Where is the Republic of Korea? Most of the people who are reading this article probably know the answer to this question. However, people living outside of East Asia may not be so sure. I personally have met many people who could not point out Korea on a map. A decent guess would be anywhere from inside China to the Kamchatka Peninsula.So should we be offended by their indifference or ignorance? What if a similar question was presented to you? Where’s the Republic of Kyrgyzstan? What’s the capital of South Africa? Where’s the UN headquarters located? Of course, not many people can be an encyc
Each person has his own vague fear of what he or she has never experienced. The African continent is one example of that sort of fear. However, from the moment I came to support a child from Uganda several years ago, I became interested in the African continent, so I decided to go to Africa before my graduation. At that time, I just wanted to experience a place I’d never travelled to and to deliver my love to the African children.

People have the right to express their feelings. Nevertheless, most people cannot express their feelings because they don’t hav
Have you ever ridden a train such as the KTX, Saemaul or Mugunghwa? I’m sure that most people have been on a train at least once, but a steam locomotive is not common these days. Steam locomotives were used in the old days, and can be seen in some dramas and movies. In Jeollanam-do, there is a place which is famous for steam locomotives and its beautiful nature. This place is Seomjin River Train Town. Here, there are a variety trains as well as drama and movie sets, rail bikes and beautiful scenery. At first, I want to introduce the area of Gokseong, which is located in the northeast of Jeolla
If we say Wall-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) is an animation movie, but Wall-E does not really feel like an animation movie, many people will say, “What are you talking about?” Then, how do you feel when you hear words like ‘robots’ or ‘plants’? Do you think they are interrelated? When I first saw Wall-E , I checked the cover of the DVD and I was surprised. Initially, I thought that it was made for children, but later I found it nevertheless contains many important messages. When you see the movie poster, you will notice that Wall-E is a machine. However, when you watch the movi
