Phoebe talks about the past and present in Korea


In my country, Korea, the traffic is much worse than before.

There are many cars in a road and highway. Many people die and get injured because of car accidents. Also in korea the shops and high buildings are much better than before. The highest building has 63 floors.

My city is Chinju. Chinju is located south of Seoul, and near Pusan which is second biggest city in Korea. Chinju is on the ‘South River’. It has a big dam and fortress. Many tourists visit to see them. In October, a festival of light is held. A citizens make a light, a lamp with paper written with their hopes on it. And they float them on the river. The people enjoy a night market and wish their hopes. Chinju is a educational city similar to Dunedin. There are five universities in my city and many students live in the city. So sometimes it is noisy around universities. But It has more clean air and water than Seoul.

You should go to ‘Chinju fortress’ before you die ^^
