A friend of mine told me this joke. What is yellow on the outside and white on the inside? A banana? No. An Asian American or in my case me.I got a good laugh at first, but then when I thought about it, it really made sense. Yellow represents the Asian skin color and white represents being acculturated on America and to white society.My experience growing up in the United States has been unique. I was born in Korea, but was raised by an American family. I have had the opportunity to be a part of two cultures, which most people can’t say they’ve had. There have been a few obstacles to overcome,

These days, we are accustomed to living with American culture. We eat hamburgers in McDonald’s and drink coffee in Starbucks. Furthermore, we buy clothes or shoes from Nike or New Balance and watch dramas and movies such as CSI or The Avengers. Like these, we are familiar with American culture and experience American culture in indirect ways. However, we don’t know about American culture deeply. There is a place that helps us know about American culture. It is American Corner. In this “Cover Story” the Gazette will introduce American Corner.American Corner is supported by the American Embassy

The more historical consciousness we have, the stronger the historical identity of our country will be. Therefore, making Korean history an obligatory subject on the Korean SA
․ Name: Denis Soriano․ Age: 22․ Country: El SalvadorQ. How is your school life? I’m a little bit tired because I study from 9am to 4pm and then again we have to study in the dormitory and I get bored. On weekends, I usually meet my friends. We explore many places in Daegu. Last weekend, I went to Palgong Mountain with my friends. Also, I like going downtown. Sometimes, I go to a traditional tea house. In the dormitory, I usually read books, play games on the Internet, and watch movies. But I like meeting people best. When I am stressed out, I listen to music or sleep all day.
Maybe going Dutch is a very sensitive issue for both men and women. Many couples are at a loss for what to do at the counter. In my case, I pay for some desserts such as coffee or drinks if my boyfriend pays for a meal. I am accustomed to paying less than him. It is also very common in general for couples.

The answer was simple, “There is no wonder that I am treated well because I am worth it”. There’s som
