Korea Photo Album: 13 Stunning Views That Korea Has To Offer
Claire Lin

This summer, I had the opportunity to travel to Jeonju, South Korea for to study Korean for 7 weeks. Having known only basics of Korean culture before I left the States, I was astounded by the richness of the culture, the beauty of the landscape and the sheer presentation of the Korean people. Through a series of photographs, I managed to capture only a fragment of my experience, one dusted with memories that I will never forget. From Buddist temples to traditional Hanboks, Jeonju exceeded my expectations on numerous levels, all thanks to the NSLI-Y program.

Covered in royal burial mounds, this mountain offers one of the best views of South Korean landscape... although the hike to the top might be a struggle.

Hiking in 95 degree weather may not sound ideal, but standing atop the cliff overlooking Hahoe Village, one of the oldest communities in Korea, I know realize what it really has to offer.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
