well now, I’d like to tell you about some cultures in KOREA, my dream . you gotta like this ! :D
1st the TRADITIONAL CLOTHESTraditional Korean clothing has its roots extending back at least as far as the Three Kingdoms Period (57 B.C. - 668 A.D.), as evidenced by wall paintings in tombs dating from this period. The Korean
hanbok represents one of the most visable aspects of Korean culture.
The top part called a jeogori is blouse-like with long sleeves with the men's version being longer, stretching down to the waist. Women wear skirts (chima) while men wear baggy pants (paji). Commoners wore white, except during festivals and special occassions such as weddings. Clothes for the upper classes were made of bright colors and indicated the wearer's social status. Various accessories such as foot gear, jewelry, and headdresses or hair pins completed the outfit.
this is the exmaple of some hanbok :

2nd cooking ( food )Korean traditional food is one of the most unique cuisine thrughout the Asia region. Basically, Korean traditional food is based on the Korean Royal Court Cuisine (수라상, 水剌床, Surasang) which is traditionally consumed at the royal court from 1392 to 1910 in Korea.
Korean food is known as a healthy food since it emphasizes the balance of nutrition just as mentioned in the order of food pyramid. Like other Asian country, rice is the basic food in Korean meal. Other than that, Korean also consumes noodles, various kind of vegetables, meats and tofu.
here are some of the foods;
Bulgogi
Bulgogi is the meat main dish among the Koreans. It is also one of the most popular grilled beef dish in Korea. It is made from prime cut beef and usually marinated with a mixture of soy sauce, sesame oil, pear juice, balce pepper, garlic, onion, spring onion, wine, salt and sugar up to 2 to 4 hours to enhance the flavor n tenderization.
Other than beef, Korean also call grilled pork as Dweji Bulgogi and grilled chicken as Buldak even the ways and the ingredients are different from each others. However the name of Bulgogi is commonly refered to grilled beef.
Traditionally, bulgogi is usually served with lettuce which is used to wrap the slice of the cooked meat along with some special sauce, rice and other side dishes and eaten as a whole.
Kimchee
Kimchee is the most famous side dish among the Koreans or even foreigners. It is a must-served dish in every Korean meal. Kimchee is widely refered to Korean traditional fermented vegetables. At the very begining, kimchee is prepared for the winter season since they can't cultivate crops during winter. Therefore, they preserved the vegetables for consuming during the winter.
There are actually various types of kimchee in Korea such as cucumber kimchee, green chilies kimchee, chinese cabbage kimchee, radish kimchee and so on but the word Kimchee is commonly refered to chinese cabbage kimchee. During different season, different kind of kimchee will be served. For example during summer, cucumber kimchee and radish kimchee will be served. During spring, leafy vegetable will be the main ingredient for making kimchee and the kimchee in spring sometimes are not even fermented for a long period but seasoned for a short period. During winter, most of the kimchee are available since it is the most suitable time to consume kimchee.
The ingredients for making kimchee usually includes galic, ginger, spring onion, salt, vinegar, chilies, chilies pepper, salted fishes sauce etc. Combination of these ingredients give a special taste for the kimchee and it stands the name of "Aroma of Korea".
Beebimbap
Beebimbap is another popular rice based traditional Korean food. Korean consume this dish in Lunar Calendar New Year as their tradition. Beebimbap literally means "mixed rice" which consists of plain rice topped with minced meat,vegetables, egg, and GoChuJang (고추장,苦椒醬). Normally the GoChuJang will be served separately to control the spiciness of the dish.
There is another type of beebimbap which is called "dolsot beebimbap" (The word "dolsot" means stone pot) that is served in a heated stone bowl. The commonly used vegetables in beebimbap are cucumber, carrot, white radish, mushroom, spinach, soybean sprouts, bellflower root, seaweed etc. For both types of beebimbap, all ingredients are stirred together thoroughly before eating.
Over all beebimbap is a very healthy food because it consists various kind of vegetables and it consists a balance food's elements that our body needs.
3rd TRADITIONAL DANCE
Dance in Korea began with shamanistic early rituals three thousand years ago and now ranges from folk dance to newly created and adapted contemporary dance.
one of them is Buchaechum
Buchaechum is a traditional form of Korean dance, usually performed by groups of female dancers. Many koreans use this dance during many celebrations. They use fans painted with pink peony blossoms and display a show of dance. In the dance being performed, the dancers represent images using the fans eg. flowers, butterflies and waves. They wear hanbok, the Korean traditional dress in bright colours. It appears to have evolved under influence of both shamanic dance and traditional Joseon Dynasty court performance.
