Chungjang-ro Street is a great place to visit to experience fashion, art, and culture. It is Gwangju’s major fashion district and the city's center for fashion. Here, we can find both trendy and traditional clothes. Additionally, it serves as a vibrant cultural and entertainment center. The street i
Mokpo is a beautiful city that is full of historical sites and cultural heritages, where visitors can learn about Korean history and the culture of modern times. Last October, I took a day trip to Mokpo with my Korean friend. It was my first trip to another city outside Gwangju since starting to stu
Damyang is a place that captivates your heart and soul with its bamboo forest. It was not long ago when all of us had to cancel our summer vacation plans due to the raging pandemic. Visiting family, going to the nearest beach with friends, or maybe a trip to another city or country had been tucked a
About two hours away from the Buk-gu campus of Chonnam National University to the South lies the village of Gangjin-gun. To be blunt, there is not much going on in this small agricultural county, except for the several dozens of local tourists flocking to the green embrace of the hills in the heart
When I first came to Chonnam National University to study, I knew very little about Korea and its culture. I might have learned a handful of things by watching Korean dramas and following K-pop groups, but I did not know much about the history and traditional culture. I was very interested, however,
People think about only two things when they hear about my country, Turkey; kebabs and ice cream. There are, however, lots of interesting places which have unique geological, historical and cultural features. These places also have their own cuisines with a range of tastes appreciated by other count
The Chonnam Tribune provides an international student’s hometown story to promote mutual understanding between international and Korean students from the 353rd issue in March 2019. This page has reported the following countries: Uzbekistan, East Timor, Finland, France, Germany, Australia, Ecuador, P
It has been said in Islam that people should acquire knowledge from the rocking cradle to the grave. To acquire knowledge, people do not need to rely on only textbooks, but they can also acquire knowledge by traveling the world. Today, I will take you, through this paper, to a remote/unprivileged vi
One thing that many people worldwide appraise about Spain is probably its architecture. People travel large distances to see Gaudi’s architectural ensembles in Barcelona, especially the Basilica of the Holy Family; Santiago Calatrava’s City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia; and other historical cons
Birds and travelers have no permanent homes, they live temporarily and consider those places their homes. I consider myself a traveler who is in transit all the time. Even though our whole life is based on travel, we travel from childhood to adulthood, from young to old, and so on. I have lived in S
I have been living away from my home country for a few years now. There are many things I obviously miss from time to time. I was especially excited to go back to Ecuador last summer because it was the first time I was going back home with a person who was visiting from another country. Although mos
Welcome to Canberra, the ‘Bush Capital’. Being the capital city of Australia, Canberra is a small city of 400,000 people surrounded by nature reserves, low mountains, and sparse woodlands (otherwise known as ‘the bush’ in Australia), hence the name ‘Bush Capital’. The most popular story behind how t
Many people think of beer, sausages and football when they hear Germany, but we have so much more to offer than that. Lush green forests and lakes meet big modern cities. Hundreds of castles and sleepy villages nestle into beautiful mountain sceneries. Because it is in the middle of Europe, travelin
I have only been in Korea for a few weeks but I have already met many Koreans who showed me how much they like France and especially Paris. Always trying to exchange French words with me or telling me about the vacation time they spent in my hometown. So I thought that I could write this paper to sh
When I first came to Korea, I was surprised by how many people knew about my home country, Finland. Our population is very small compared to the rest of the world, so I had not expected anyone to know about us. It is a great feeling; whenever someone hears I am from Finland, the first thing they say

Fergana is one of the most beautiful, modern cities that left a remarkable history in Uzbekistan. The city is on the southern edge of the Fergana Valley located in Central Asia's southeast corner. Most people around the world recognize Fergana with its eminent history. Millions of years ago, the val
Some people may think that the only dish of the Uzbek kitchen is pilaf. However, it is far from being so. The Uzbek national kitchen has a long history and is closely connected with the Uzbek culture, language, traditions, climatic and geographical conditions. Unlike their geographical neighbors (Ka
When someone says Indian food, the first thing that might pop up in your head is ‘curry’! However, Indian food is so much more diverse than just curry. It is my pleasure to introduce to you some very delicious South Indian dishes that are local to my hometown and also to many parts of South India. I
