These trips brought us become closer to Korean culture, also gave us good chance to expand our knowledge about technology in Korea. All these trips were great. I would like to give my impression about 3 filed trips that I like the most.
In the first field trip, we visited Currency Museum in Daejoen. I had chance to see the history of the currency and stamps of Korea as well as other countries in Asia and the west. I learned about Korean history and economy through currencies.
The first Exhibition Hall features the history of currency, coins of Goryeo Dynasty, coins of Joseon Dynasty, modern coins, The Bank of Korea Coins, Commemorative Coins, Gold Coins of the World, Chinese Coins from the Shinan Sea. The 2nd Exhibition Hall includes the history of Banknotes, The Great Empire of Korea Period, Under the Japanse Rule Period, After the Liberation, Republic of Korea, Features of the Bank of Korea Notes, Paper Products. 3rd Exhibition Hall comprises of decorations, medals, potage stamps, Christmas seals, money of the world. 4th Exhibition Hall boasts of the Currency of DPRK and other major collection like the 100 kinds of modern currencies from the end of he Korean Empire to present and 80 kinds of commemorative coins.
In the second filed trip we visited Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology (KRIBB). KRIBB is the only government research institute dedicated to biotechnology research across a broad span of expertise, from basic studies for the fundamental understanding of life phenomena to applied studies such as new drug discovery, novel biomaterials, integrated biotechnology, and bio-information. Their mission is carry out research and development activities and related projects in the field of bioscience and biotechnology in join effort with other research institutes, academic bodies and businesses at home and abroad and to disseminate the results of its scientific research and technological development. In 1985 KRIBB was established as a Generic Research Center in Seoul. During 25 years, with effort of all researchers, staffs, now a day KRIBB became an independent legal entity, play important role in Korean science and technology. Through this filed trip, I understood more about the importance of bioscience and biotechnology in these day development. Biotechnology create new economic growth engines by the development of BINT convergence technology, development of disease controlling technologies using stems cells and antibodies, identification of targets and development of candidate materials for the diagnosis and treatment of five major diseases and. Not only that, biotechnology is playing part to address the national agenda. By the development of biomass and bio-energy technology we can protect nature from the mining of people but still supply enough energy and material for industry and our life.
The most interesting field trip is Damyang trip. Damyang is one of the northernmost places where bamboo is found on the Korean peninsula. The bamboo forests are well-known among Koreans. The roads in Damyang are so beautiful. They are lined with many Metasequoia trees, the most beautiful roads in all of Korea
We have experienced Korean traditional bamboo tea and bamboo dye. It’s so special. For all of us, it is the best filed study. We studied about Korean culture and played, had fun together. One more reason make it became so special is the beauty of autumn in Korea. We have good memory with bamboo tea, and dyeing. We were introduced about tea culture in Korea and the rules in tea drinking. Each country has different way to make good tea and the rules during enjoying the tea. It reflects the culture. It’s is one of the traditional beauty.
During 2 semesters, filed study class brought us to many places. Thank for this great class. I would like to say thank you to Deajeon University, to all institutes gave us great greeting and spending time for us. It’s a practical class, give us chance to enjoy and discover Korea, not only about science and technology but also about Korean culture and history.
