South Korea ~

Seul

The country that I would like to visit is South Korea because it has many historical places like temples, imperial castles and modern buildings that have adapted to the past. This country is known for spicy food like kimchi, their culture is very interesting especially when they show respect for the elderly.
Currently Korea has gained popularity for the song "Oppa Gangnan Style" by the PSY singer.

Besides visiting the capital (Seoul), I would go to Jeju Island, chosen one of the seven wonders of the world last year by popular vote by Internet. It has beautiful white sand beaches and fields of flowers with the most vibrant colors.

I dream of living in Korea because it is a very different country to Chile, but I see it very distant because the language is very difficult to learn. On the other hand live on  in Korea is very expensive, housing, food and needs basic, can mean a significant amount money.

Despite being an industrialized country there is a marked difference between men and women, this is the part that I not like about this country.

The photograph shows a Coker Spaniel puppy, the expression on his face suggests he is about to fall asleep. I like it because it reminds me of my pet at that age.

This image is of a mother panda and her son in an attitude of play. I like the photo because it confirms that the game is fundamental part of learning a baby.
