STYLITES IN BEIJING

Korea the Beautiful

Adorable Ma Lina buys Korean brands, says that Korea is the world’s most stylish and beautiful country, and if she could pick one place in the world to visit, it would be Jeju Island, in Korea.  She also thinks that Japan is pretty stylish.  France is alright, she guesses.  I suspect her style is not what most Westerners would consider typically Korean or Japanese.  However, the brands she wears are mostly Korean, made in China and intended for export.  

The love of all things Korean is not unusual for Chinese of Ma Lina’s generation, but her take on the style seems a bit different.  Still, I probably don’t watch enough Korean citcoms to truly understand this cultural phenonena.

Thanks to Viewers…

Thanks for your continued support despite less frequent updates over the last week.  In Iran, I have had much less access to the internet.  I often connect through an old-fashioned dial-up modem.  Keep checking though; the updates will still be daily.  Thanks.
