Research Chinatown

Chinatown was established by the Chinese in 1883. People came to Korea during war time, and they were concentrated in Incheon. They had to earn money to raise their children. They built a town that could experience Chinese culture. They have tried to remember their tradition and made those things to product. There are Mooncake, Black noodle, Chinese dress and Mask dance. They started to sell food and play performance. Chinatown was becoming as a basement to Chinese laborer. In this moment Korean got interest in Chinese culture. “It was also known as a tourist destination as specified in the Maintenance Section of Modern Cultural Tourism Zone in Chinatown and the Ministry of Culture in 2001”

(ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/).

My experience in Chinatown

I have been to Chinatown when I was a child. It was so fantastic that I can remember it very clearly. I remember that there were many attractions and amazing things. It was a very good place to experience Chinese culture. I have gotten impression on two things, Moon cake and Mask dance. Moon cake is a kind of bread, the Chinese have eaten Moon cake with watching full moon for good luck at their thanksgiving day. Mask dance is a dance with wearing horrible mask, the Chinese have danced for centuries because they believe that this dance can exterminate ghost. Wearing horrible mask is a key point of this dance. They have thought that the effect gets larger if the mask is more horrible. I also have been to a Chinese souvenir shop. I bought Chinese dress that I still have in my wardrobe. This memory is very wonderful to me. I surely admit that this experience has influenced  me. I think it is good to my children to experience foreign culture.

Summer Vacation

In summer vacation I experienced various things. During the vacation I studied my major, climbed a mountain, played with my friends. I had two large memories. First, I had overseas trip with my family. It made me excited a few months ago. We went to the Philippines. I think that it was so hot and had wet weather. Fortunately, the weather was not hotter than Korea. We went to famous tourist attractions. The sights were good and the people were really nice.  I enjoyed skin scuba and snorkeling. It  saw various fish and seaweed. Seafood dish was also very nice. Although dishes were a bit salty, type of fish and taste was great. I wanted to enjoy this tour for a month. It’s a shame that I stayed for a week. I want to go to the Philippines with my family or friends again. Second, my family moved to another city. We lived in Incheon for fifteen years. So I did not want to go to another city, but we had to go. From then I couldn’t see my friends. It made me depressed. I felt strange about everything.
First of all I didn’t know the way to my new home. For example, what number of bus I had to take. I had many difficulties because of moving to a new home. This summer vacation was not only good experiences, but also bad things.

MON 11:00~1:00

My name is Lee Su Ran. I’m twenty-one years old. I have four family members. I’m from Incheon in Korea. I would like to tell you about my hometown. My hometown has a lot of beautiful places. First, In Incheon there are seas, and  we can go on special rides in the seas. How wonderful it is! I think it’s a sight you can’t see anywhere else. This place is called Wolmido Island, and I recommend this place to lovers. The seas are made of flat mud, and has sea creatures. This is a great place for children and families. Second, Incheon is famous for seafood and has markets for marine products because Incheon has many seas. People who live in near the Incheon almost come to here to buy seafood. Third, Incheon has an area called  China foods(Noodles with Black Soybean Sauce, Chinese mandu etc). Also, you can experience China traditional games. When I was young, I often went to Chinatown with my family, and I liked to go there. Even now I sometimes go there with my friends. Last, Incheon is near Seoul. As you know Seoul is the capital city of Korea, so there are stores and central buildings. We can go to Seoul by subway, it takes only twenty minutes. I’m satisfied with this fact. I hope you get to visit my hometown-Incheon!
