Yes, I agree. Plastic surgery can only take you so far... many of these Korean women are genetically beautiful to begin with. The surgery is more like little tweakings/ not major overhauls. Try watching Korean drama/ movies ... you will get hooked :o)

Plus they have a very healthy diet so their skin is perfect.

Its not offensive to them. Its usually the guys that drink very heavily that smell horrible with the garlic coming out of their pores.

Westerners often smell like spoiled milk to them.

Kimchee is my all time favorite smell in the world!

My son says the #1 profit center for department stores is women’s shoes.

But their breath (and other mucosal orifices) tends to smell of the garlic from the kimchi.

My area of NY is GrandCentral for Koreans in the area (Little Neck/Great Neck). Some are friends, neighbors, business associates, etc..

The women are fun and funny, very open and eager to become "American". The men are stolid and pretty reliable. I like them as a group although scratch the surface and there are major dysfunctions, mostly about the changing role of the sexes.

>>>And the mark-up on cosmetics is incredible

>>>Most perfume, cologne, etc. smells like bug killer

Several years ago some university did blind tests on what scents are most appealing. The item that came out on top of the list was simple inexpensive Vanilla Extract.

Great-grandma knew what she was doing when she would daub some vanilla behind her ears before going to the squaredance.
