A piece of Japan&Korea

Kinds of Roast meat is famous in Korea. This is Pork roast. About 7000Won(about 7USD)
for 1 people's. We eat them with liqual or rice. When you eat meat, you eat with some vegetables.
Korean foods are famous for rich in vegetables. So even if you eat meat, you can eat many vegetables
together.

Sushi...do you know this most popular Japanese food? This set is about 20dollars.
Sushi is raw fish on the top of rice. If you know the taste of raw fish, try it.

Korean Tradition....it can be seen best in Old palaces in Seoul, capital in Korea.
There are some old palaces there. The photo is Tok-su gung, near Seoul city hall.
In Korea they celabrate according to the lunar calender. So Japan and Korea's new
year's day is a little bit differnet.

Hi, everyone. My name is HR. I'm Japanese who studies in Korea now.
I start this blog for the people worldwide to know beautiful countried, Japan and Korea.
In Japan, we go to shrine on new year's day. It is for praying for a year. In ancient times
every nature things can be a god in Japan. So we called '800 millions gods'. Shrine is also
the religious place, but nowadays we go not by religious meaning, but just for praying
or making our mind 'empty'. The shirine on the photo is 'Kashihara Jingu shrine'.
It is said this one enshrines the first emperor in Japan. About 0.8 million people visit
this shirine on only 3 new year days.
Yes, I hope you enjoy this blog even if I'm poor at English.
2006, Have a wonderful year!
