About Korean life!

In my culture, people say "Hi" "How are you?" so introductions are

similar to English. Korean are not different from American English.

Nothing is peculiar, but Korean words are not easy for Americans to say.

In my culture, smiling and shaking hands are different.

I am thinking that is, because Koreans think much of the proprieties.

Then when they say hello, they don't kiss and hug.

And I think Americans often smile, but Koreans do not often smile.

In my culture, customs for men and women are different.

Korean men are conservative and Korean women are generous.

In former days, men were nobler than women, and

this custom is hand down till now.

In my culture , this topic is in short. an young person is too open-hearted and
an older person is too closed-hearted. Then we need to discover new things by studying the past
For example, the older person will say "hello" but an young person will just wave.

For instead, one foreigner went to the Korean and he rode the subway, but he was suprised because

Korean people usually use to do together such as news paper but the foreigner was suprised that

action.

Also sat Korean people sometimes carry to the front people's a package(But always within the

purview of old people), but the forigner was confused that, he throught, that person steal my
package. But, when you visit the Korea and when you ride Korean sunway. Don't fear the this

situation!
The older person is more formal and an young person is informal.

About Dokdo!

Do you know Dokdo? or Have you been hear about Dokdo?

I will intorduce of Dokdo! Because many poeple confused about Dokdo or Dakeshima. So that I wish that it helps with there.

Let's introduce of Dokdo!

Location : Dokdo is the easternmost territory of Korea and situated 87.4km to the southeast of Ulleungdo Island and 216.8km to the east of Jukbeon of the East Coast.

Dokdo's address : 1 through 96 Dokdo-ri Ulleung-eup Ulleung-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do Korea (101 lots) Postal : 799-805

Size : Dokdo is 187,554㎡ (Dongdo: 73,297㎡; Seodo: 88,740㎡; Other Islands: 25,517㎡)

I don't make out about Japanese pepole because Korean people have many prooves. But Japanese don't admit about this fact also they appoint that March 3rd is the Dakeshima's day! Are you crazy? I'm nor t admit because certainlly, Japanese many reserach worker are said "Japan’s Meiji Restoration official document in 19th century confirms that Dokdo belongs to Korea." Also Korean traditional many characters designated of Dokdo!

Who do you think right?

Also, I saw some articles about Dokdo that Dokdo will writed to Dakeshima in Japnese Histroy textbooks in Japan on 2012. Korean don't respond about that fact, perhaps Korea government will not respond until Dokdo changeds Dakeshima.

I think, we need to strong solution for Japan, Japan can not persist to Dokdo.

Tree-planting day in Korea.

Today is tree-planting day in Korea. But today is not holiday but 4~5 years ago, tree-planting day was holiday but government didn't admit this fact because Korean has many holidays so that government decides that we should reduce the holidays. So that many holidays destody, but tree-planting day is not remove only that holiday is not.

I heard that april, last friday is tree-planting day in US.

and april 4th is tree planting day in Japan, but I'm sure that Jaoanese can plant the tree because they are not peace in a word Japan is very hard so that they can;'t do that.

But nowaday, this is become and issue carbon dioside pollution. Because we use many products for example we use refrigeator, hair spray also car exhaust gas or factory smoke and sweepinhs destruction by fire is also become an issue.

So that we shold plant for trees! Let's plant trees in the streets!
