On our way to Kaesong, again we got to see a lot of DPRK life going on around us. We arrived about 1 hour later at Kaesong itself and really got to see many locals, the atmosphere was amazing it was really surreal . We got to see the (from Wikitravel)
- Nam Gate, or the South Gate, was built between 1391 and 1393, at the same time as the inner citadel of the walled city. The citadel used to have seven gates, but only Nam Gate is left. During the Korea War it was severely damaged and rebuilt in 1954.
After this we then had lunch which was erm... different...

| en route to Sariwon |
After lunch we headed to what was probably my favorite city in the DPRK, Sariwon. Along the way I really needed the toilet and as the bus was bumpy it was hard to hold it so I asked the guides how much longer to the nearest toilet and they said 45 mins!! The guides though said I can stop anytime and go against a tree, so I did! I wasn't expecting to do this in the DPRK!! This was a great little city full of nice houses and buildings and of course some high rise apartment block buildings in the background, the weather of course was amazing and this really helped, we also got to spend some time here with the locals and we even saw a local wedding!

At one point there were some kids doing Taekwondo and I got to join them! The view from the top of the hill was great and the atmosphere there generally was amazing.
