Busan gets into the Matchmaking Business

Busan City is trying to become a good matchmaker with a so called Lover's Concert between the Youngnam and Honam areas. This is the first time Busan City has tried this kind of thing. They've been organizing events for natural meetings between young single adults.

About sixty available singles will meet on December twenty-first and twenty-second at Haeundae beach. If things work out as well as planned the couples hopefully can spend the rest of their lives together. During this event if couples actually decide to get married they will receive ten million won from DUO, one of the most largest matchmaking businesses in Korea. Also they can use a government office as a wedding hall if they want to.

Childrens Park Renovations

Many of Children's' Park facilities, including bathrooms and cafeterias have received a major touch up. Park officials have modernized the resting places and made an open space for citizens that are open twenty four hours a day. Moreover they tried to upgrade their image on some of the filthy bathrooms by making them larger and cleaner. And they set up an aroma freshening system to get rid of bad smells. They also installed an "information desk" for the foreigners to feel free to ask questions. The Theme park aims to become the best park in Busan.
