I went to the students’ voluntary service for rural communities during the summer vacation when I was in university. I helped farmers to work out in the fields and weed a rice paddy for three days. When my friend and I were working in a rice field, we got some problem with leeches. And the fierce sunshine tortured us. But we were having fun with working in a rural community, which we never had done before. And at night, we could see many stars in the sky, and we were having fun with a campfire. And we could talk to each other a lot, because the cell phone was not working so we had to spend our time with friends. It was a really good experience, because usually we spent our time with computer, MP3 player or sell phone. It made us closer than at any other moment. I recommend it for friendship.

If you want to travel to my country, Korea, I recommend two places to you. One is Seoul and he other is Kyong-ju.
The reason I recommend Seoul is that Seoul is the biggest city in Korea and there are a lot of things to enjoy. Seoul is crowded and complex like a maze, though. First of all, you have to go to In-sa dong. It is a kind of big market place where you can buy Korean traditional goods. And sometimes you can join the events like traditional weddings.
And then you have to go to Ab-gu-joung and Dae-hak-ro. They are the places where you can learn about the amusement culture in Korea. There are many theaters, beautiful cafes and art galleries.
Kyong-ju is totally different from Seoul. When you go to Kyong-ju, first of all, you can feel calm. It was the capital of the Shin-la Dynasty. You can see many relics there. And it has the biggest museum in Korea, The Museum of Korea History. You should go there.

My favorite place where I have been is India, especially Calcutta. I went there during summer vacation in 2007. I was really surprised, because India is totally different from my country, Korea. First of all, India is hotter than Korea. Even though i like summer, the fierce hot weather made me exhausted. And India is full of the smell of spices. When i stepped out of the airport, I could immediately feel the smell of spice. And I was impressed with people and their unique culture. i think people in India have an easy attitude in their life. For example, when I took a taxi downtown, the taxi driver suddenly stopped the taxi. I surprised because the place where the taxi driver stopped was not my destination. And finally I learned the reason the driver stopped in the wanted to talk with his friend. Even though I could arrive at my destination after one hour, it recommend India to other travelers. If they visit India, they can learn the easy way in their lives.

I prefer to travel by boat. When I went to India, I traveled by boat for the first time in my life, and I love to ride in a boat. Especially I like to travel at night because I could see twinkling stars. It was very exotic and beautiful. Another thing that I loved was the breeze. While the boat cruised the river I could feel fresh air and the smell of water. My favorite thing in traveling by boat was that I could see the beautiful scenery of India. Watching the trees, animals and people made me feel comfortable. Also. It was not too fast, so I could experience India enough. If someone asked me to choose one kind of ride, of course I would choose boat.

If woman has a plan to go to India, she should be careful because in India, to expose her legs is a taboo. When I was traveling to India, I had to wear a long skirt or pants, even though it was extremely hot. Also when my friends and I took a bath in the public bath place, we had to wear our skirt. When one of my friends rolled her pants up, some guys came to her, pointed at her and shouted to her. So she had to pull down her pants immediately. I could not understand it because they allow exposing the bust. And they think that legs are more sexual than the bust. It is so different from Korea. In Korea a woman can wear short pants or skirt, but to expose one’s bust is not good. It was a very mysterious and weird experience, and I still cannot understand their thought.
