Wagah Border, The border dividing India and Pakistan
Just like Korea, India and Pakistan are divided countries with lasting scars from war.
But the situation here seems very different
from that of Korea's Pamnumjeom, doesn't it?

Korea shares the same history of a partitioned country
but such festivities would be unimaginable there.
