Anyaha simnika! (Hello!) from South Korea, “The Land of the Morning Calm.” Korea is a rabbit-shaped country divided into two parts: North Korea and South Korea. South Korea is a land of beautiful mountains. The highest peak is called Halla-san. Seoul is the capital city of South Korea. It is one of the world’s 20 largest cities! Our main crop in South Korea is rice. At harvest time, farmers’ families work together to bring in the crops. Each year there is a Harvest Festival in Seoul to celebrate the end of the spring planting. There are jugglers, acrobats, dancers and magicians. The children eat rice candies and fly beautiful kites shaped like dragons and fish. We are famous for our ancient arts which still flourish today: painting and poetry and the making of fine porcelains, pottery and brass work. We love playing all sports, especially baseball, soccer, volleyball, and our own martial art, Taekwondo. We still enjoy traditional meals where we sit on the floor at a low table and eat with chopsticks from small bowls. Kimch’i is a favorite Korean dish made from Chinese cabbage, peppers and radishes. The Korean language is different from Chinese and Japanese and has its own alphabet. The costume I’m wearing is like the traditional outfit of young ladies in South Korea. The satiny jacket is decorated with shiny gold trim. South Koreans are very polite, friendly people. We love to laugh and make our guests feel welcome. I hope you will come to visit South Korea one day soon!
Here are some words to practice for fun: Thank you: kamsa hamnida. We are friends: Dongsin wun nawi chinku imnida. Father: Aboji. Mother: Omoni. House: Chip. Dragon: Yong.
