    DMZ - the World's Hottest Border

    It is most likely the one border that is constantly in the focus of the world. The demarcation line between North and South Korea is always hot and edgy.

The funny thing is, the face of the demonstrations change its face at all times. One year ago I witnessed a demonstration against saakashvilli.
