Cultural post #5 with artifact

[Mary Lee]

In talking about my plans for the summer with my learning partner, I was reminded of my trip to Korea two years ago. I visited Korea for the first time since I was 5 years old. There, we visited my relatives in Gwang-ju(광주) where my parents are originally from. Since I was in Korea, everytime I greeted someone older than me I bowed. I got to experience a lot of the food culture there with the open grills and stoves where you can watch your food be made as well as the street food. In the picture below, we were at one of the beaches in Jeju Island(제주도). Jeju Island is one the most popular tourist places as a vacation place with its unique food and beautiful scenery.
