 Colourful Korean Fan Dancers are world renown |
Today we know Korea as a major industrial player on the global economic stage. Korean brands like Samsung, Hyundai and LG are well known around the globe and serve as shining beacons to consumers wanting high quality, reliable electronic and mechanical goods. But beneath the bright neon and Perspex signs proclaiming the superiority of Korean manufacturing, dwells a gentle, conscientious people honourably striving to reinforce their nation's enviable economic position.
Outside of the bustling metropolises of Seoul and Pusan one can find quaint rural villages still practising age-old agricultural traditions and religious rites. Skilled artisans and gifted musicians add colour and verve to the landscape reminding you that Korea can produce far more than just whitegoods and cell phones.
