This story begun from the things that i didn't like before. My name is citra i was a 3rd grade student in indonesia university of education. being student in one of complicated major makes us need a refreshing sometimes. maybe is one of the reason my friends love korean pop music so much. i didn't know what is the related between korean pop and computer science (our major), but you know what...since my friends spread the korean wave, almost womans student infected (including me). Yaaa, i have been infected korean wave,That is became my reason to learn korean language and also to understood what they said in every television program, and known the meaning of song they sing. but in a fact, i got more than my expectation before. in 2nd grade of my course, the native speaker taking handling the class. one day, she invited us came to her house to tasted up how delicious korean food. we were so surprised about the food that she cooked, i thought we will eat the weird taste, but she made the food deliciously. actualy that's my first time taste korean food, but i'm so suitable about the taste. she told us the food she cooked is no sugar, in korea sugar is very expensive than honey, so korean people prefere use honey than sugar. she also told, because of korea has 4 different seasons, in every change of seasons the people must live struggle, because if you are not work harder, you will be died. Waaww...how amazing this country. I have just known about the reason of korean people very famous with the predicate of discipline and hard worker. she said that Indonesia has a arable land. when you do plant anything, it will be definitely produced something. But in Korea, not every seasons was good for planting, it's the reason groceries sometimes became very expensive. what a nice story, isn't it...?? i can learn korean culture is just from their food. i love story sharing with everyone because both of us have a own unique story that we can learn from it. :)
