Korea - Land
of the Morning Calm - Land of Miracle on Han
River .....
Korea for many years was
an enigma and one of the unexplored 'gems' of Asia. From its struggle for survival to becoming the
'Miracle on Han River', Korea continues to preserve its character and cultural
heritage.
Korea is one of the largest economies in Asia. It is one
of the four Asian tigers. It is a leader in advanced technologies and
innovation, e-ready infrastruture, and digital this and
that.
This small country is situated with the Yellow Sea to
the west, East Sea (Sea of Japan), and the Korea Strait and East China Sea to
the south. Korea is abundant in enchanting countrysides,
mountainous terrain, and a misty and romantic rainy season. There are over
3,000 islands in the west and south. JeJu-Do is the largest
island. The extinct volcano, Hallasan reaches 6,398 feet in
altitude.
There are over 48 million proud, spontaneous and friendly
people in Korea. It is one of the most densely populated countries in the
world. Christianity and Buddhism are predominant. 70%
of the population lives in urban areas with 25% in the capital of
Seoul.
Traditional
Korean meals have many 'Banchan' side dishes. KimChi is served at every
meal. Korean traditional music resembles the traditional music
of China and Japan. There are drum, mask and solo
improvisational traditonal dances.
There is the Korean phonetic
alphabet, Hangul that is very different from the way western alphabets form
words. Jikji is the earliest known book printed with movable metal
type in 1377. Hanji is a form of paper that can last for over 1,000
years.
Korea acquired the nickname of
the 'Hermit Kingdom' after it closed its borders to all foreigners in
the late 19th century. But today, it is a very modern and prosperous
nation of proud and polite people. South Korea is one of the
most open and rapidly changing societies in Asia.
South
Korea  is truly the Land of the
Morning Calm, and the Land of a Miracle on the Han
River.
