When the World War Two was going to the end, the Japanese-held Korean Peninsula was liberated by Soviet and the American military. And the battle line that between America and Soviet was called “ 38th Parallel ”. In that case, the north of the 38th parallel was occupied by Soviet troops and the American troops dominated the south of the 38th Parallel which led to a limited border war between the South’s newly formed Republic of Korea Army and the North Korean border constabulary as well as the North’s Korean People’s Army.…

In the past 10 years of my life I have lived in two different locations. The first one is Knoxville, Tennessee and the second is Naples, Florida. They are similar in some ways and different in other ways. Both cities have a couple of months where their economy is strongest and months where it isn’t as busy. The enviroment between the two cities are very different, and lastly the type of people that live in the two cities. While there are differences, the two locations have similarities most people might not think of.…
As long as I can remember, I had always wanted to fly on an airplane. As I got older I dreamed of traveling to another country. I had a desire to see new places and learn new things. I wanted to experience a new culture, the food, the language, and another way of life.…
The life experiences that I acquired came from the fortunate fact that I was able to go every summer to either Israel or Finland. I would have to adapt for 3 months of the year to a totally different culture, and as a result I have made life long friends not only in America but in Finland and Israel as well.…
When you have to move to another country, you probably could feel like a stranger. It is a different place with a variety of characteristics that you probably are not used to. Not only for the language or for geographical features, but you also find cultural dissimilarities. If I have to choose three cultural variances from Venezuela and US, I will select housing development/city, sports and behavior.…
There are copious elements that without a doubt have had a profound impact on myself, specifically being born in California. Numerous factors have a paramount influence on who you are, and for myself, the place I was born adequately peaks the list. Indeed, I can claim that being born in California exposes people to a vast number of cultures. Also, there is a certain slower pace of life. Additionally, the scenery, as well as weather, is extremely beautiful. California’s diverse population, laid back lifestyle, scenery and weather have all played a piece in shaping the person I am…
Travelling has always been a passion of mine. Being an army brat, I find seeing new places, meeting new people and getting to know their different “traditions”, exceptionally inspiring. But having to stay and live at the places I thought I was visiting was a difficult task for me.…
My first big adventure came when I moved to Canada. I was born in Great Yarmouth, England and I lived there for the first five years of my life. To this day my English citizenship and heritage is a big part of who I am. Before moving to Canada, I moved to a small town in rural Maine. My family built the home we call “Old Brick” in 1812, and it is has been passed down ever since. I moved to Canada six months later, however we returned to Maine every summer. Living in Maine created a strong contrast to my life in Halifax and exposed me to people from different walks of life.…
Times are certainly changing and the world is ever evolving from day to day. More and more each day the barriers of our great seas are diminishing and world unification is growing greater every second. Not long ago it was hard to imagine traveling across seas to China, but now with our sophisticated transportation systems traveling is easier than ever. Now our airport systems are integrated so that you can travel from the United States to China on the same airline. Communication barriers are also being broken down. It is very common for people to know more than one language. With a language in common, it is easier to travel to another country because more than likely you can find someone there who speaks your native language.…
California Dream When you think of what the California dream is, the amount of dreams is equally colossal to the reasons people attribute a dream to be “Californian”. Many agree a Californian dream to have a few trends: desire for great weather, mobility, access to Hollywood, diversity, free love, and most importantly- housing. Unfortunately, my version of the California dream wasn’t molded by an outside look that’d imagine the gold paved roads of California- but something that has developed beyond my families’ original desires.…
Human beings are very adoptable. We can live in most climates of the world. In the past, people tended to stay in the place they were born, but now we move easily form countryside to city, from one part of a country to another, and even from country to country. Each place has its own customs and ways of life, and countries also have different languages. When I moved from Cambodia to United State of American, I have to several adjustments to my life.…
I have travelled to many different places. Germany, Alabama, Louisiana, and Florida are some of the few. However, the best places I have traveled to is the Wizarding world of Harry Potter, Camp Half Blood, The 21st Gnome, Westeros, the TARDIS, and to Lord Beerus’ planet. I believe fandoms introduce individuality. There are countless fandoms and life situations that tell who a person is. David Tennant and the TARDIS introduced me to the world of fandoms. Middle school introduced me to being myself.…
