I definetely want to visit Korea!
I love watching Asian dramas, including Korean dramas of
course, since I was in the elementary school. I knew Korean songs through the
drama and I was amazed by the beautiful faces of Korean actors and actresses. It
was the time when K-pop was not that famous yet so I had only several friends
who had the same interests in the K-pop and it was really fun to talk with
them. Until now, watching Korean dramas and listening to Korean songs are still
included in my hobby lists. From then I also started to learn Korean language a
bit by bit.
I really want to go to Korea, Japan, and China since long
time ago because those countries represent East Asia which is really different
with South East Asia where I am living now. I believe those countries have the
same root but then they grew into each different country which have their own uniqueness.
For these past 5 years, I had been in Japan for study and I realized that Japan’s
position in the global economy has been shifted by Korea. Korea with their own history
and limitation now became one of the economic giant in Asia. How can Korea do
that? What does Korean people do in daily life and what kind of values they treasure
so that they can have this increased economic growth? Although I believe that Korean people and
Japanese people have very different characteristics, one thing in common is
that they are hard-working people. I have some Korean friends and they do study
hard and work hard. I think education makes Korea could be like now. Moreover, Korean
companies such as Samsung has shown their great innovation in technology which
then amazed me and stimulated my curiosity; how does Korea defeat Japan in
technology? I think by visiting Korea I would be able to answer to all those
questions.
Other than those issues, I want to know about plastic
surgery and cosmetics as well. Both are really cheap in Korea (compared to prices
in Japan) but the quality is very good. I am wondering how Korean people can do
that. I would be really happy if I can learn how to make cosmetics there!
My desire to visit Korea was a little fulfilled when I
visited Little World Inuyama in Japan. I saw traditional Korean house and I
could wear hanbok. I love hanbok very much because as a Muslim this traditional
cloth does not form body curves so it really suits me. But of course, it would
be great if I can wear hanbok in Korea and see directly the beauty of Korea.

One thing that made me quite sad and disappointed is that
until the last time I did not have a chance to visit Korea during my study in
Japan, although I like travelling and writing about my travelling experience in
my blog. Whereas I am back in Indonesia
now therefore I think my chance to visit Korea is getting smaller. But then I
read about this Global WOW Korea and I started to have hope again to visit Korea
for the first time in my life. I would be really grateful if I can get the prize
to visit Korea for just one time J
ibuuuk.... aku telat taunya :'((((
