My Employer Plans My Trips

Where: Korea

Tired of working so hard that you never have the chance to travel or to meet a new partner? You need an employer like the Hana Bank in South Korea. They're sending 20 of their female employees aged between 29 and 33 on a two day trip to a Hyundai-affiliate run resort in North Korea. And they're inviting along 20 single South Korean men picked by one of the top dating agencies in the country.

These kind of blind date trips are, in fact, only subsidized--participants must pay half of the cost--but they're part of the bank's program of "full life service." So your employer owns you, but they send you on interesting trips and set you up with the right men. Perhaps it's just a short step before you and your new employer-approved partner won't get any more holidays but can just sleep in the office.
