Korea - Land of the Morning Calm -
Land of Miracle on Han River .....
Korea for many years was an enigma and one of the unexplored
'gems' of Asia. From its
struggle for survival to becoming the 'Miracle on Han River', Korea continues to
preserve its character and cultural heritage.
Korea is one of the largest
economies in Asia. It is one of the four Asian tigers. It is
a leader in advanced technologies and innovation, e-ready infrastruture,
and digital this and that.
This small country is situated
with the Yellow Sea to the west, East Sea (Sea of Japan), and the Korea Strait
and East China Sea to the south. Korea is abundant in
enchanting countrysides, mountainous terrain, and a misty and romantic rainy
season. There are over 3,000 islands in the west and south.
JeJu-Do is the largest island. The extinct volcano, Hallasan reaches 6,398
feet in altitude.
There are over 48 million proud, spontaneous and
friendly people in Korea. It is one of the most densely populated
countries in the world. Christianity and Buddhism are
predominant. 70% of the population lives in urban areas with 25% in
the capital of Seoul.
Traditional Korean
meals have many 'Banchan' side dishes. KimChi is served at every
meal. Korean traditional music resembles the traditional music
of China and Japan. There are drum, mask and solo
improvisational traditonal dances.
There is the Korean phonetic
alphabet, Hangul that is very different from the way western alphabets form
words. Jikji is the earliest known book printed with movable metal
type in 1377. Hanji is a form of paper that can last for over 1,000
years.
Korea acquired the nickname of
the 'Hermit Kingdom' after it closed its borders to all foreigners in
the late 19th century. But today, it is a very modern and prosperous
nation of proud and polite people. South Korea is one of the
most open and rapidly changing societies in Asia.
South
Korea  is truly the Land of the
Morning Calm, and the Land of a Miracle on the Han
River.
