One of the most familiar Korean culture symbols- Hanbok

Hanbok is a traditional Korean clothing that Koreans wear on the special occasions or formal events, such as weddings or funerals. This 1,600 years old attire consists of an upper short jacket worn with baggy trousers (for men) or a floor-length skirt with wide waistband tied above the chest (for women). Traditionally, women worn 6-7 layers of undergarments to make the skirt look more voluminous but nowadays they normally wear only 1 layer, for example pants. Sometimes, outer garments like jacket or a vest also can be worn.The main fabric of which hanbok is made is silk. That's why the good quality ones are really expensive. 
However, these days Koreans don't really wear this kind of attire on the daily basis, but don't worry you can always see some of them in the Korean, historical dramas. And if you are ever planning on visiting Soul you can always go and check the photo studios which provide both Hanbok rental and photo taking services.

Korean Webcomics and Webtoons

Obraz
The history of webtoons have began in 1990's and started growing bigger in 2003, when portal sites like Naver or Daum began they webtoon portal services. Over the years these internet comics have developed into stories of various genres. It's also possible for readers to leave the comments under the webcomic to communicate with the artist. The popularity of webtoons is growing year on year. In May 2014, Naver published 128 weekly webcomics while Daum around 85.  The growth of webtoons has led to the trend of adapting the most popular ones such as "Secretly Greatly" or "Misaeng".

What does it mean to be a real man in today's world?

I think in our times it's a bit confusing for even a man to define what does it mean to be a "real man". And for me being a woman it's even harder to describe it and I can only guess. However, in my opinion, being a real man is, in fact, being your true self. Accepting your weaknesses and knowing your strengths. Of course, there are some popular believes that men should be self-confident, strong, successful, shouldn't be afraid to stand up for what they believe, yet I think that those characteristics don't only apply only for men, but also for women.  To sum it up, I believe that the key to being a real man/ real human is just to be yourself and be kind to others.

Reflection 2

The recent reflection that came to my mind was actually during geography class when we were looking at the map of the Kielce at its surroundings and the girls at my group weren't sure whether the cave was in Kielce or in some village next to it. And then I just remembered that I was actually in that cave so I could resolve their doubts. The thought that came to my mind, later on, was that travel truly broadens your mind. It's just so much easier to make connections and figure out things when you were somewhere and just remembered how it was.
