with the ROK soldiers that just stand there frozen. Thanks for this video, I havent seen that place since 1992.

[qiranger]

It was rather intense. I was even more impressed once the DPRK troops came out.

[GrahamAndFriends]

Very cool tour!

[qiranger]

Thanks mate!

[BrotherBearAZ]

JSA is also the title of a good Korean movie.

[qiranger]

That it is.

[FreekishlyRad]

Thats an amazing bit of history, the fact you share all of your adventures with us makes the expearience a learning expearience for everyone. The reunification of the two Koreas is such an important step for world peace.

[qiranger]

Glad you're enjoying things.

[MyPinkRainbow]

wow what a wonderful time you must be having , that was awesome , a once i a lifetime thing thanks so much for sharing that with all of us

[qiranger]

You're welcome. I really wish I could have shown more stuff from inside the tunnel.

[ericsurf6]

Thanks for sharing that! It brings back memories of my Army days when I visited the DMZ in 1984. Think the border will ever come down?

[qiranger]

I do. There is currently a SK plant in the North. They ship raw materials to the facility, employ NK workers, and then ship the product south. The average wage in NK is $30/mo and the SK employer pays $50/mo - there's already an improvement. Once Kim Jong Il is out of office, things will progress. Give it 20 years.

[boobtubious]

Very cool tour! I am glad you are there and able to show us these things. It's almost as good as being there!

[qiranger]

;-) Glad you enjoyed the show.

[Maiyanna]

This video flew by for me, didn't even realize it was almost 10 minutes. Very cool! Would be nice if in our lifetime, we see unification of the two Koreas.

:)

[qiranger]

I'm sure it will occur within our lifetime. Glad the video flew by for you.

[PhrostCope]

Qi=GOD

[vjm1234]

[qiranger]

[vjm1234]
