觸手不可及的相近 The closest untouchable distance 終於在2016年的最後一天，可以有時間整理一下這個起伏的12月。就在南韓總統朴槿惠被彈劾的那一天，我從南韓到訪板門店，嘗試從南韓人的角度看看他們的北方。 從南韓到訪三八線、板門店，參加當地旅行團是唯一的方法。在這條仍處於停戰狀態的國界上，南北韓都允許一定數量的遊客參觀，彰顯自己意識形態的優越。 從南韓進入DMZ非軍事區後，呼吸到的都是凝重的空氣。板門店的氣氛更是凝重，擔心哪怕是一個微小的動作，都會成為北韓挑釁的藉口。實際上參觀板門店的時間不到五分鐘，一半是在南韓的和平之家遠觀北韓的統一閣，另一半則是進入南韓管理的會議室。軍官每隔一分鐘便提示著遊客即將要離開，遊人們都只能把握時間，無目的地趕緊按下手中的快門，就連一丁點思考的時間也沒有。 這個纏繞超過半個世紀的問題，何時解決仍是未知之數。南韓人祈望統一，也擔憂統一。在統一大業完成之前，有機會也要從北韓看看南方。 Finally I have time to review the December full of ups and downs. When Park Geun-hye, President of South Korea was facing her impeachment, I was visiting Panmunjom from South Korea, trying to understand how they see their north. From South Korea, Panmunjom can be visited only with tour groups. Only with a signed armistice, the two Koreans are still technically at war, and allow certain numbers of people to visit the line of separation, and promote their own ideology. After entering the Korean Demilitarized Zone, one can feel the freeze atmosphere. South Korean wouldn't allow any small gesture which could turn into an excuse of the North Korean's provocative actions. The time actually allows tourist to stay in Panmunjom was just 5 minutes, meanwhile the accompanied soldier would constantly remind visitors how many minutes is left. The time was so short that everyone could only click their shutter without any hesitation. When will the separation solve remains unknown. The South Koreans hope for the unification, but are worrying about it too. But before the unification, I hope I can visit Panmunjom again, this time from North Korea. #一相一程一故事, #Onephotojourneystory, #旅行, #Travel, #南韓, #北韓, #板門店 #SouthKorea, #NorthKorea, #Panmunjom （Bryan的故事五十五 Bryan's chapter 55） ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 一相一程一故事 One photo, one journey, one story Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/onephotojourneystory Bryan's blogger: onephotojourneystory.blogspot.com U blog: https://blog.ulifestyle.com.hk/blogger/onephotojourneystory/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onephotojourneystory/
