It’s actually a “digital” collection of Andong culture.

I took the danso classes for a few sessions and the instructors were great, the program well-organized and special guests were knowledgable. If you're in Seoul and have time, take the class.

Judging from the corporate/government incest in the states and elsewhere, the world may not be to far from corporate sponsorship of a government anyhow. There is little difference between governments and the businesses they supposedly represent. It is a very Alvin Toffler kind of idea anyway. Actually, that’s not a bad Champagne at all.

A "sparking" museum is a strange idea but do remember that "Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola" is in the Lincoln Center, in New York. That is pretty crass commercialism there though it is a venue for good musicians. Too many corporations are attempting to buy strap-ons for their swaggering libidos and the results are often bitter-sweet at best. Korea could do without so much commercialism and non-sense that someone thinks they *must* have because such-and-such is a sign of a "developed" country. Korea just needs to be Korea, in the best sense. I only wonder what would go into a "sparkling" museum to make it interesting. You guys are too cynical.

Considering that Arirang programming and most of the demonstrations in front of the US Embassy or Seoul Station seem to be exercises in masturbation, first and foremost, I think this may also be the case with KTO advertising. “Maybe the Korean Tourism Organization is advertising mainly to itself.”

What do the Chinese think of this campaign? But then again, if Chinese are to be reached, why advertise on Anglophone CNN? Maybe the Korean Tourism Organization is advertising mainly to itself.
