  Panmunjom
Panmunjom is the "truce village" that straddles the border between North Korea and South Korea in the middle of the Demilitarized Zone that has split this peninsula since the Korean War ended in 1953.
One of the main attractions in Panmunjom is a visit to the powder-blue, one-story building where officials from the two sides meet occasionally.
A conference table covered with green velvet is placed directly over the border line, and the microphone cable that runs down the middle of the table is officially recognized as the international border.
