(고요한 아침의 나라) Land of the Morning Calm
Coming to Korea is one of the safest choices you can make. With free air fare, you’ll essentially be transported to a land where a living, culturally unique history is placed side by side with sky scrapers and the boons of modern technology (all the while earning and saving considerable amounts of money). You’ll be able to understand, experience and participate in another culture, while perhaps learning about yourself in the process. Some of the things that you’ll experience are:
The Special City (서울특별시)
The duality of Korea is most easily demonstrated by taking a stroll through the country’s capital, the sprawling megalopolis of Seoul. Home to over 12 million people from all over the world, Seoul embodies Korea’s strive towards the future while maintaining a pride in its past. A five minute taxi ride can take one from the traditional market of Insadong to the bustling Center City.
(식사하셨습니까?) The Tastes of Korea
“식사하셨습니까?” A phrase traditionally used as a greeting, it literally asks “Have you eaten yet?” It aptly introduces Korea’s love and embracing of all things gastronomical. Korean cuisine can range from the spicy Korean staple of Kimchi and Rice to grilled Pork and a bottle of Korean Soju, and everything is served with a wealth of side dishes. At the same time, Western food chains have been accepted and incorporated into the Korean palate, leaving you with many options to appease your appetite.
(세계화 합시다!) Globalize Korea!
After years of oppression and economic hardships, Korea is making a dramatic push towards making its name on the global market. A prime example of Korean ingenuity, drive, and global aspiration is the Samsung Group. Initially started as a dried foods trade export company, it has expanded to become a leader among many fields, including home electronics and telecommunications. The Samsung Group’s drive for a place in the world’s markets epitomizes the Korean work ethic so easily seen throughout Korea. The desire to establish a global presence creates the need for teachers like you.
