The next day we headed down to the DMZ. Our guide regaled is with facts and figures about the glories of North Korea and the Kim Dynasty. In all honestly, she was pretty cool. Here she is teaching us the traditional Korean patriotic song “Arirang”.pic.twitter.com/5G3hgHRLve

She wrote us the words in case you wish to sing along at home. She also made a joke that if we didn’t memorise the song by heart then we weren’t getting our passports back. I learnt the song.pic.twitter.com/v1WTJszcdV

North Korean smokes livened up the journey. Here is Arirang brand and 7.27 which is regarded as their best brand. 7.27 is the date the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed.pic.twitter.com/guzPsjFOa0

The town bordering the DMZ is famous for its ginseng. Low class and obnoxious Chinese tour groups flock here from across the border for cheap meds. The Koreans despised their bad behaviour, noise and spitting but need the money.pic.twitter.com/572X6cmj25

I also despise the Chinese for their rudeness, noise, and frequent spitting, I've had to deal with many at boarding school and college.

My school was almost half Chinese, almost all millionaire and billionaire children who washed out of the Chinese education system and were sent away to avoid shaming the family. They never spoke below the tone you'd expect in a crowded bar, even when they were cheating on tests.

I'm glad someone else knows my pain. I had a Chinese room mate who would stay up all night playing League of Legends yelling into the mic. I still become enraged at the mere sound of Mandarin.

It triggers me like nothing else. Seriously give that book a look.
