Starbucks opens Outlet with a View of North Korea | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Starbucks seems to be cashing in on South Korean sorrow and nostalgia. The coffee chain has opened a new outlet at the DMZ, the demilitarised zone between North and South Korea. The new store offers a view of impoverished North Korean villages, which South Koreans can see while sipping over-priced coffee. But South Korean border towns don't mind this concept, because they want to boost tourism, by offering a people a glimpse into Kim Jong Un's Hermit Kingdom.
