I have been to the Korean Culture Center before so this was the second time that I visited the center. It's a fabulous place to learn about Korean culture, both historical and contemporary. It was especially interesting getting an insight into K-Beauty and K-Beauty products. I was not aware that South Korea has become the new Silicon valley, and that behind the United States, plastic surgery is biggest in S. korea. It is not just a phenomenon that is sweeping through S. Korea, but it has become ingrained as part of the culture.
What I also appreciated and liked was all the travel information that the center had regarding visiting S. Korea. I especially liked the information on Jeju island. I was not aware that one could drive around the entire island.
