People and Places

People and Places



Hello everyone, today I will discuss about a place that I really want to visit. Actually there are many places that I really want to visit, and I hope I can visit them in the future. One of the places that I want to visit is South Korea. I want to visit this place because I like watching k-drama and love listening to k-pop music. This makes me have desire to visit South Korea. Before proceeding further, it is better if we know in advance about South Korea.
Republic of Korea is the official name of South Korea. The name of the South Korean flag is Taegeukgi (태극기) and South Korea's National Flower is Mugunghwa.
The capital of South Korea is Seoul, which is famous for the Han River. The Han River flows in the middle of Seoul which divides two cities between Gangbuk for the North and Gangnam for the South. The Han River has 30 bridges that connect between Gangbuk and Gangnam.
South Korea has four seasons consisting of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The language used in Korea is Korean.
Korea is famous not only for its music or drama, but also for its culture, special food, and many more. The language used in Korea is Korean. Korean writing is called Hangul. The traditional Korean house is called Hanok. Hanok usually consists of an inner part (anchae), a part for men (sarangchae), a study room (sarangbang), and a servant's room (haengrangbang). Korean traditional society chooses a place to live based on geomancy.
Hanbok is the everyday attire of Koreans for thousands of years before opening the country to the West. Western clothing has replaced hanbok almost everywhere, but even urban residents generally continue to wear it on special occasions such as important family gatherings, holidays, weddings, and funerals.
Korea is very famous for its special food, Kimchi. Kimchi is a food that is usually a low calorie vegetable with high fiber content (for example, onions, long beans, lettuce, etc.) cooked in such a way with herbs and spices to produce a unique and usually spicy taste.
Regarding Korean people, they also have habits that become their lifestyle. The following are Korean habits or lifestyle that we need to know.
1. When entering a Korean home, you must take off the shoes or sandals you are using. Doing something that is lacking is a sign of great disrespect. Because South Koreans are said to have an unusual or special relationship with their floors, which is where they sit and sleep. Dirty floors cannot be tolerated in Korean homes.
2. The country of South Korea has a drinking culture, and their national taste drink is soju, a drink similar to vodka. Certainly this soju is intoxicating and like all liquor in Korea that is always served with food.
3. Regarding religion that is adopted by South Korea, the majority are atheists, they do not have a religion. But Buddhists are quite large in this land of Ginseng. There are Catholics and Protestant Christians too for the majority.
4. In South Korea playing with mud has become a habit and tradition. Because the people of South Korea believe and believe that mud is good for skin. With this they made mud to hold a mud festival which is commonly called the Boryeong Mud festival.
There are many more Korean habits that really unique. I hope someday I can visit Korea, and can meet my favourite K-Pop idol namely BlackPink😅
