Korea is a nation
that boasts of a fast
growing economy and
a lifestyle that perfectly
combines the old and
the new. Once known
as a quiet nation in
the East, the peninsula
now hardly rests, pulsating
with life and commerce.
Several subsidiaries
of international corporations
and businesses as well
as most western franchises
can be found nationwide.
Even in the face of
modernity, however,
Koreans still greatly
value their 5 millennia
of culture and history
and Confucian philosophy
that guided the lives
of their ancestors.
Its natural beauty combined
with unique cultural
heritage preserved for
thousands of years and
amiable people makes
Korea an even more attractive
place to visit. Many
global events take place
here annually including
the 2002 FIFA Football
World Cup and the APEC
Summit 2005 to name
a few.
