5 Reason Why Korea is Comfortable

Me and my friend in High school graduation. Can you find Luc and Sol?

Hello, welcome back to my blog.
As you know, I am one of the International student in UNIST (a Korean university) and today I wanted to share you why living here is comfortable. I've been in Korea since I was high school and didn't regret staying there. Compare to my country, Korea has more advantage on their technology and economical. In addition. Korean also really kind toward foreigner like us. Thus, many people decided to continue living in Korea and didn't come back to their country for working. They even bring their family together and abandon their culture. Anyway, I will bring my experience why many foreigners decided to spend their lifetime over here.

Defectors and Their Destination, Journey to Freedom

North Korea, as a country with dictatorship and communist after the World War II. From a Korea to two Koreas after second world war, North Korea is unfortunate since in five years after their liberation, they need to face their own brother, South Korea in Korean war. Not only that, due to the dictatorship that focus more on military than happiness, North Korea citizen suffer on hunger and poor condition. Due to this, Defector all over North Korea  escaped from country to find a better hope and future for their own life. There are a lot of risk to get freedom from underworld association, government from other country, to North Korean military itself. However, it's for their future and better life of their next generation.

This week, I am going to be a little bit serious (well yeah, it's been long time since IMF blog post) regarding the defectors from North Korea and which route they are taking to escape. Actually, I found this quite interesting movie in 2012 with title defectors while writing. I guess we can watch that together in weekend later. (Got exam tomorrow, wait for me until the exam ended :'( )
