Cultures Around The World
SOUTH KOREA
Korean culture is very interesting and full of wonderful traditions. That's why i choose South Korea this time. People who love Kpop will certainly know the cultures of people there. They are very good at promoting their own country. Are you curious? Check this out.......
PEOPLE:
The Korean people are descendants of several Mongol tribal groups who migrated around 4,000 B.C. from what are now Siberia and Manchuria. They eventually became a homogeneous race, independent of their neighbors, with unique cultural traits distinct from the Chinese and Japanese.
Two common observations about Korean people are their endurance and dynamism. Harsh weather, grueling negotiations and after-hours socializing are all taken in stride in a ‘work hard, play hard’ culture. The Korean sense of humor is readily apparent not only in daily interactions, but also in the nation's rich folk art. Favorite songs, often sung at the end of parties or dinners, have lilting sad melodies, pointing to the strong element of melancholy contained in the Korean character. Koreans tend to vent their feelings and emotions – be it exuberance or anger, delight or frustration.

LITERATURE:
Prior to the 20th century, Korean literature was influenced by Classical Chinese literature. Chinese calligraphy was also extensively used by Koreans for over one thousand years in Korean literature. Modern literature is often linked with the development of hangul, which helped spread literacy from the dominant classes to the common people, including women. Hangul, however, only reached a dominant position in Korean literature in the second half of the 19th century, resulting in a major growth in Korean literature. Sinsoseol, for instance, are novels written in hangul.
In modern poetry, there were attempts at introducing imagist and modern poetry methods particularly in translations of early American moderns such as Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot in the early 20th century. In the early Republic period, patriotic works were very successful.
Lyric poetry dominated from the 1970s onwards. Poetry is quite popular in contemporary South Korea, both in terms of number of works published and lay writing.
HOLIDAYS:
1. Korean New Years
There are actually two Korean New Years. This is because Koreans go by two calenders; one being the same people use in the West, and the other being the lunar calender.
The Korean New Years based on the Western calender is similar to our New Years in the United States. It is a big national holiday in Korea as well, and occurs on January 1st just like it does here. During this holiday, many relatives get together to share time together and talk. In Korea, there are some old traditions that some people will still follow. One is to visit the oldest member of the family and bow toward them to show respect and to wish them a long life (this would occur on New Years Eve). The following day on January 1st people will pay respect to ancestors by offering food and wine. This ceremony is called Jaesa. At the beginning of the ceremony, the names of the ancestors are pinned to a board. The oldest family members bows and offers the wine to the ancestors who have passed away. Then, the names are burned. Later in the day, relatives talk about old times and eat food. The traditional food usually eaten on New Years Day is Duk Gook, a type of soup. Kimchi is always present.
2. Independence Day
Similar to our July 4th Independence Day, the Korean Independence Day represents when Koreans declared themselves independent from Japanese rule. It is on March 1st every year, and began in 1919 when the declared themselves independent from Japanese rule. Japan had taken over Korea in 1910. For the next 9 years, Koreans would live a hard life under Japanese control. Since they declared independence, every year they proudly stand for their independence from all foreign rule, just as we do here in America on July 4th.
3. Chuseok
Chuseok is the same as our "harvest moon." It takes place on the 15th day of the 8th month going by the lunar calendar. It is a day where the full moon appears larger and may look orange. This holiday is celebrated in many asian countries.
4. Christmas
Since Christianity took hold in Korea, Christmas has been a growing holiday there as well. It is a little different than here in the west though. Many young people will use Christmas as a day to go out and party and then will spend New Years with their family, which is just the opposite of many Western families.
5. Children's Day
it is a holiday that should be introduced everywhere! On Children's Day, May 5th of every year, children are given money for free and taken on outings.
5. Hangul Day
Hangul Day, also known as Hangul Proclamation Day and Korean Alphabet Day, is on October 9th in South Korea and January 15th in North Korea. It is just a day to celebrate the creation of the language!
6. Valentines Day, White Day, and Black Day
All of these are related!
Valentines Day is on February 14th, as it is here. On Valentines Day, girls will give chocolates and other gifts to the guys. It is similar to our Valentines Day but is more one-sided.
So, what should be done? White Day was created. On White Day, one month later on March 14th, guys will give more expensive chocolates and gifts to the girls. These chocolates come in white boxes. This way it isn't so one-sided!
But what about the people who feel left out on those days because they have nobody to give chocolates to? That is what Black Day is for! On Black Day, another month later on April 14th, people who have nobody all get together with their friends and eat JaJang Noodles, which are black in color. It is not as popular as Valentines Day and White Day, but it is still celebrated by some people!

Some Places That I Have Ever Visited in Yogyakarta
This time i want to share about recommended places in Yogyakarta. Lebaran holiday i always spend my time with family to go to Yogya because my mom born there and there is still our family who lives there. I think Yogya is one of best place in Indonesia, there are so many beautiful places to visit. Ok i will tell you some places in Yogya that i have ever visited.
First is Malioboro street. This is one of the most famous among tourists. You can buy everything in here foods, souvenirs, accessories, batik, handycrafts etc. with cheap prices but still you have to be careful to buy goods. I really love to buy souvenirs here to be brought to Jakarta and do not forget the most coveted place to photograph is the road name "JL. MALIOBORO".
Second place is Prambanan Temple. Prambanan temple has three main temples in the primary yard. If you see it in person, you will be speechless because of the beauty of the building. It is very hot here because the trees were still slightly but don't worry there is selling umbrellas and hats to wear.
Third is Keraton Yogyakarta.I see a very beautiful ancient architecture here.You can find out all about the cultures of Java here. Around Keraton Yogyakarta there is alun-alun. It looks beautiful if you visit at night.Alun-alun Kidul Yogya is populer because you can see there are two large trees. According to rumors, if you can pass in between two trees mean you're a good person. But i did not try it.
As can be seen, Yogya is one of the most beautiful places in Indonesia example, Prambanan temple, Malioboro street, Keraton Yogyakarta, Parangtritis beach, Kalibiru Village, and many more.A lot of beautiful places hidden here. So that's it, there are still many places anymore but I only visited the three places. After you read my personal experience, i hope you have a plan to visit Yogya on holiday.

How important tourism for your country?
Tourism in Indonesia is so beautiful. Custom and culture diverse in Indonesia could attract interest in the local and foreign tourists. In Indonesia with the passage of time, there will be a lot of beautiful new place from Sabang to Merauke. According to what I read, every year foreign tourists coming to Indonesia increased. There are important things that must be considered, we as citizens who have tourist sites are required to keep the environment clean so the number of visitors can be increased.
So, I think tourism in Indonesia is important because with everything that Indonesia had, we can build the national economy for example, bring in foreign exchange through tax countries such as the restaurant tax, airport tax, employee tax, etc. then the unemployment rate can be reduced with this tourism. On the other hand, we can improve foreign language learning and new skills, introduce our culture to the general public so that culture will not quickly fade and disappear because of their cultural socialization.

suspension bridge in London. The bridge crosses the River Thames close to the
Tower of London and has become an iconic symbol of London. The bridge consists
of two bridge towers tied together at the upper level by two horizontal
walkways, designed to withstand the horizontal tension forces exerted by the
suspended sections of the bridge on the landward sides of the towers. The
vertical components of the forces in the suspended sections and the vertical reactions
of the two walkways are carried by the two robust towers. The bascule pivots
and operating machinery are housed in the base of each tower.

Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the clock at
the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, and often extended to

the River Thames in London. it is Europe's tallest Ferris wheel, and offered
