Korea likes to present itself as a technological nirvana to the outside world, and things like phones you can watch TV on the subway with or really fast downloading of porn are certainly all well and good, but anyone spending more than a week can tell you that Korea still has a lot of unglamorous but simple bread and butter issues to deal with that won’t get mentioned on CNN any time soon. Globalization became very important in this world. People are trying to be globalized by the way they act, communicate and do businesses. Since Korea became developed country, Korea is always looking for a way to globalize with other people. As we see in America, Samsung products became very popular and a lot of people are using those products. Also, they exchange culture for example not too long ago; we had a Korean cultural break in walb union ballroom. Which is why, we can say that Korea became one of the globalized countries in the world.

In my other English class, there is a guy who is studying Korean. He asked me to help him with the language and I said yes. He told me that he is hoping to go to Korea and work as an English instructor. I think it would be the good idea to pass out the information about teaching English in Korea. So, here you go!

English instructors are very well-favored in Korea. Below are the details of the post of needing the English instructor that I found out on the website. I think it sounds great and I would recommend to my friends to go and teach in Korea.

Though Koreans have transitioned greatly into Western society, the traditional ways of thinking in many areas are still practiced. Koreans have a great respect for the family and hierarchy. Extended families (i.e., parents living with middle-aged married “children” and their grandchildren) are still commonplace, although this is rapidly changing. Among the older generation, the father is the primary wage earner, while the mother stays at home. Due to changing social mores and economic pressures, the necessity for families to have double incomes is rapidly growing in Korea. Although fathers are the primary income earners, in the majority of cases, salaries are entrusted to their wives and most day-to-day consumption decisions are at the discretion of the female spouse. US companies may wish to take into consideration these traditional family roles when marketing to Korean consumers.



I love Korean food. They are delicious and very tasty. I used to eat Korean food everyday while I was in Korea but not anymore. Whenever I miss Korea food, I go to the Korean restaurant and ordered the dish that I like. I am not saying that those Korean restaurants are bad in here in Fort Wayne, but the taste is very different for me. I am sure you guys know what I mean. Anyway my point is among those Korean dishes, Bulgogi is my favorite dish. thinly sliced or shredded beef marinated in soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, sugar, green onions and black pepper, cooked on a grill (sometimes at the table). Bulgogi literally means "fire meat". Variations include pork (Dweji bulgogi), chicken (Dak bulgogi), or squid (Ojingeo bulgogi).
This is what Bulgogi looks like!
