First, let's tackle some of those acronyms. JSA stands for Joint Security Area, a section of the Panmunjeom truce village on the inter-Korean border, or Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). This is one of the last vestiges of the Cold War, where the South's Republic of Korea (ROK) and the North's People's Democratic Republic of Korea (DPRK) face off amidst a tense and eerie complex of otherwise unassuming buildings. Today, the JSA is a popular tourist destination, with hundreds of visitors every day. Despite the large number of daily visitors, this place is marked by an uneasy yet exhilarating atmosphere of tension and anxiety. That is, until you get to the gift shop.
