We rode to MGM (Muscat Grand Mall) to learn about Korea and each of us chose one out of five assignments. Tehva, for example, chose to do a crossword puzzle, while Tian chose a list of questions, which she had to answer by watching a video about Korea, and writing them down. As for me, I was stuck on a decision between the crossword and the movie questions, so I quickly chose to do the movie questions with Tian, because I love movies.
The movie was in two parts. The first part it showed was information about Arirang. (AIR-E-GONG) Arirang is a holiday to unite Korea and other countries overseas. It all started in Korea in the year of 1926. Children would learn about Arirang at the age of 13. They would wear a traditional dress called a Hanbok. There was also a special song about Arirang, and everyone who heard it and learned it could sing it beautifully. Arirang is also studied in China, which is the second largest Korean population. Arirang is just as important and special in Korea and China as rice.
The other part the movie showed was about kimchee. There are 3 ingredients in kimchee: cabbage, soy sauce, and pepper powder. They are put in pots that are used to store the kimchee, and the pots are put in the ground to age the kimchee. The season to make kimchee, or Kimjong time, is in the autumn. There are hundreds of kinds of kimchee, which you eat with rice.

Wow! Way to use your notes and write out a really informative blog, Cady! Impressive. I wonder if, after you compare notes with others, you will find different people learned different things about kimchee and Arirang during the expo we went to.
ReplyDeleteIs Arirang also the national anthem? I heard that in the video.
ReplyDeleteHow long do the kimchi people age the kimchi?
I think so. I don't know how long, I forgot.
