Korea is a beautiful country with a history of over 5,000 years.  It is hard to comprehend a culture that has lasted that long.  Even with this rich history from the past, Korea can be seen as a progressive and modern country.  The modern buildings of the big cities rival those of any other modern country, yet scenes from the past coexist with the new.

Koreans are very friendly and loving, and are excited to try their English. It has become a major tourist destination as many from around the world begin to learn about the beauty of this country.  Korea is a mountainous country with nearly 50 million people.  Seoul, the capital, has over 10 million people in an area of New York city.  It is a very modern city within an ancient city, with high-rise office buildings and trendy department stores right around the corner from ancient palaces and shrines.

Most Koreans live in new high-rise apartments.  Most of the apartments are 20 stories high and similar in design.  When you enter a Korean home the first thing you do is remove your shoes.  Koreans eat a lot of rice with vegetables and fruit at every meal.  They also eat meat that is cooked right at the table on a gas cooking stove.  They also have kimchi at every meal - and it is hot!.  Most Koreans usually sit on the floor while eating.
