Hello, I'm Jinuk Oh. You can call me Mr. Jin. 👍
I really love spending my free time drawing and enjoy traveling. My favorite color is indigo blue, and I absolutely love connecting with people from different cultures and learning about their unique perspectives. I’m excited to make new friends from around the world and share experiences together. 😄
안녕, 내이름은 오진욱이라고 해. Mr. Jin이라고 불러줘 👍
나는 여가 시간에 그림을 그리는 것을 정말 좋아하고, 여행을 즐겨. 내가 가장 좋아하는 색은 남색! 다양한 문화권의 사람들과 소통하고 그들만의 독특한 관점을 배우는 것을 정말 좋아해. 전 세계에서 온 새로운 친구들을 사귀고 함께 경험을 나눌 수 있게 되어서 정말 기대가 된다!

: meI'm very interested in Africa! I think it is a continent that will rapidly emerge in the future! And I like the natural scenery because it is so beautiful! I went to Korea Africa Foundation with a good opportunity before, and I drank Ethiopian coffee there and felt so good! That's why I became more interested in Africa!
나는 아프리카에 관심이 많아! 미래에 급부상할 대륙이라고 생각하거든! 그리고 자연경관이 너무나 아름다워서 좋아! 전에 좋은 기회로 한아프리카 재단에 다녀왔는데, 그곳에서 에티오피아 커피를 마시고 너무 좋다고 느꼈어! 그래서 아프리카에 더욱 관심이 생기게 됐어!
The name “Ethiopia” means “land of people with dark faces,” which I found interesting. I was also surprised to learn that Ethiopia appears in Greek and Roman mythology—how amazing is that? One of the coolest things I learned is that the descendants of King Solomon of Israel ruled Ethiopia for around 700 years! I also found out that over 60% of Ethiopians are Christians, which was new to me.
There's a place called Lalibela with rock-hewn churches. These were built by Ethiopians who wanted to go on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, but since Jerusalem was under Islamic control at the time, they decided to create a “second Jerusalem” in their own country. Isn’t that incredible? I also saw pictures of the Gondar castles, where nature and architecture blend so beautifully. It looked like something out of a movie!
The more I learn about Ethiopia, the more interesting it becomes!
Even though Ethiopia is near the equator, most of its land is high up, so the weather is cooler and not too hot. Here in Korea, summer is just around the corner—I really hope it won’t be too hot this year! Ethiopia has wide plateaus and is home to the Nile River. And did you know? It’s also the place where coffee was first grown!
: 한국경제칼럼그래서 에티오피아에 대해 공부해 보았고, 너희들에게도 알려줄게!
: 에티오피아는 아프리카 대륙 동쪽에 위치한 나라야! 바다와 닿아 있지 않으며, 높은 산과 고원이 많아. 에티오피아라고 하면, 커피가 가장 먼저 떠올랐는데, 공부해 보니, 환경도, 문화도 너무 신기했어. 에티오피아는 ‘검은 얼굴을 지닌 사람들의 땅’이라는 어원을 가지고 있어! 그리스로마 신화에도 에티오피아가 등장했다니! 정말 신기해! 또, 에티오피아는 이스라엘의 왕이었던 솔로몬의 후예, 가문이 약 700년 간 통치했다는 사실도 새롭게 알게 되었어! 에티오피아의 종교는 인구의 60%이상이 기독교라는 것도 새롭게 알게 되었지! 랄리벨라라는 암굴교회가 있는데, 이는 에티오피아 사람들이 예루살렘에 성지순례를 가려고 하다가, 이슬람이 예루살렘을 점령하자, 제2의 예루살렘을 만들자는 마음으로 건설되었다고 한 거래! 곤다르 성은 자연과 성이 공존하는 모습이 영화의 한 장면 같아서 멋졌어! 에티오피아는 알면 알수록 더 재미있는 나라인 것 같아!
에티오피아는 적도 가까이에 있지만, 대부분 땅이 높아서 날씨가 너무 덥지 않고 시원한 편이라고 해! 우리나라는 이제 곧 여름인데, 이번 여름은 덜 더웠으면 좋겠어! 에티오피아에는 매우 넓은 고원이 있고, 나일강이 흘러! 그리고 에티오피아는 커피가 처음으로 자란 나라래!
* This picture was taken on the Heart island(located on Thousand Island). There's a really romantic story here, and I love it.
* 이 사진은 하트 섬(천 개의 섬에 위치)에서 찍은 거야! 여기 정말 로맨틱한 이야기가 있는데, 정말 마음에 들어.
+ And I'm so curious about Africa! Especially interested in Ethiopia, Angola, Sudan and Nigeria! I got more interested while studying about Africa in my university class! I think Africa will grow big in the future! But I also want to hear your opinions about internal conflicts and solutions! And I also want to know what's you favorite and what kind of food you like!
+ 그리고 아프리카에 관심이 많아! 에티오피아, 앙골라, 수단, 나이지리아에 특히 관심이 많은데! 대학교 수업 시간에 아프리카에 대해 탐구해 보며, 더 많은 관심을 가지게 되었어! 나는 아프리카가 앞으로 크게 성장할 것이라고 생각해! 하지만, 내부 민족 간의 갈등은 현재 어떠한 상황인지 어떻게 해결해 나가야 하는지 너희들의 이야기를 듣고 싶어! 그리고 너희들이 좋아하는 건 무엇인지, 어떤 음식을 좋아하는지도 궁금해!
내 프로필을 읽어줘서 고마워! ^_^
Hellooooooooo Im Renata from Mexico , I really like you’re blog , I want to know hows the story of the Thousand Island if it’s possible
ReplyDeleteHello!!!
DeleteThe story follows the kindness, love, and sorrow of a young man named Bolt. While working at a modest inn, Bolt once gave up his own room to an elderly couple on a rainy night, even though there were no vacancies. Touched by his sincerity, the couple—who turned out to be the owners of a prestigious hotel—invited him to the Waldorf Astoria in New York, opening the door to a new life of opportunity. Bolt eventually married their daughter and found great success. However, when his beloved wife fell ill with an incurable disease, he began building a castle on Hart Island as a gift for her. During this time, he created a unique sweet-and-sour dressing just for her, which later became known as the Southern Island dressing. Sadly, his wife passed away before the castle could be completed, leaving Bolt heartbroken and unable to finish it.
This story is so romantic, but sad.
Oh no is a really sad end but is romantic at the same time, thank you for telling me the story
DeleteOhhhh and we have the same favorite color !!
ReplyDeleteohhhhhhhhhh It's so cool!
DeleteHi Mr. Jin, what is the most interesting thing about the Korean education system from a foreign viewpoint?
ReplyDeleteMiro New Zealand
From a foreign perspective, Korean education is really meticulous. Everything has standards and methods, so Korean teachers seem to learn more because they have a longer process of becoming teachers than in other countries.
DeleteSchools are divided into elementary, middle and high schools. Lunch is served at the school. Teachers provide the best conditions and opportunities for students to study.
