Korea South Korea is a country with thousands of years of history, tradition and culture that are all an integral part of the Korean way of life. Culture shock is a very real thing and can leave you feeling overwhelmed and lost while simultaneously feeling excited and curious. These kinds of fluctuating emotions are a natural reaction to the extreme change you face when you move to a new country, and it can happen at various times during your life abroad. Korea is referred to as "Rivers and Mountains Embroidered on Silk" ( 금수강산 ,  錦 繡 江 山 ) and "Eastern Nation of Decorum" ( 동방예의지국 ,  東 方 禮 儀 之 國 ). [175] Individuals are regarded as one year old when they are born, as Koreans reckon the pregnancy period as one year of life for infants, and age increments increase on  New Year's Day  rather than on the anniversary of birthdays. Thus, one born immediately before New Year's Day may only be a few days old in western reckoning, but two years old in Korea. Acco...

Bahamas The Bahamas is the site of  Columbus 's first landfall in the  New World  in 1492. At that time, the islands were inhabited by the Lucayans , a branch of the  Arawakan -speaking Taíno people . Although the Spanish never colonized The Bahamas, they shipped the native Lucayans to slavery in Hispaniola. The islands were mostly deserted from 1513 until 1648, when  English  colonists from  Bermuda settled on the island of  Eleuthera . The Bahamas became a  British   crown colony in 1718, when the British clamped down on piracy . After the  American War of Independence , the Crown resettled thousands of  American Loyalists  in the Bahamas; they brought their slaves with them and established plantations on land grants. Africans constituted the majority of the population from this period. The slave trade was abolished by the British in 1807; slavery in the Bahamas was abolished in 1834. Subsequently, the Bahamas beca...

    Africa In  African culture , the “self” is not separate from the world, it is united and intermingled with the natural and social environment. It is through relations with one’s community and surroundings that an individual becomes a person of volition, whose actions and decisions affect the entire group rather than just oneself. There is a Xhosa proverb that is common to all African cultures and languages, “Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu,” (“A person is a person through persons”). The rich and diverse  African culture  varies not only from one country to another, but within each country as well. The culture of each ethnic group centres on family and can be found in each group’s art, music and oral literature. Throughout Africa, the people speak a variety of languages, practice numerous religions and reside in various types of dwellings. The vast majority of people living in Africa are indigenous; however, people from all over the world have mig...

The world's highest mountain range, the Himalaya, rises in the north. The southeast is bordered by the Bay of Bengal, and the southwest is bordered by the Arabian Sea. India's terrain varies widely, from the Thar Desert in the west to jungles in the northeast. A fertile area called the Ganges Plain covers much of northern India. This formation was created from soil that was deposited by rivers running from the Himalaya. In some places, this layer of silt is over 25,000 feet (7,620 meters) deep. PEOPLE & CULTURE Society throughout India is divided into social ranks, called castes. Caste is determined by birth and there is almost no way to change it. High castes include priests, landowners, and soldiers. So-called Untouchables have no caste and do the most menial jobs. India is a very spiritual country. It has no o...
