Civilization of my country : KOREA

There are many things to talk about Korean civilization. I will tell you few things which I think is the most interesting.
Firstly,
Writing: Korean Alphabet - Hangul
Korean people use their own alphabet called Han gul. It is one of the most efficient alphabet in the world. King Sejong made Han gul in 1444 during Chosun Dynasty (1393-1910). There are 24 letters, 14 consonants - ㄱ,ㄴ,ㄷ,ㄹ,ㅁ,ㅂ,ㅅ,ㅇ,ㅈ,ㅊ,ㅋ,ㅌ,ㅍ,ㅎ and 10 vowels -ㅏ,ㅑ,ㅓ,ㅕ,ㅗ,ㅛ,ㅜ,ㅠ,ㅡ, ㅣ.
Secondly, Korean art is very beautiful
Arts:
Korean art is famous for pottery, calligraphy and paintings. One of the famous paintings is Gumgangsan painted by Jeong Son(1676-1759). During this time, many painters traveled the countryside and painted many beautiful landscape. In other paintings, they drew birds, flowers,fish, and so on.
Thirdly, let me tell you about Korean religion
Religion:
In Korea, we have freedom of religion. There are four major beliefs: Confucianism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. However, there is no freedom of religion in North Korea. About 29% of Korean people are Christians, 23%, Buddhists and 46% no religion. Most of the Muslims are foreign people from Muslim countries. We also have festivals: Christmas and Buddha’s birthday.

Fourthly, We have government in Korea.
Government:
All civilization have a system of government.
We also so have government which is "Lee Mung Bak"
He is a president.

Amazing Christmas '_'*

My crazy vacation was pretty COOL !!!!!
In Fact, I am Korean but now I am living in Malaysia. At first I didn't know about Malaysia, but now I get to know
about Malaysia.

During the vacation, I went to PORT DICKSON.
Before I visited there, I did not even know where Port Dickson is. However, when I went there..it was really beautiful that it took my breath away.


The hotel made me crazy because the hotel was not built on the ground, just like other houses. The hotel was over the SEA! so I could easily SEE the sea, beach, lots of fish and turtles. And also the washroom was so fantastic!. When I took a shower, I could see the sea water right next to me. I was kind of scared as well as interested.


The Next moring, I got up a little earlier and went to the beach. I walked, played with the sand, and swam. In the afternoon, I went toplay golf with my parents. My parents love to play golf. The field was OKay that day, no rain, no storm, it was easy for me to play. I kind of enjoyed it

After playing golf we had late lunch at the hotel. It was amazing that there was an animal farm near the restaurant. There were peacoks, birds, chicken, rabbits..etc. I did touch the rabbit and it felt so soft and when I lifted the rabbit, it was light than I thought.


My vacation was nice and beautiful.
I want to go there again if I have a chance!! ^_^*
