My third time to visit Korea

I like travel and my dream is to tour twice a year. I hope I could tour Turkey and Italy once available. I visited China, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Thailand, and so on…. Every country has its various cultures. I learnt different things from these countries. Sometimes, the same thing doing in foreign and doing in local will bring different feelings i.e. the proverb said “While in Rome, do as the Romans do”.

Among these countries, I had three travel experiences in Korea. My first time to Korea was in 2005 for company tour. It was a boring tourist spots for me as I felt nothing special and nothing attractable there. After then, I decided not to go to Korea again. Nevertheless, one of my best friends called Joan who loves Korea so much. She invited me to travel Seoul in 2008. After my considered, I toured there again for my good friendship with Joan. On that time, I found Korean is friendly and Korean food is tasty thought some people might feel it is too spicy or too salty. In Feb. 2011, we went Seoul, it is my third time to visit this place and I felt this country is keeping progress. Actually, I got a lot in this travel. We planed this journey for our self including make a hotel reservation and so on… the Korean food is still tasty and Korean is still friendly. And, I found there are many Korean can speak Chinese as they had studied in China. So, it became easier to communicate with locals.

Due to national plot, our impress of Korean is cheating. In addition, the event of Taekwondo occurred few months ago, it reinforce people's prejudices. In this travel, one Korean asked us whether it is true that most Taiwanese don’t like Korean? At that moment, we were shocked and felt so embarrassed. In other case, a Korean asked us what relation between mainland and Taiwan? He told us his Chinese teacher in Beijing replied him “it is our interior problem, you needn’t to know.” We don’t answer it. But, we felt so fresh to hear this issue from foreign people. In short, I think a attentive tour can augmentation one’s experience and knowledge.
