people in korea are very fascinated about their country. korean people value their ancestors' hardships to become a new KOREA. Once you are in Korea, you will know what i am talking about. Throughout the whole country, you will hear old people saying how they love country.

what is the matter ?

today, i went down to the korean store on coldwater road. There are two korean stories in town owned by korean people. They know me since i shop at their stores once or twice a month. They are korean and they have been in US for at least 20 years. Out of the blue, i asked how the business is. they answered me with the smiling face that the business is doing much better than last 2 years ago. I am glad to hear the good news from them. In the store, you can get every korean groceries of course, the price is a bit higher than korea. But all the groceries was imported from Korea. so, if you want to eat authentic Korean food, i would recommand you the korean grocerise on Coldwater Road.

South Korean Business and Social Culture

Despite outside influences from its neighbouring countries, South Korea has maintained a distinct and homogeneous identity influenced by its religious beliefs and breathtaking landscapes. The people of Korea share a common pride in the country’s unique cultural and linguistic heritage that has emerged during her long and turbulent history. As a result, Korea boasts an enriched cultural outlook that is reflected in its current business culture.
Today i met my korean friend. She is an exchanged student from Seoul. I met her on campus by chance. Now, we meet her two or three times a week.we plan to go to the korean resturant on weekend. she has never been to the korean resturant in Fort Wayne. i love hanging out with her. she is so sweet and very beautiful.one time, she mentioned that in korea, there are a lot of private institutes that teach english. when i was in korea, there are a lot of foreigners from englsih speaking countries teaching english in korea. korea is very fascinated about learning english.The salary is good and they provide the accommondition. they even send you the airplane ticket once you signed the contract to teach english with the company.
i saw a korean movie on youtube. that movie is about a guy who came to study to the United States. In the movie, he was very shy at first talking to the americans. He was very upset in the first place because he could't speak enough english to communicate with other people. later, he began fluent in english and became a lawyer and went backe to korea to work for the country. i am very impressed with his motivation to study english. what i learned from him was you can get anything in life and you can be anyone if only you set your mind on it. In Korea, English Institutes are very popular. They are many institutes like math institute, english institute, music institute and you name it. Most parents send their kids to english institutes every day. Institues are like small private schools.Because english institues are very popular in Korea, Korean people are always looking for native english speakers from english speaking countries.today is a good day for me and i learned a new thing about world.
