One seriously serious trip
Reviewed by: pete, 2016/03/20JSA is one seriously serious trip that you should not miss out on when you're in seoul!
No matter how much knowledge you gain through reading or after visiting the Korean War Memorial, I bet nothing can really prepares you for how incredibly strange a part of the world this is.
I must thank our lady tour guide who constantly keep us intense throughout our journey by saying, "refrain from smiling and laughing because you'll never know when the bullets will fly over our head!" then she smiled and makes us comfortable again.
So yeah, the world's most fortified border can seem like a tourist trap, drawing large crowds of camera-happy visitors every year but to the military trained eye, it is an incident waiting to happen.
Loss of personal control, doing everything as you're told. No pointing! Stands here but don't stand there and the list goes on.
Intense huh, but this is the experience that you'll treasure later on.

Decent
Reviewed by: Angelina L., 2014/11/12I thought the tour overall was pretty decent. The only thing I found disappointing was how rush everything was. And it felt like most of the time was spent travelling from one destination to another.
We think so that we want to show you more site nore detail if possible but we should keep the tour rules and times.
we hope you understand this condition.
Thank you.
Sincerely
Han Miran

Please go there after seeing the movie JSA
Reviewed by: Anonymous, 2014/05/14I was scared a little at first, but I am happy to have visited there.
The seat of the bus was designated. It was worthwhile to see the War Memorial Hall
and I am glad to see it.
On the way, we can feel tension only by going along the road where iron wire and monitoring hut are located.
Upon arrival at JSA, we transferred to a different bus.
We can bring only a camera there, but it is better to have a purse in the pocket to
purchase the souvenior thereafter.
You should wear an outfit that has a pocket.
On that day, a North Korean soldier came to take a memorial picture with us in background.
When we entered the building, we heard someone saying, 'Get out immediately!!!' The guide said to us, 'Something happened. Let's get out now. We don't want to die.' She looked very pale. After all, some big shot was there for inspection and the guide was most freaked out. It was quite a feeling of tension we do not usually have.
I watched JSA starring Lee ByungHun again before going on a trip. You should watch it before you go. I found the guide's explanation very informative. Thank you.

It is good picture " Gunsa Boongye seon", which means the miltary demarcation line.
I don't have the picture just like yours.
Thank you so much.
