At several places in The UN Buffer Zone soldiers have found objects they deemed worth to collect and keep. They form the "Unofficial UN Buffer Zone Museums" and here's another one. I felt that every ball told its own sad tale of a young boys broken dream - what happened when the ball was left behind..? Or when the ball was kicked over the wall, dividing TC and GC boys, into the Buffer Zone..?

Good pics maybe, but I fail to see why some find them sad. Why is the buffer zone sad? It is there for a good reason, and will I am sure remain there until the GCs come to their senses and stop trying to put the clock back. Meantime no reason to be sad on this side of the Green Line.
