I found information about three counties from
online. These countries are the south of Korea, Japan, and Singapore. Especially,
I am interesting mostly about three country’s demographics, food, and the
culture.
South
of Korea is called republic of Korea at Asia, established at 1948 is a
sovereign state in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. It closed the
China, North Korea and Japan. The capital city is Seoul which is largest city. Furthermore,
today the population nears 50 million, most of people who living at Seoul city.
South Korea is one of the most ethnically homogenous societies in the world,
with more than 99% of inhabitants having Korean ethnicity. Additionally, Korean cuisine has evolved
through centuries of social and political change. Ingredients and dishes are
most of people likes. People would like to use ingredients on the food, and the
dishes are bowl and chopsticks. They cuisine is largely based on rice, noodles,
tofu, vegetables, fish and meats. One of famous food is pickles which is
traditional meal for family party or important festivals. However, national
cloth is Hanbok are really similar with North Korea, China. Generally only they
wear to be special significance by the festive. Women’s transitional clothes
are jacket and long skirt. Men’s clothes are pants, jacket, vest are showing
the unique style.
Japan
(State of Japan) is an island nation in East Asia .Located in the west Pacific
Ocean. There is an archipelago of 6,852 islands and four largest islands named:
Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shikoku. This is four largest together comprising
about 97% of Japan’s land area. Japan has
the world’s tenth-largest population.
There are over 127 millionpeople live in Japan. The capital of Japan is Tokyo. Tokyo
is in main island Honshu. Japanese Culture has evolved greatly from its
origins. Traditional Japanese arts include crafts such as ceramics, textiles,
lacquerware, swords and dolls. And in modern Japanese culture cartoon is
verywell-known for example: Detective Conan (by Aoyama Gosho), One Piece (by
Oda Eiichiro) and Naruto (by Kishimoto Masashi).AndHayao Miyazaki is a
well-known Japanese manga artist and prominent filmdirector and animator of
many popular anime feature films. Masterpiece is Castle in the Sky and Spirited
Away. Traditional sense of Japanese food are include sushi,sashimi, tempura and
buckwheat noodles. A characteristic of traditionalJapanese food is the sparing
use of meat, oils and fats and dirty products.Useof soy sauce,miso,and umeboshi
makes them high in salt content ,though thereare low-sodium versions of these
available nowadays
Singapore
is one of republic of county which is an island at Asia, it made up of 63
islands, and it is separated from Malaysia to its north and from Indonesia’s
Riau islands to its south. “It established on 9 August 1965 with YuSof bin
lshak as president and Lee Kuan Yew as prime minister”. The capital is
Singapore city most of people living. “The population of Singapore is 5.18
million people”. The resident
population does not take into account the 11 million transient visitors who
visit Singapore annually. Dining, along with shopping, is said to be the country's
national pastime. Singapore is very diverse and young country. It has many
different languages, cultures and religions. One of official law is people
cannot freely throw away rubbish. My friend got a ticket when he visited that
country, which is very clear environment. The diversity of food is touted as a
reason to visit the country, and the variety of food representing different
ethnicities is seen by the government as a symbol of its multiculturalism. The
"national fruit" of Singapore is the durian.
In finally, those three countries
are my most interesting when I
read information about three counties from
online. Particularly their demographics, cuisines, and the
cultures are most focused.
