In Korea, we have a lot of mountain. The mountain is "san" in Korean. Representatively, we have the Baekdusan and Geumgangsan in North Korea and the Seoraksan, the Jirisan and the Hallasan in South Korea. In addition, there are a lot of big and small mountains in Korea. All they are great. First, the Baekdusan is the biggest mountain in Korea and it has a big lake on the top, called “Cheonji” but we can't go there directly. We can go to Baekdusan only through China. There is another famous mountain, “Geumgangsan” which is my favorite in north Korea. This mountain is famed its beauty and is called a different name in four seasons.It is called Geumgangsan in spring, Bongnaesan in summer, Pungaksan in fall and Gaegolsan in winter. Nowadays people can go Geumgangsan because north and south Korea promote the Geumgangsan tour. Someday I want to go two mountains. Seoraksan, Jirisan, Hallasan are famous in south KoreaSeoraksan is the beautiful mountain that is called second Geumgangsan.

What do you know about our country, Korea? Have you ever been here? I guess that you have seen Korea on TV at least, especially during the 2002' World Cup. And then, you probably remember passionate Korean supporters, 'Red Devils'. Well, I'd like to tell you about 'Korean people'. Some foreigners say, "Koreans are so blunt that they always look like angry." But it's not true. As you know, all people have their own unique character. Traditionally, Koreans have given priority to modesty and endurance. For example, suppose that you passed a very difficult, important exam. You may be so happy that you feel like jumping up and down. It's natural emotion. Because you finally achieved your aim. But Koreans try to repress such desires. It's not hypocrisy, but thoughtful consideration for others. Although I won, many other people might fail. When I am full of my joy, they may be terribly sad due to their failure. And they also understand my mind. So they celebrate my success with whole heart, controlling their emotion. In Korea, there are unique customs. Although it is no big deal, we often attach a placard to schools or public places. "Congratulations, ~~~!" Although it's not our own event, we are willing to give someone our congratulations. This is why he or she is obviously our neighbor, even though I don't know him or her. In fact, Koreans have really warm heart. We call it 'Jeong'. But we are not accustomed to expressing such warm heart. For example, when we bump into someone, we know that we must say 'I am sorry!" But many Koreans are so sorry and embarrassed that they sometimes forget their words, especially when they bumped into foreigners. If you tried to understand us with open mind, you would feel Koreans' warm heart, 'Jeong' soon. Although we cannot talk with each other easily, we feel our friendly mind beyond a wall of language. I'd like to tell you an experience, which I felt Koreans' warm heart from. A few days ago, I moved to a new city. Although I had sent most stuff to my new room, I still had too much burden which I had to hold in my hand. I had 4 bags, and one of them was too heavy. To make me more miserable, a plastic bag was torn. I almost burst into tears. I didn't know what I had to do. It's dark, and I was busy. I had to take the train on time. 내가 한국인들의 따뜻한 마음을 느꼈던 한 경험을 이야기 해 주고 싶군요. 며칠 전에 나는 새 도시로 이사를 했어요. 비록 나의 새 공간으로 대부분의 짐을 보냈었지만, 난 여전히 손에 들고 가야 하는 너무 많은 짐을 갖고 있었죠.. 난 4개의 가방을 갖고 있었는데, 그 중 하나는 너무 무거웠어요. 비참하게도, 비닐가방 하나까지 찢어져버렸죠. 난 거의 울 지경이었어요. 어떻게 해야 할지 몰랐고요. 어두웠고, 난 바빴어요. 제 시간에 열차를 타야 했거든요. At this time, a middle-aged woman came up to me and said, "Do you need a plastic bag? Wait a minute!" She ran somewhere, and returned to me with a plastic one. And she continued trying to help me. "You can't go there with these heavy burden. I'll call my husband. He'll take you there by his car. If you miss the train, you can sleep in my house." I was really sorry because I took her time. I was just a stranger. So, I repeatedly rejected her suggestion. She worried about me from the bottom of her heart. "I feel you seem to be my daughter. I also have my daughter like you. I have enough time to help you. Don't worry!" Although I rejected her help, I was really happy. Also, in the station, a young man also helped me. He took my burden to my seat, and went back to his seat. "Have a good trip!" After getting off a train, a young woman helped me. Without such helps, I might sleep in the station like the miserable homeless. I was so tired, but I was really happy. Because I felt several people' warm heart. Koreans are friendly, warm-hearted people. 만약 당신의 나라에서 한 외국인이 자기 나라말로 갑자기 당신에게 무엇을 묻는다면, 당신 또한 당황할 겁니다. If you visit Korea, can you tell us 'An-nyeong-ha-se-yo?' in Korean? It means "Hello" Although it's only one phrase, Koreans would feel comfortable for you. I hope that you love Korea. Have a good day! |
