As cliche as it sounds, I love traveling. It was difficult for me to find a topic that is extensive enough for me to research and enjoy learning about simultaneously. I decided to combine traveling and Asia because I always wanted to gain more knowledge about the differnet cultures and customs across Asian countries. Asia consists of a grand number of countries such as Korea, Japan, China, Philipines, Thailand, etc. I want to delve deeper into the various cultures and foods that vary in every country. Through this project, I want to pinpoint specific countries that I would either like to travel to or study abroad in. I currently do not have the specific countries that I want to research because I want to learn about various countries first. However I am still pondering if I should focus on this topic or Syria. I'd like to do a topic that isn't so cliche however I would also really like to research various Asian countries for myself. Therefore, I'm still not 100% sure if this is the topic I'd like to focus on.
However, countries such as Japan, Laos, Thailand, and so many others have beautiful beaches and landscapes. The type of foods these countries consume is such a wide variety that there really is no limit. I'd love to look into these beautiful landscapes and historically important places. I'd also like to delve into the specific customs that each country has. In Korea, it's a must to be utterly respectful to your elders while in Cambodia, it's respectful to cover up to your ankles. Every country has different customs and traditions that I'd really like to look into and compare. I'd also like to gain extensive knowledge about my own culture as a Korean American. I want to know more about where I came from as in my history and culture. I'd like to use this opportunity to talk various people from all over the continent. I have peers who are from Japan, Philippines, China, etc. I'd really like to talk to these people so that I can gain a perspective from the mind of a peer.
