     Philippine Street in Hyehwa-dong is renowned for flee market. Philippines who live in Korea call it “the 2nd Manila.” The market has eleven-year-long history; about a decade ago, Philippine Catholic priest visited Korea and started the flee market. Unlike other flee markets, people sell Philippine products. You can taste Filipino food like Balut (boiled egg), cassava (cheese-cake), and sausage. 
 

 
      There are other foreign towns in Seoul such as Little Tokyo (Dongbu Ichon-dong), Nepal road (Changshin-dong), and Russian village (Dongdae-moon). And even more are located outside Seoul. Foreigners have now become our neighbors. Whenever you want refreshment but lack time for a short trip, try visiting foreign-neighborhood in Korea.

 Moreover, the name Kimchi might seem rather childish at first, but Yu explains there is a special reason why they placed it at the core of their tour. “We cannot talk about Korean food without mentioning Kimchi, and it is also the most well known food outside Korea. It has unimaginable possibilities in cuisine, we will be combining Kimchi, as a representative Korean food, and other regional foods, like a fusion--resulting in Kimchi Taco, Kimchi Kebab, and Kimchi Paellasot—so that the natives can take in Korean food more easily.” Through the tour, Yu hopes to express the flexibility of Korean food: its ability to fulfill sweetness, spiciness, saltiness, and even bitterness, at the same time providing nutritious dishes.

However, their days have not always been easy. Since they were the only interested students when they first had the idea, some of their acquaintances were doubtful of their attempt. Moreover, still young and inexperienced, getting sponsors and supporters were challenging. Yu expresses the team’s last minute tension, “We are still very imperfect. This project is not an easy one so we feel pressure and always feel nervous and worried.” Fortunately, the big problems are all behind now, and they are at the stage of completing their contracts for financial support. Afterwards, they will start training for actual cooking. The Kimchi Bus is expected to set off during the mid September after Chusuk(Korean Thanks Giving). After an opening event in Korea, the bus will go oversea to Russia, cross Eurasia, Middle East, Europe, and finally, North America by July next year.

So, how did these men become such passionate cooks (Yu says that he is not a professional cook yet, but he will be one in just two months)? Shim says that he started to cook in high school. “I sometimes cooked at home just for fun. The food did not taste good, but cooking itself was just fun. Later, I took a professional path in cooking because I believed it was something I could really enjoy without getting restricted by money.” Yu, on the other hand, says that he naturally grew fond of cooking because his parents were busy, and he had to make his own meals.

 

Even though both had started cooking at a relatively early age, they both expressed the importance of other factors than technical skills. Yu says “Cooking is not only about technical skills. It is very scientific and complex. Thus, those hoping to become great chefs obviously need to have concrete foundations. Also, faith in oneself and what one is doing is the foremost important thing. ‘Do I really want to do this, and can I be good?’ When you can say yes to these questions, then you can persuade your parents, or else overcome their opposition.” Shim added to this, and said, “To cook properly, you also need to study hard generally. Studying hard will not only help you in learning professional cooking, but also help you in the long run. Illiterate cooks will cook mechanically, whereas literate cooks are more creative and gain more knowledge more quickly than those who are not.” Shim furthered his answer by briefly introducing Heston Bluemental, the world famous cook whom he respects the most. “Bluemental reinterpretates simple, ordinary foods with his highly advanced and scientific skills into something completely original and sophisticated. Moreover, rather than learning from famous chefs, he pulled his restaurant Fat Duck up to the second best restaurant in the world with his own genuine ideas. He’s an honest chef and scientist.”

Lastly, to the question of whether there are any bigger or personal goals in doing the Kimchi Bus project, Yu demonstrated great zest, “I suppose it’s also about challenging myself. How much can I achieve. After completing the 2006 trip with no money, I tasted the savour of accomplishing my goals and grew more confident about challenging myself.” Shim, in contrast, expressed hopes of promotion in his career.

In ending the interview, leader Yu closed by saying, “Many people ask what we are planning to do after the tour, but we have not gone that far yet. Right now, our mind and body are busy enough with Kimchi Bus, and we really cannot think about other things until it is over. After the trip, many changes will have occurred, and I suppose we will be acting according to those changes.”

Beijing’s struggle to spread its environmental spirit all over the world!

   From 7^th to 10^th of June, people from all over the world gathered in Beijing exhibition center. The world’s largest environmental exhibition was being held, and countless firms and government officials visited here to learn more about Beijing’s growing interest in the environment and its environmental market. CIEPEC (China International Exhibition Protection Exhibition and Conference) was an extraordinarily superb opportunities for a variety of people, including youth.

 In front of the entrance of CIEPEC's main hall, the place where visitors' loads were checked.

   Right after getting a free ticket, there was a quick monitor of my loads just like the one in the airport. After that, writing a register and getting a card were still required. After having finished passing through all those complex ‘entrance tests’, the world’s largest environmental exhibition center halls emerged in front of my eyes.

  Colossal main halls 1A and 1B exhibited Chinese local firms’ products, and the rest of the ten more halls exhibited the products and seminars from China, Korea, Japan, USA, Belgium, Italy, Canada, France, Hong Kong and so on. Hong Kong pavilion had a very lively and exotic atmosphere. “We dismantle computers into the pieces of components and extract useful materials from them or recycle them into another products,” said a representative of an electronic recycling company in Hong Kong, the Li Tong Group. “Our main environmental aim is to ‘reduce natural resources exploitation’. To tell you our standard operating procedures, firstly, we get goods and verify weight and quantify them. Secondly, we remove labels with customers’ intellectual properties. We dismantle, separate and sort the goods. Thirdly, we destroy them and weigh the materials. Lastly, weight verification and issue certification of destruction is carried on. An example for our company’s job can be extracting gold from electric chips and shred parts of computer components into ferrous. We wish to extract as much as we can to save one more useful raw materials and natural resources.”

 

   CIEPEC was a brisk and delightful exhibition. This time in 2011, CIEPEC had its 12^th exhibition in Beijing which started 24 years ago; It is held once in two years. Numerous firms revealed their environmentally friendly products at CIEPEC. Some of them had tanks which filtered polluted water into cleaner tap water, a newly-made flow meters and brand-new machines which measured the level of pollution in the air for 24 hours. Also, several seminars about their environmental strategies and policies were held at parts of each hall. The students interested in environment and environmental business as well as geography and science would be welcomed to visit CIEPEC, as they can attend seminars and wander around and listen to each pavilions’ representatives’ speeches and explanations.

   Now the CIEPEC is receiving more and more attention, as it is one of the international meetings in China, a new "star nation" which has growing markets in almost all fields. It is not a bad idea if one interested in environmental areas visit this extremely huge and enthusiastic ‘environmental festival’ with a Chinese friend beside him. CIEPEC is one of the revealers of China’s growing interest in environment, which rapidly mounted around the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. In 1993, China was refused to hold Olympic games in Beijing due to its environmental problems. Since then, Chinese government embarked on environmental plans and projects to appeal the world with the image of a better nature and environment.

Beijing’s environmental condition in 2011!

 

As described above, Chinese government has struggled to raise the quality of China’s environment and to obtain more concerns and helps from all over the world; for example, through CIEPEC, China drew the world's attention on its environmental market. 

    “Breathe in, and feel the delicious chemicals in the air of Beijing!” My friend shouted out loud as we had just placed our sneakers on the land of Beijing international airport in 2008. Beijing was infamous for its environmental pollution and the areas rife with garbage due to the past’s rapid industrialization. However, Beijing in the year of 2011 is not the one like Beijing in the past anymore. China and its government is striving to be ‘greener’ right now.

 

When I just came to Beijing as a little student in 2006, I shivered in a tiny guilt for dropping glasses of juice, used tissues, torn and ripped plastic bags and unrecyclable wastes in the ‘same’ garbage bin. As a girl whom entirely got used to separate garbage collection system, I was shocked to see people throwing away garbage without any identification for the recyclable garbage in Beijing. However, by now, more and more Beijing citizens are taking ‘greener’ actions. Beijing in 2011 has the rubbish bins with ‘recyclable’ and ‘other wastes’ sections for the most of its streets.

 

Beijing’s street in the middle of June had relatively clean and neat figure. Street cleaners in orange uniform were sweeping the street and there was no rubbish on the street. “It seems there is not much garbage, but it’s because we all clean it up,” said a man, one of the street cleaners. “Several people still lack the awareness to put garbage in the rubbish bin. They attach posters and advertisements onto walls and throw garbage away at any place.” Unlike Beijing citizens’ answers that the street is free from much garbage than the past, the cleaners disapproved this. However, in some places, citizens were following the ‘green action’. “Well, we separately put garbage into the bins in our house!” Two local school children said with a definite tone. “I separately throw away wastes from the kitchen and the recyclable ones,” said a housewife in a village. There has been gradual change in the view on the recycle by Beijing citizens.

  However, it was a different case for the residents in a poor local village. On the grayish and dusty cement, piles of garbage were mingled into smelly balls, and almost everyone in the village did not separately dump rubbish. Also, there was no suitable trash can for such action. Though it started to show several advances in the Beijing streets to get rid of countless garbage, several poor villages still suffer from the garbage. It seemed there should be more emphasis of cleaning garbage by Chinese government for them to live in a much more neat and clean environment. My math teacher, a ChaoXianZu(ethnic Korean immigrants living in China) explained this situation. "Clearly, as Chinese government has strived to get better in its envrionment around 2008, although people still throw away garbage anywhere, the increased number of street cleaners these days clean up all the garabage in the street. Only those local villages still need more recognition of the importance of cleaning rubbish."

   API (Air Pollution Index) is the measurement of a certain place’s air pollution. 101 API shows unhealthy level, 201 a very unhealthy level, and 301 a very dangerous level. The air of Beijing usually has the API of between 60~90, 20~50 when favorable, and 100~120 when the air is heavily thick with dust and sand. Numerous people are interested in Beijing’ atmosphere, as most of them bet its poor quality. However, most of the Beijing citizens considered the air quality as satisfying and breathable. Some of them even said the quality improved after the 2008 Beijing Olympic game. Before the Olympic games, Beijing were made embarrassing as several athletes publicly announced that they were not participating in the Olympics due to the shoddy quality of Beijing’s air.

  By now, Beijing has much more sunny days with brighter and fresher air. The average API of Beijing from June 1^st to June 5^th in 2007 is known to be around 92.8, but the average API from June 1^st to June 5^th in 2011 is 63.4. There has been much change in the air quality before and after the Olympics. Since the average API from June 1^st to June 5^th in 2008, right before the Olympic game which was in August is around 57.6, it can be considered that Beijing Olympic games had served as a momentum for Beijing to endeavored to make a development its air quality; as what Beijing citizens exactly said. For example, as Beijing is always crowded, Chinese government aimed to reduce cars in China into 240,000 for the air with less chemicals and pollution.

Crowded Beijing full of cars and people; the air that day was a little foggy and stifling.

   These all show Chinese government's attempts for a higher quality of its nature, especially the one in its capital city, Beijing. Obviously, Beijing's environment has made a progress compared to the past, before the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Even though several people criticize China for the  pollution in the air, rivers, oceans, forests, soil, food and so on, the fact that China and Beijing's land is too large for the total perfection evenly spread all over their land in the natural environment and the another fact that compared to speedy industrialization, Chinese government has made a great deal of efforts such as numbers of events, exhibitions like CIEPEC, prohibiting smoking inside public places, giving credits to environmentally-friendly companies, roof greening...etc cannot be ignored.

Now the world's eyes are on China, and some even expect it to be the world's most powerful country soon in the future. Its environmental issues will determine China's future of becoming a such country. Beijing's environment, will it make China number one or the last one?

 

 

Finding MoMA

The MoMA Building, fromthe opposite end of the MoMA building

Umwelt. Envrionnement. Ambiente. 環境. Environment. 환경.

These are six different languages to indicate ‘environment’. But they are the same: they all contain the meaning of ‘ring’, surrounding and making continuity with something else.

Likewise, environment is what connects everything in the world. Within that ring of connection, we receive comfort, astonishment, and learn true values of life. Paradoxically, we face environmental problems that make us uneasy. It does not hurt to say our whole life style is heavily dependent on the environment that surrounds us. While some are somewhat aware, many urban citizens, especially, minimize the environment’s scale to godforsaken rainforests. They keep on forgetting that our daily conducts on environment go once around the world and eventually come back to us, as it is a continuous ring.

 

Let us take a break from such a consequential matter.

Who could not like a good movie? Its messages are sent via effective soundtracks, actors’ publicity, storylines, etc.

Red carpet, flashlights, spotlights, beautiful floor length dresses, celebrated celebrities are what take over the general image of any film festival. However, as this environment film festival became familiar to the public, the event turned out to be about pure love and respect for our surroundings.

From 2004, Green Film festival in Seoul (GFFIS) has been held by Korea Green Foundation. Since its inception, it has been screening environment-related movies and awarded them. It is one brilliant course of direction to approach such an ambiguous matter to the general public. Now, it has become the most well known green-film festival in Korea.

About 130 different films were shown in Sangam CGV in a week, which were from 30 different countries.  According to Greenfund, they open 'partial competition', and take in films theming environment, water, food, energy related films. Among them, Green fund selects outstanding films to award them. The entire festival's meaning can be found in its intention of trying to raise awareness about the issue. Also, it is focusing on monitoring ways to solve and mitigate the problem through an art called 'movie'.

On May 18^th, the opening ceremony for the 8^th GFFIS was held in Yonsei University. The opening movie was <I’m sorry, Thank you> directed by Yim Soon-Rye, Song Il-Gon, Park Heung-Sik and Oh Joum-Kyun.

‘Many of us make lame excuses that we do not go across environment very much in our crazy lives. But, when we look around, our pets bring the environment close, the closest we can get. This movie is to reemphasize the reality of pets living in concrete forest with human beings. The importance of living things as a whole and the meaning of co-existence can be recaptured in the movie.’ said in its program announcement sheet.

     In 1960s, Koreans went to Germany in a hope of financially stable-life. Men and Women worked as miners and nurses respectively. Their life was not juicy at all; in fact, miners had to work in 40 degrees hot and 3000m deep underground. However, their influence to Korean economy was massive – they earned 30% of Korea’s national export. 
     Despite Korea’s huge economic improvement, people still visit Germany. Some wish to achieve their goals, look for refreshment, and to challenge. While I was on my two-week long backpacking in Germany, I met three Korean ladies who visited Germany for different purposes. (Two of them were cousins of my travel roommates, and the other was random backpacking college student.)


Granny Nana in Kassel

     Nana (the second from the left in the image) first stepped on Germany at her age of 20 because she wanted to study industrial design at university in Kassel. When she arrived at Germany, she had only studied German during 3 years of her high school life. Despite the language barrier she decided to study in Germany to achieve her dream. (She commented she used to dream of becoming a world renowned designer.) According to her, she was the only Korean in the university. In other words, she had to be strong and independent to survive in foreign land. While attending the university she decided to open a small organic toy store for babies. She named her store Nanchen after her name. And her store which began as a flagship store now became successful toy company with forty years history.
      I asked two cliché questions to her: What does Germany and Korea means to you, respectively? She answered without a doubt. If Korea mentally supported her, Germany physically assisted her dream. Her family in Korea encouraged her, and people in Germany gave her an opportunity to challenge.
      She also commented, “I never regretted my coming to Germany. True. It was difficult to adjust to completely new environment alone. However even such hardships helped me achieve my goal. Never stop but challenge; then, there will be a way.”



Aunt Lina in Berlin

     Lina (the first from the left of upper image) has lived in Germany for three years. Before, she had lived and worked in Korea for about a decade. She used to work as music department marketer in S company. Though she was living financially successful and stable life at Korea, she was dissatisfied with her life. She found repetitive and routine office work tired. Thus she decided to come to Germany – since she majored German language at the university – and refresh her life. Until now, she seems to enjoy her life in Germany.
     I asked the same question as I did to Nana, and Lina’s reply was very different from Nana’s. Her answer was simple: “Korea is closed and Germany is open.” She believed despite much globalization, Korean society is still conservative and closed minded. She continued that average life of an adult is too busy to rest. “Koreans work for the company and family rather than themselves. I think they should know how to work and play just like Germans or any other Europeans.”
     During the weekends she practices piano which she have always wanted to learn. And she attends German class at the university nearby. She advised us not to spend time merely studying and working; she wanted us three to try what we like.



Anonymous Backpacking Student at ICE (IntetCity Express)

     While heading to Berlin by night train, I met Korean backpacker. She 23-year-old student was traveling Germany alone. According to her she had traveled Swiss and Austria with her friend, and they separated at Germany.
     She was taking time off university for a year and travel around Europe. I asked, “Why did you decide to travel for so long?” Just like previous two ladies, anonymous backpacker wanted some change. “Having lived as a typical Korean university student for few years, I forgot what I wanted to do. I cannot grasp what I would like to do in the future. I needed some time to meet people, get advices, and learn more about ‘life.’”
     She added, “I think traveling around Europe gives me a lot of time to ponder. Why do not you try imagining your future while traveling? It might give you an insight.”


     Traveling around Germany, I could not see many Koreans among Asians. Though short chats with three ladies gave me a lesson which I could not have learned from other travels: to try and challenge. Wish we continue questioning for our future.

      How does it feel like to work in a cubicle or an office? How is office-work different from schoolwork? How does a company manage its employees and future plans? All these questions are hardly possible to answer before one actually get to be employed by a certain company. However, it is not yet impossible.  Fortunately, Internship program allows one to explore a company or a job before the actual employment.

What is Internship?
   
    Wikipedia, web-based encyclopedia, defines internship “a system of on-the-job training for white-collar jobs, similar to an apprenticeship.” Interns are mostly college or university students, but occasionally high school students are being accepted to participate in internship programs. Student internships provide opportunities for students to gain experience in their field, determine if they have an interest in a particular career. 

    For a long period of time, internship was considered exclusively for those who are enrolled or graduated university of higher academic institution. However, as the competition to enter university undergraduate program gets ever intensified, several organizations and institutions opened their doors for internship program to even high school students. With its international standing, Korea is also providing various internship opportunities for high school students. I suggest you to join in internship held in Korea, which can allow you explore both Internship and Korean culture.

    Even though many high school students are seeking internship opportunities, the reality is that the parents of those students who are willing to participate in internship program are organizing most of internship programs. Furthermore, many companies avoid internship program applicants attending high school due to high school students’ lack of professional knowledge on specific area of study that the internship program requires. However, still, there are several organizations or companies.

                                                                                                                                       
1. Smithsonian Institution
- Smithsonian Institution offers internship opportunities for both college and high school students. Applicants can apply to one of Smithsonian Institutions, while there are internship programs that directly aim for high school students. However, unfortunately, Smithsonian Institution accepts only applicants holding US citizenship.

2. Youth Internship Center
- Youth Internship Center, which mainly aims for the provision of internship opportunities to high school students, provides various internship opportunities.
(http://www.yintern.or.kr/)

    Through internship programs either stated above or not will provide students opportunity to explore what their best interest is. As ones “specification” is being ever emphasized, it is important to learn what one is good at before the one actually rush into such path.

My Experience as Intern

    From May 23 to June 2, I was fortunately able to participate in school-sponsored internship program. With the help of my parents, I was given with an opportunity to explore the world of law firm, located in Korea. Through the internship experience, I wished to grow my ability of critical analysis, time-management and clear expression of my opinion, and also to observe the “legal” world inside.

      As an intern in a law firm, I was responsible for helping an attorney. I assisted an attorney who mainly advised intellectual property law. Since I did not have legal knowledge at all, I could not dive into the world of law directly. Therefore, I was only responsible for tasks that secretaries and office workers do in law firm; I was assigned to work on translation and organization of documents. Through the internship, I learned new skills. I could learn how hard it is to work for a company. Staying in office without proper break time was seriously difficult for me to manage. Furthermore, I could feel the heavy responsibility assigned to each members of the company. I wish those learning helps me when I actually get involved in the real companies.

      Overall, working for a law firm was a valuable experience since it allowed me to observe the system and circulation of law firm, which is hardly possible for a non-member of the law firm to explore. The experience was valuable, because I could develop my critical analysis skills by reading lots of legal materials, time-managing skill by completing works on time and observation of the Korean legal system by attending courts and prosecutors’ office. Unfortunately, this internship is my last internship in high school, so I believe this internship provided me with a valuable opportunity to explore what it is like to be a member of a company. Furthermore, I could see what I lack, which is clear and effective way of expressing my opinions. I believe this internship opportunity significantly helped me to broaden my perspective on my future choices of both majors and careers.

Tips for Future Interns

    Through internship program provided by law firm located in Korea, I was able to work as an intern for two weeks. Despite the brevity of time, I was able to learn what internship is like. And, here are few tips that may help you in the future.

1. Don’t Try to Challenge on Your First Day Lunch Time
- First day is time for you to adjust yourself and learn what the company is like. After a long time of work, you may wish to explore around the company and look for nice restaurants; however, I suggest you to have your lunch somewhere near the company, because there are many variables and it is unwise to be late on the first day.

2. Repeat the Name!
- Especially if you work in a non-Asian company, where people are usually refereed by their last or first name but not their title, it is crucial to remember people’s name. I suggest you to repeat their names when they introduce themselves. For example, if one introduces oneself “My name is John,” I recommend you to answer in form like “Nice to meet you John.” Repeating the name will help you to better remember.

3. Be on Time
- This cliché cannot be more emphasized. Be on Time. It can give good impressions to your employer, which means higher chance for you to get better recommendation from the employer.

4. Bring a Book or Homework
- Even though you will be given with assignments, most of the time, you will have free times. However, it is unwise to use the free time playing games or going outside. I highly recommend you to read a book or do homework when free time is given.

5. Don’t Bring Laptop or USB Unless Told to Do So
- Certain companies prohibit its employees to bring their own laptops to the company due to high-risk of credential information being leaked. Therefore, do not bring your laptop before you got permission from your supervisor.

6. Wear Appropriate Attire
- It is important to wear appropriate attire. However, appropriate attire does not mean fancy and overly formal suits. If you are working as a journalist, you will not be required to wear formal suits; however, if you are working in a law firm or governmental institution, you will be required to wear formal suits. I highly recommend you to overdress on the first day just in case.

7. Be Careful Using Company Laptop
- Company laptop is for work but not for chatting or web surfing. Furthermore, companies are sensitive about unauthorized downloads from webs, which can also download virus that can influence the entire company intranet. Therefore, I recommend you to use your laptop only to finish your assignments or simple mail checking or searching.

      Bearing these seven tips in your mind, you will be able to overcome all the obstacles you will face during the internship period.  And, internship will invite you to the world that you have never explored before.
