One more special feature of the DMZ Train trip is that apart from having to bring our ID card (passport/alien card), we also have to fill out two forms of our identity as a visitor. Both the forms and the ID card must be presented at the Imjingak Station immigration/security check point.
The left part is to be presented when we booked the trip after arriving at Dorasan Station.
The right part is to be presented to the officer in charge of the bus* we take for the tour.
Yes...the bus...since we'd take the bus tour starting from Dorasan station.
Even Freya was so excited of signing her own autograph...Yes...it's in Hangeul, of course.
She seemed to be so seriously immersed in filling out the form, though.
Passing some sort of factory I was not sure where..but surely on our way to Dorasan.
Another look into the train interior. Ooops...I thought I was in Love compartment, it turned out that we're at Harmony compartment or 화합실.
The fun part of the train was that the TV kept on displaying informative news about our trip, also occasionally, the camera (via CCTV) deliberately took the shots of our activities on the train and broadcasting them live to all compartments for us to enjoy.
The one-hour-and-a-half-trip was truly a memorable one since the kids could do lots of things...there were also tables and snack-corner to cater the needs of its customer's appetite for in-between snacks.
Practically...Dorasan Station..the place we're heading to.....is a station WITHIN the demilitarized zone..which means that we have to be alert or aware of where we were along the way.
Oh..in one section of the train, I noticed lots of people posting or hanging the postcards ...wishing the good future of South-North relation.
Then..you could also put a stamp on it to prove that you HAVE been to Dorasan via DMZ Train or 평화열차.
It's definitely another experience to root for.
