    Abstract
    Broadcast Transcript: Possible injury or death as the result of enemy action may not be high on your list of "Things You Look For In a Vacation Spot" but that doesn't seem to be a concern for the growing number of tourists flocking to the DMZ. The most heavily fortified border in the world, running between the two Koreas, is currently being promoted as a "unique sightseeing destination." Attractions include razor wire, a dank underground tunnel, and the persistent glares of North Korean soldiers on the other side, and let's not forget the land mines. Wondering what souvenir to bring to those at home? Perhaps tea towels with the U.N. logo would be appreciated, but only if the gift shop runs out of the "My parents visited the DMZ and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" option. #ceas #NorthKorea #SouthKorea #tsutsui #vonholten
