I Saw North Korea from Aegibong Peace Ecopark! | Travelogue

Hello from Aegibong Peace Ecopark!   A photo stop at the entrance  They say some views change your perspective, but the view from Aegibong Peace Ecopark is on a whole different level. Standing right at the border, there is a unique mix of heavy history and stunning modern architecture that you really have to see to believe. I finally visited this incredible spot where nature meets DMZ , and not only captured the whole experience on videos but on photos too. From the " Zigzag Trail" to Jogang Observation Deck looking out across the water to the North, my to-do-list checked! The 1.5km zigzag trail to and from Jogang Observatory At the heart of the Jogang Observatory stands a collection of powerful monuments that serve as silent witnesses to history. The most prominent one will be the North and South Korea Peace Bell.  A massive and symbolic structure installed to echo hopes for reunification across the river. Also, the site honors its past as Hill 154 , the location wher...

Public Phone

I guess most of you have used public phone before... But with the technology advancing everyday, these public phones will be extinct soon enough. Just like pagers. I kept 2 of them at home for memories (I think I have more than 2 but not sure cos memory loss over the years). Another one will be the number '1711' which we usually call to check time but it has ceased its service. We shouldn't forget their existence which actually help us in our daily life. I mean last time. For now, is all about smartphones. Yup! I own a SII and once contract end, I shall change to Note II. Why I don't support Iphone is because so common everywhere and one of my module assignment is about Apple and I am kind of disgusted after reading more about them and also analyzing them on how they manage the company, their staff etc. *PUKE* That makes me even don't want to use their phone. 

Back to public phone. So one insert 10 cents to the coin phone for a 3 minutes talk. Any changes right now? I have long time no use it. But my parents do. Phone cards. Do you have a collection of them? I used to have a lot because when I was young, I return call using public phone when someone page me. Wahahahah... Wow... Those were the days. But now, coin phones are getting lesser. So are the phone card type. Mostly foreigners are using it to call home. But... now they also own a mobile phone hor. Some smartphone users okay?

I took few pictures of the pay phones. You might think is crazy or something but before it extinct, must keep for memories because you won't see them next time. Enjoy.

Kind of dirty hor and I wonder how much germs over the handset.
Another one and typical one. The shopowner kept it when they close shop for the day.
I guess I can't find the even older version of it. But I will just keep a lookout. Shall update here if I find it. The more advance version with coin and phone card type.
