Out My Window- Life in Cambodia and Life in Korea
Out My Window- Life in Cambodia and Life in Korea
The towers in the world, they can look exactly the same;tall buildings made of concrete. The world in the towers, however, can be all different. In those same-looking highrises, each individual has a different life, culture and environment. I had the opportunity to get to know about Tola and his aunt, construction workers in Phnom Penh, from the Highrise website.This website contains 360° documentaries of people living in high-rises all around the world.While exploring this site, I was able to find out that the outside of Tola's window shown in this website was very different from outside my window,and there are 3 main aspects I'd like to compare between the life in Cambodia and the life in Korea : culture,history, and economy.
Tola and his aunt are construction workers in Cambodia, as I mentioned. They live and work at the construction site, where there is running water and electricity. They live there until the building is complete, and then they have to move before the owners come. On completion, the units usually get rented to foreigners from Western countries and Koreans.Yet,they're quite satisfied that they have at least somewhere to sleep. This is very different from my life in Korea. I'm still a student and cannot work, or at least, I have to study rather than work. For Tola, however, it is different. Phnom Penh attracts many workers rural areas, like Tola. Some of those migrants seek for better job opportunities, and some flee to avoid poverty. To earn money, Tola had to give up studying. Many migrant workers who work in Phnom Penh have only had primary education, like Tola. Although he had to stop studying to do construction work, he puts a lot of effort in his life.
I managed to find a similarity between
Cambodian and Korean cultures, which
is rice. Most Koreans live on rice, and rice has been the main food we eat since centuries ago. This is not just for Korea, but people in the eastern and southern parts of Asia live on rice,too. This includes Cambodia. Actually, rice plays an important role in Cambodia's agrarian society, being the predominant food crop. From what I have found out,there are more than a hundred words for the word,"rice," and it is estimated that 3,000 varieties are cultivated throughout the country. Although that fact that both Korea and Cambodia have rice as their main food source, I noticed that Cambodia had a more reliance on it.
Another thing I noticed was history, and economy. In 1990's, there was a communist party in Cambodia called, Khmer Rouge. Their goal was to make Cambodia an agrarian society. They forced everyone out of Phnom Penh in order to reach their goal, and while doing that, more than 1 million deaths occurred. So I think this is why Cambodian economy in mainly agrarian. However, because there are some serious problems like poverty, many farmers are moving in to cities,seeking for jobs. I thought that this situation is kind of similar to what Korea was like few decades ago. Korea was an agrarian society back in the past. But because the country became more technological, many people from the countryside moved into cities. Although what is happening is similar, the reasons are, of course, different. Cambodians were forced to live in agrarian culture, while Korea was one from the beginning. Also, Cambodians are looking for jobs to avoid poverty/ natural disasters, but Koreans moved into cities as the society changed.

It was very interesting to observe one's life in other countries, and I really learned a lot from exploring this site.

Writing in the 3rd Person Narratives- LOVESTORY in GLPS
LOVESTORY IN GLPS
um,,, this stroy may not be true, but I'm not sure. It was just shocking for us to see Insun(our class PA) so energetic since Claire came. My class have found out that they get along very well, and it's just astonishing that Insun is smiling all the time and talking all the time since then.
Insun woke up, his ears ringing. It was because of the alarm, but there was something else,too: blood pounding in his ears.
'It's 17th today?'
He got up and quickly got dressed. He skipped breakfast, but he wasn't hungry at all; he just didn't care. He went straight down to Dasanguan(다산관), to see if she was there.
But of course, she wasn't.
'Don't be stupid,' he muttered to himself, ' as if she is going to come to see me.'

'Don't be stupid,' he muttered to himself, ' as if she is going to come to see me.'
He knew he was being stupid, he was just having his hopes high. He sat on the bench and closed his eyes.
' Why am I being so stupid? I didn't expect anything,' said Insun, quietly to himself.

"Hi, Insun!"
Insun looked up. It was Claire.
"Er.. Hi,"he replied.
" Nice to see you! Long time, no see," said Claire, with a little punch in the shoulder.
"Did you have a good journey?" asked Insun, putting his had on Claire's head.
"Well, yeah, but I'm really nervous. I was just wondering if you could help me." replied Claire.
"Sure. What's the problem?"
"It's just that the only person I know the best is you, Insun. ......Wondering if you can just help me cope," said Claire, inserting coins in to coffee machine.
"Sure,,,,,, hey, I want some coffee, too!" said Insun.
" Get one yourself," replied Claire,"See you later, then."
'That wasn't bad, I suppose,' he thought, smiling.

The Sirens
The Sirens from the Odyssey
‘Come closer, famous Odysseus-Achaea’s pride and Glory’
_What are they? ∙ ‘Enchantress of the sea’
_Characteristics ∙ half-bird, half-women
∙ Known for their magical songs
∙ Cruel, Brutal,
∙ Smart but Cunning, Sly
_Main event ∙ Odysseus/Ulysses and his men face them while sailing,
┗ Follows Circe’s (a sorceress) advice (Ulysses-exception)
∙ Try to lure Ulysses with their songs
_Symbols ∙ Sirens- women --not viewed as companions for men, but viewed as evil spirits that can lead a man to his fall
∙ Ulysses & Crew- men --sailing to an unknown area- bravest & courageous spirits that like to challenge themselves and their limits
"Come closer, famous Odysseus - Achaea'spride and glory-moor your ship on our coast so you can hear our song! Never has any sailor passed our shores in his black craft until he has heard the honeyed voices pouring from our lips, and once he hears to his heart's content sails on, a wiser man. We know all the pains that Achaeans and Trojans once endured on the spreading plain of Troy when the gods willed it so - all that comes to pass on the fertile earth, we know it all!"
- I think that was a very clever way of luring Ulysses and the Greeks- praised those who want to be the only heroes of Achaea as Achaea's pride and glory.THE SIRENS COME OUT IN ONLY 4 PAGES, IT WAS KIND OF HARD TO GIVE AN ANALYSIS OF THEIR CHARACTERISTICS.
BUT THEN, IT WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO THINK MORE DEEPLY ABOUT THOSE CHARACTERS.
I'M IN THE 1ST POSITION LOL
GUESS I WAS LUCKY THIS TIME, THOUGH I'M GOING TO TRY HARD TO KEEP THAT PLACE.
