South Korea - unPREDICTABLE!





It was interesting, overwhelming and short. As I learned, Koreans are obsessed about their appearances. There are lots of make-up brands, most are with bleaching ingredients. Many young women are pressured into undergoing eyelid surgery (which costs $2,500- 4,000 USD) to look more european. Seniors are very active folk in Korea, trotting up and down the mountains at 6 am and lifting weights and meditating in the bushes. I took a busride 6 hours-long from Seoul to meet my very close friend, Crystal Davie from London/ON, and other canadians there teaching English. One of the girls with last name Kelly (i.e. same last name as me) knew one of Chris' uncles in Northern Ontario - how small is the world? - Small!
