Understand differences.....

with my companions, in Sokcho which is famous for beautiful mountain and sea.

I think that places where people live together have similar factors. However, we need to adapt to the new environment because of different habits and foods.

When I arrived in Iowa City and lived for 2weeks, I could find the similarities between Iowa City and Seoul in my country. Those are characteristics of city which most cities already have: most people move by driving their car and like to go to big markets like Wal Mart and Hy-vee. Also, most people like a kind person. I think that a person of kind character is lovely anywhere. I saw not only very kind men and women but also rude and disgraceful man. I think character depends on individual not on the country.

In Iowa City, the most distingushed thing from Seoul is a large land. Houses are far from others and I cannot see apartment here. I lived on the 15th floor of the apartment when I was in Seoul and many people also live in apartment because my country has the lack of space.

And I usually used chopstics and spoon in eating meals while American use forks and knives. One thing that I was confused in Iowa is that people depend on the rule of walking on the right side. Besides, most Amerian eat hamburger including meat or chicken and steak as a main dish while rice is a main food in Korea. In addition to these, there are many differences.

Now I am looking for unlikeness between American and Korean and knowing a new culture makes me excited.
