A fascinating country from the East, Korea 


First of all  let me  tell you why I've picked Korea as the first country to write about.
It was 7-8 years ago I started to watch Korean dramas with suggestion of my cousin. I didnt know anything about Korea at that time even I couldn't show the location of Korea in the map ıf you would ask me. But when I started  to watch Kdramas I really liked them and I searched about everything of Korea. And I decided to learn the language of the country. If you ask me 'did you learn?' I can't say 'yes'. But I can talk with basic words. ( ashamed..). And I had some Korean friends. I still keep in touch with them for almost 5 years. That is my story on how I know about Korea. And now let me give you some information about the Country. 


Korea is a country visited by more than 10 million people every year. The officially name is  Republic Of Korea.
