Hi, I am Karim Muhammad from Palestine. I am 16 years old. I was participating in the 25th World Scout Jamboree in South Korea. It was my first time visiting South Korea. I enjoyed a lot on this trip. It was almost the most beautiful days I have lived in my life. The first thing when we arrived at the airport we found... The countries participating in the Jamboree, we took a lot of pictures and gained new friends, then we went to the camp site and set up tents. At the beginning of the second day, we visited our neighboring countries and exchanged with them scout scarves, medals, pins and badges.
We went to many activities and really enjoyed our time a lot, and one of the games that we played and enjoyed the most were water games.
In the activities we visited, we got to know other participants from other countries, made new friends, exchanged cultures, took many pictures, challenged one another and truly enjoyed it.
We visited many places in South Korea as part of the Jamboree activities, and we learned about Korean culture and tried Korean clothes and the crafts that the ancient Koreans used to do, and we enjoyed our time very much.
We were living the first days of the camp, waiting for the most important day, which was the National Day. We invited our neighboring countries and visited many countries, including Arab and foreign ones. We exchanged scout scarves and told them about our culture and some of our crafts, and we had a lot of fun.
We were beginning to live with the camp days and facing difficulties, the most difficult of which were the temperature and the spread of insects, until news came to us that there was a hurricane close to hitting the place. On
the second day we evacuated, we were very sad about this news and we thought that the camp’s activities had ended, but after the evacuation it was... The best
After the evacuation, we went to university housing and it was the most beautiful 5 days in the Jamboree. We visited many places in the Korean city of Incheon and bought Korean souvenirs and we enjoyed a lot during these days.
The last thing we did in the Jamboree was the closing ceremony. It was a K-Pop concert. We really enjoyed it and saw our favorite singers. We took a lot of pictures and danced. It was the most beautiful day in the camp. We saw all the participating countries. We exchanged medals, pins, badges, and scout scarves, and it was really... The most enjoyable day we spent in South Korea
Hi Karim! It sounds like you had an amazing time.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to learn more about Palestine. What are some traditional foods or dishes from Palestine that you think everyone should try?
Hi Kenya! Some of the best Palestinian dishes that you should try are maqluba, musakhan, mujaddara and maftool. They are really delicious
DeleteThank you! I'll be sure to try them if I ever get the chance.
DeleteWith all the cultural exchange, did you get a chance to share any traditional Palestinian dishes with scouts from other countries? If so, which dishes did you share?
If anyone has any questions, please ask
ReplyDeleteIt looks really fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the most fun thing in Incheon?
There are many beautiful things in Incheon, and some of the most beautiful are the popular shops. They are really beautiful and the sellers are nice
Deletewhat was one thing you didn't like during your visit?
ReplyDeletehow do Palestine people in your age think about India?
First: There is something I did not like, which is the food, because there is food that is not halal and I cannot taste it
DeletePalestinians my age love India and see it as a big country full of people and different religions. I have not tried Indian food , but I am sure it is delicious.
DeleteHi, Kenya Yes, I have shared some traditional dishes with many countries, including Mujaddara. It consists of rice, brown lentils, and onions, and you can add hot peppers.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing about Mujaddara, it sounds delicious! (By the way, my name is Joy; Kenya is where I'm from. You can visit my blog here 😄.) I would love to hear more about your experiences sharing these dishes. Did you get any interesting reactions from the scouts who tried them for the first time?
DeleteHello Joy, I am sorry that I made a mistake in your name😅, and the answer to your question is that everyone who ate the dishes I mentioned for the first time loved them and asked for more, and I saw enthusiasm and astonishment on the faces of those who tried Palestinian dishes because they were so delicious and to try a new dish, especially Because it's a Palestinian dishs.
ReplyDeleteNo problem about the name mix-up 😊. I'm glad everyone enjoyed the Palestinian dishes! It must have been a fantastic experience to share your culture through food.
DeleteI would like to get to know you more, if there is nothing preventing you
