Every korean city is famous for that apparently. Cracks me up the ways they try to market their destinations sometimes. "Famous for spring cherry blossoms! Great history! A statue of a mermaid! 4 seasons! a museum and a plate of fish guts in boiled water!"
How could anyone resist??

It reminds me of those places in Canada where, before entering (or driving past), you see a big billboard proclaiming the Blueberry Capital of the World, or Christmas Tree Capital of Nova Scotia (or Canada, I can't remember) or Halfway Between the North Pole and the Equator. And here I thought Stewiacke was just some small town with a gas station and three Tim Hortons, but now that I know it's Halfway Between the North Pole and the Equator, I've totally changed my mind and decided it's worth at least a week's visit.

Show me a country that doesn't have that for every country, district, whatever the country calls their small areas. You should see Japan when it comes to what's famous in each area.

As one who has in the past ranted against insidious Korean marketing/commercialism (11.11 day, anyone?) I would like to say HELL YES.
I'm sick of my country being defined by a goddamned fast food restaurant.

I guess that goes to show how irrelevant Canada really is.

It is true about places being called "famous" for whatever reason, and it is funny.

A friend had a great expression, "world famous in Korea."

I beg to differ. I've had pibimbap in cheonju, and at THE place for it in Jeonju. It is not the best, imho.

Not that it matters much. Smile
