What is the biggest culture shock you have ever experienced?
Plastic surgery in Korea
A lot of people are doing this now so I know it's very common. It does not seem like a big deal but let me explain a little bit.
I was amazed at how many Koreans were engaged in changing even the smallest part of their looks. They may not always like anything related to their appearance and this is usually something that others do not notice.
My coworker decided that her forehead should look a little more rounded, so she spent $ 5000 to get some *** from him **** (she's thin, **** only place to wear his forehead (of course) I heard liposuction was so painful .
His forehead initially appeared swollen after surgery and two months later it looked like his 'original' forehead. I mean, what is it like to experience so much suffering and money to get a change that does not deserve attention?
Another current co-worker had surgery to lift the corners of her mouth a little so that she appeared to be smiling.
I do not know, if you want to look smiling, why not laugh?
I find myself shocked every time I hear something like this. And more importantly, how can people always find some new parts in themselves that they do not like? It’s almost like a skill. Why not use that skill to find what we like about ourselves?
