If Koreans could only drop their xenophobia and ultra extreme crazy nationalism, they would have gone a lot further to realising such dreams already.

You can't pretend to welcome the world, you either do or you don't.

Wow that last post sure opened my eyes. And I never knew that Korea was a business.
Anyway, while comparing Pusan to HK is a joke, I've maintained for some time now that Korea should aim to build a HK-esque city to attract tourists. I really don't think the historical building here are going to attract many people-especialy with Japan and China right next door. Same goes for "natural scenery." But Korea can compete in terms of technology and construction. They need to outlaw the building of any more of those concrete apartments in Seoul and start erecting more interesting buildings. A trip down the Han could look very impressive if there were more nice buildings and less of those cookie-cutter apartments. When people think of Paris, they often think of the Eiffel and when people think of Sydney, they often think of the opera house, Seoul (or Pusan) need some interesting, eye-catching buildings.

What? My post opened your eyes despite that sunny day painted on your eyelids.

While Korea is not technically a business, every country is a "brand." Why else would so many countries try to attract tourists?

And you're right about the architecture here: it's godawful. Except Jagalchi market in Busan: I really like that building.

There certainly are a whole new load of buildings rapidly springing up around Haeundae which do have a Hong Kong style to them.

They dont make my eyes hurt,anyway, which is progress for Korea.
