The DMZ

In the National Geographic website, there is an article on the Korean War and several pictures of South Koreans patrolling the DMZ. According to the caption under a particular picture, South Korean farmers own large rice farms that are just a few yards from the North Korean border. This is an area that is therefore heavily guarded by South Korean soldiers. What is more intersting is the fact that these farmers actually have picnics during the day for lunch, which I find to be very fascinating.
