Travel tips*: The locations where Korean
TV dramas are shot are becoming popular
tourist destinations.  For example, the little
port town where Joon-suh and Eun-suh
grew up during childhood and the ranch that
they stayed at as grown-ups are attracting
many Taiwanese tourists.  An interesting
phenomenon is that if a certain drama is
more popular in one Asian country than in
another Asian country, that drama site will
be flooded with tourists from that country
where the drama is most popular.  For
example, if a drama is more popular in
Indonesia than in Taiwan, the drama site will
be flooded with Indonesian tourists.  If the
drama is more popular in Taiwan, then the
drama site will be flooded with Taiwanese
tourists.  Along the same lines, Japanese
tourists are flocking to a place called "Shiri
Hill" in Jeju Island after the success of "Shiri"
(a Korean movie) in Japan.
