Cosmetic surgery tour group stopped at the border
A group of 23 Chinese women became stranded at the border of their own country when they tried to return home from a "cosmetic surgery vacation".The women had been visiting a Korean institute to get some work done on their eyes, nose and chin.
Obviously, they had not realized that this kind of work would make them look significantly different than their passport photo, and the entire group was stopped by immigration officials.
Eventually, document specialists were called in to examine their passport photos, and compare them with parts of their faces that had not had any work done. Of course, the healing wounds and stitches probably didn't make things any easier. After several hours, the group was cleared to enter their own country.
Apparently, cosmetic surgery is becoming increasingly popular with Chinese women, who pay upwards of $3000 to have their faces altered to look more "western".

I always find it funny that Asian women want to look more western. What is wrong with their own look?
My wife actually had her eyes changed to be more western looking. She is from Beijing. We went on a flight to Beijing from Australia just so she could get the op done. It is a simple procedure, just a stitch or two to give a crease to the eye lid.
Getting back to those women in the article maybe next time they should just get a boob job.
