which country do you want to live???



Do you like Japan? Do you want to live in Japan forever? If you happened to live abroad, in which country do you want to live? How about moving to Korea? There is very near from Japan, and it takes only one and half hour by airplane. Japan and Korea has a lot of same points, but there are also many another points. I will compare the difference of languages, foods, history and lifestyle.



1. Difference of language
Japan is of course spoken by Japanese. In Korea, people speak Korean and using
hangeul. There are a lot of pronunciations, which Japanese don’t have. I think Korean is more difficult to listening and speaking than English. If you can’t understand and speak Korean, it’s no problem to visit there.

2. Food
Both countries’ foods have some same points. We eat dishes with hot pots. In Japan, we eat it only winter. On the other hand, people eat it almost every season, even hot summer!! In Korea, people eat red pepper more than Japanese. The famous one is “Kimchi” Japanese pickles are not hot. If you didn’t like hot food, Korea is not comfortable place to live. Korean also eats sea foods, like octopus, calamari, shell and shrimp. However, it is almost tasted so hot!

3. History and lifestyle
Japanese population is about 120,000,000. Korean’s is 49,000,000. Confucian influences the Korean still yet. It is not good things smoking and drinks alcohol in front of elder than you. Japanese traditional wear is Kimono and it is painted flower, weather, and animals. Kimono is very difficult to wear, but Korean’s traditional one is “chimachogori” is easy to wear. “chimachogori” is very colorful, pink, yellow, red, green and so on. Although, it is only color variation and not painted something like Japanese Kimono.

Which country do you want to live? Both country are pointed in Asia, and have very closely culture. Japan and Korea have good points and not so good points. It is important to understand the differences. I think it is good for us to live another country, and we can more international person.
