North Korean Forced to eat Grass

People in North Korea, going up to the hillside and mountains with bags and sacks and coming back down with grasses or some kind of plants. They use those grasses and roots as their foods; they make soup out of it. The reason people have to eat grasses or really not nutrition food, their government want to keep their foods for their military. So when other countries aid North Korea civilians for starvation, North Korean government take those foods from civilians and keep those for soldiers or sell those to other countries, even sometimes they sell these to who aid them. And North Korean government uses this money for buying more weapons or increasing their strength of army.

New Zealand- Maori Culture

New Zealand is the youngest country, which place in South Pacific. Also it’s the last major landmass to be discovered. New Zealand has a unique and dynamic culture by both Maori and European culture. The culture of Maori people affects the language, the arts, and even the accents of all New Zealanders. They love outdoors, sport, and the arts.

Types of Korean Food

Korea was once a primarily agricultural nation, and since ancient times rice has been harveted as Koreans' staple food. These days Korean food also contains a large variety of meat and fish dishes along with wild greens and vegetables. Various preserved Korean food, such as kimchi, soy paste and soy sauce are particularly popular due to their distinctive flavor and high nutritional value.

In Korean food all the dishes are served at the same time. A typical meal normally includes rice, soup, and several side dishes, the number of which vary. Traditionally, lower classes had three side dishes, while royal families would have twelve.
In Korea, like in neighboring China and Japan, people eat with chopsticks. However, a spoon is used more often in Korea, especially when soups are served. Formal rules have developed for table setting, which can vary depending on whether a noodle or meat dish is served.

Seoul, biggest city in Korea

Seoul is my hometown, which is the capital and largest city of South Korea. A megacity with a population of over 12 million, it is one of the largest and one of busiest city in the world. The Seoul National Capital Area, which includes the Incheon metropolis and most of "Gyeonggi state, has 24.5 million people, and is the world's second largest metropolitan area. Almost half of South Korea's population live in the Seoul National Capital Area, and nearly a quarter in Seoul itself, making it the country's foremost economic, political, and cultural center. You might think Seoul just looks like other busy modern cities like New York, LA, San Francisco or Chicago. But Seoul is well harmonized with old historical buildings and palaces, because Seoul has more than 2000 years of history.

My country

The " Korean flag" is called "Taegeukgi" in Korean. Its design symbolizes the principles of the yin and yang in Oriental philosophy. The circle in the center of the Korean flag is divided into two equal parts. The upper red section represents the proactive cosmic forces of the yang. And the lower blue section represents the responsive cosmic forces of the yin. The two forces make the concepts of continual movement, balance and harmony that characterize the sphere of infinity. The circle is surrounded by four trigrams, one in each corner. Each trigram symbolizes one of the four universal elements: heaven(more like sky), earth, fire, and water.
