QUOTE(_ChAoS_ @ Apr 29 2014, 01:12 PM) I used Maybank mastercard there for beauty products purchasing too... After conversion, it's lower than what i paid for at money changers so its depend on which bank credit card we use?but credit card do charge tax right? kinda confuse, if i should use credit card or cash~

Anyone went for DMZ tour that include the JSA before? Which do you recommend? I looked at USO but the price are slightly on a high side. What about Panmunjom Travel Centre or others? Any feedback?
