The Talking Mountain

Let me thank you and your family immensely for being my excellent host-parent and for accepting a completely different human-being to be part of your beautiful family. Nonetheless, thank you also for honoring BHUTAN. Although, the duration was very short yet it was memorable in so many ways. I have really enjoyed your company and delicious meal.   Initially, I was not only worried and nervous but also my voice was shaking and few words were stammering. However, it was very happy to interact and share so many dreams with your two lovely kids –  Seo-Yoon Choi  and  Seo-Gang Choi  together. You have a very humble, friendly and a great husband. I find all of them very lovely and a genuine human-being. I thank you for creating a very lively and comfortable environment from the start to the end of my stay at your luxurious apartment. It was amazing to see a strong and lovely family bond and God bless your family with the same spirit of happiness ...

If there is one thing to talk about Korea, I can talk or share my admirable experience of toilet facilities and the system of Korea for days. Perhaps, it was just breathtaking. It was classic. It was world class, and it was excellent everywhere. Let's solve this puzzle and our biggest challenges. The question of –Who is responsible for the toilets in Korea? How did they manage all this stuff? Amusingly I found toilets in Korea are the same everywhere –public toilet, hotel, private, highway, subway, airplane, etc. No water problem. No management problem. No paying system. Zero smell. No stain, it was perfect everywhere, and anytime. However, you may think Korean do not use toilets or do not poop, pee, etc. The answer is absolutely no. They are like anyone of us. But, they have better civic sense, well educated, good mindset, good habits, and above all they have this so called sense of belonging. Every toilet facilities given to them in the open, street, subway, train etc…are the...

Street of Korea is an extremely beautiful place to explore. They not only produce beautiful faces but also smart minds. One can obviously see the quality of work done and the punctuality of people for their work and subways. Public toilets are so good everywhere. Advancement in technology and automobiles are extremely  amazing  and  fascinating  to watch in and around the cities.  However, more important is knowing their culture and way of life. More importantly, when you are in a big city like Seoul, one needs to be  careful  and  cautious  about your presentation. It matters a lot to cross the traffic to how you look at someone. However, I have some  embarrassing  and  baffling  experience of Chopsticks odds in some Luxurious Korean Restaurant to take home and learn again. Although, I have started using chopsticks quite early in my childhood days. However, I left the idea before I became confident due to a number ...

Initially, I was a bit confused when I got an offer to visit  South Korea  for the 2019 KOICA/UNESCO Joint Fellowship Programme (3 th  June to 29 th  July). I had no idea of the outside world, because the farthest I have traveled was some parts of  Darjeeling  and  Jaigon City . However, before I headed to Metro City of Seoul, I got some months to prepare myself officially and do some follow-ups with the KOICA and APCEIU office. Whatever, I sincerely Thank Mr. Penjore for picking up my good luck for 2019.  Honestly, I had no idea about the country except for a few school students dancing some K-POP songs in some school co-curricular activities. Every time, they have fascinated me for beautiful dresses and some unique steps on the stage. However, at the same time, I always have some big  puzzles  on how our students could very easily understand and swallow the Korean Song's Lyrics and steps without attending any Korean classes.
