In Week 13, because all three of us really want to travel to Korea, we decided to discuss the top tourist attractions to visit in Korea. So when later we do have a chance to visit there, this would be really helpful. One of the place I want to go the most is N Seoul Tower. I've been to there once but I could not have a chance to enter into the tower. I heard of that no trip to Seoul is complete without a trip to the famous N Seoul Tower. I want to check out the observation decks, which might give me an unbeatable panoramic view of Seoul, which might help me to take perfectly amazing pictures. Also, couples always visit the N Seoul Tower, so this must be so romantic. There’s a restaurant that is technically an observation deck in and of itself. This is a great place for a last meal in Seoul or for a date.
In Week 14, we discussed the age system in Korea. It is really different than in China and in U.S. In the United States, people's age is due to their birthday. For example, I was born in 1998 Sep30th. So I am 20 years old. WHile inKorea, age is calculated by the first day of the year. And as you were born, you are 1 year old. So I am 21 years old in Korea.

I also think the Korean age system is very interesting. My language partner and I talked about it a lot during our sessions. Since it is so different than in the U.S., it took me a while to understand why age plays such an important role in Korean society. But after my discussions, I think I can definitely understand Korean traditions a lot better.
