Tucked away in northeast
Asia, Korea is a nation that boasts a fast growing economy and a lifestyle
that brings together the old and the new. Once known simply as a quiet
nation in the East, the peninsula now hardly sleeps as it pulsates
with life and commerce. Numerous branch offices of international corporations
and businesses can be found throughout the country, as well as most
western franchises. Despite all such enthusiasm for modernization
and globalization, Koreans still greatly value their 5,000 years of
history and the Confucian philosophy that has governed the lives of
their ancestors. Many global events take place here annually, with
the 2002 FIFA World Cup Soccer Games being the most recent. |
