Summers are always busy. For as long as I can remember, every summer vacation was a testament to how well I planned out the year.

On a hot summer day, one typical go-to meal for Korean is ‘Samgyetang’. Samgyetang is a traditional Korean dish that is similar to the Western-style chicken soup. The chicken is filled with a variety of healthy ingredients: ginseng, rice, garlic, jujube, astragalus root, and spring onion. Eating Sam
Earlier this month, I visited an old bookstore in Seoul, South Korea. This bookstore, unlike the others, sells second-hand books at a cheap price. This bookstore, called Seoul Chaek Bogo, was opened last year in March. Currently, it is known that 170,000 books are for sale in this store. Each day, h
There are many different types of high schools in South Korea such as academic, international, science, and foreign language.

Everyone in a high school history class would have learned about the Terracotta Warriors of Emperor Qin. As an influential figure in the Ancient Chinese history, Emperor Qin’s necropolis is considered a great feat. This summer, on a family trip to Xi’an, I visited the excavation site of the Terracot

It was time for us to show off what we had prepared for the past five months. My final weeks of winter

When I visited Jeju Island this summer, I immediately decided that this visit had to be different. I would not just relax at the hotel or go swimming but take the time to visit areas in Jeju. I wanted my previous article, which was on how movies affect people’s values and thoughts, to be continued b

As my senior year is getting closer, this summer break had the utmost importance when compared to other vacations. This vacation, I wanted to dedicate my time in preparations for college admissions. Specifically, I wanted to finish my college essays. However, I wasn’t certain of my major, so I wante
In 2018, around 500 Yemeni refugees arrived in Jeju Island. Violence from an ongoing civil war and fear of persecution in Yemen forced them to leave the country, only to find that they face opposition here in Korea as well.

Businessmen in disheveled shirts with neckties tied around their heads swaying back and forth drunk is a common sight to see in South Korea during any night of the week. Drinking 13.7 spirit shots per week on average, South Korea’s hard liquor consumption rate is well above any other country in the
This year, my friends and I participated in the World Scholar’s Cup (WSC). The World Scholar’s Cup is an international competition in which teams of three compete against each other in four different categories: collaborative writing, scholar’s challenge, team debate, and scholar’s bowl.

When I typically visit a foreign city, I tend to dislike going to galleries or museums; the thought of spending time at an amusement park or eating at popular local cafes excites me far more. But when I visited the Getty Villa in Malibu, California, I felt captured by the architecture and aesthetic
