Hongshick's 3rd Journal

When I was high school student, I took world geography and world history. Because I really interested in other country’s culture. Especially, I liked to study Asia part. Though I lived in Asia, but I never been the other Asian countries before. The other Asian countries culture’s looks like very similar, but totally different.
For instance, Indian is Caucasian. That’s why they look so different with Korean, Japanese, and Chinese, which originated Mongol. They more look like western people. So some people called them Indo-European. Aishwarya Rai, who is very famous actress in India, has very attractive face. She has blue-green eyes. Actually I like blue eyes. I don’t like edge nose, huge eyes, and blond hair. But I really envy blue eyes. And her eyes are so beautiful. Her eyes remind me to Pacific Ocean.
India’s culture is very unique. They have traditional clothes, which is called Sari. Aishwarya Rai shows Sari on Oprah show. In my personal opinion, it seems very hot. India is not that cold country. I can’t understand why they made those clothes too long. But the fabric textile is so wonderful. Korea has traditional clothes too. But unfortunately, we don’t wearing those clothes often. Only on New years day or Chusuk (Korean Thanks giving day), we wearing our traditional clothes, called Hanbok. Because Hanbok is a little uncomfortable. And many people prefer to wearing suit or dress, instead wearing Hanbok, I insist that Korean should wearing Hanbok more often. Like, Sari, or Kimono, these traditional clothes are very popular in U.S.A. But most people don’t know about our clothes. Because Korean don’t usually wearing Hanbok.
I think, Aishwarya Rai is very proud of her country. She loves her traditional clothes, Sari. And she did not embarrassed when she talking that she still living with her family. That’s her life and her culture. And I thought India is very conservative country, but during write this journal, I changed. India has many appealing clothes and people that include western and eastern side. And I hope that many Korean enjoyed to wearing Hanbok someday.
