For this second semester, CBT planned a special program for readers to introduce the areas around Cheongju and throughout the country. I hope that reading this newly-planned feature of Experience will help readers indirectly experience places that they have not been to. Furthermore, CBT hopes that students will go on an actual trip with a backpack instead of just experiencing it here. For this first edition of Experience, we would like to inform the students about the Sangdang Fortress, | |

During a semester of lectures, CBNU students, especially freshmen, have experienced school events such as gatherings and exams. In June, CBNU students are looking forward to vacation. Most of them will go home and plan a trip with their families or friends. However, some exchange students will stay at school. What will they do? Lu-xuefeng, a Chinese student in a doctorate course, said, “I will conduct an experiment for my studies at CBNU. I can’t leave CBNU for a long time because of my studies. Therefore, I will travel around Cheongju.” He even asked for a recommendation of places to travel. | |

Now, we are going to hear about the first month of her life as an exchange student. It’s been one week at CBNU. When I searched the weather about Korea from Thailand, I really worried about the cold weather. Therefore, I came to Korea wearing thick clothes. | |

We celebrate Christmas Day on December 25th every year. We know that Christmas is a holiday and just typically enjoy the festivities, but many people do not know very much about Christmas. “Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh (Hey!)” This song is ‘Jingle Bells’, one of the most famous carols, but did you know that Jingle Bells was a song intended for Thanksgiving Day? | |

Recently, the methods of donation are evolving in an attempt to bring more fun to the process. These donations are called ‘funations’ by Koreans. This word is a compound word of ‘fun’ and ‘donation’. It is a fun and pleasurable way to donate. Funation began after a change of people’s perceptions about donations. | |

In the USA, a racist remark was made by a white police officer. He said, “Remember, we only kill black people. Yeah. We only kill black people, right?” That incident shows that some white people still have blatant discrimination against black people. Moreover, the conflict has become more serious. For a long time, racial discrimination by whites occurred continuously, which created deep conflicts between blacks and whites. It has registered as a major social problem recently. | |

Sustainable tourism refers to tourism that protects the environment and tourism resources, helps the economies of the local communities, and preserves the native cultural heritages.

Recently, Japan’s economy is showing signs of recovery, so Japanese companies are trying to hire permanent employees who can work longer instead of temporary employees. However, Japanese job seekers avoid permanent positions, so Japan is suffering from a serious labor shortage. The American statistics site Trading Economics showed that the number of permanent employees in Japan increased by about 300,000 since last year and reached 21,263,000. | |

The sentiment of aversion and discrimination against Muslims became more and more severe after a series of Brussels terror attacks last March. Moreover, the number of aversion crimes against Muslims also increased. Ahmed, a Belgian boy from Morocco, heard a discriminative comment from his elementary school teacher. The young boy was scarred because his teacher said to him, “If you have a plan to install a bomb, please warn me first.” Islamophobia refers to a feeling of aversion against Islam and the Muslims. | |

Recently, an overbooking occurred in a plane that was on its way to Louisville from Chicago. This accident took place because of the fault of United Airlines. Overbooking means that there are additional passengers on a plane when the plane is already full. The airline’s decision in this situation was to pick four passengers randomly and force them to leave the plane. One of the chosen four was a doctor who refused to get off the plane because there was a patient waiting for him in Louisville | |

Although the market for companion animals has grown a lot, recent animal abuse issues have shown that a mature culture of companion animals has not yet emerged. Last May, there was an animal abuse event where a flock of stingrays was found torn in half in Australia. In response, | |

Myeongdong, which used to be full of Chinese tourists, has been empty, and many tour buses carrying Chinese tourists have disappeared. In addition, duty-free shops that were crowded with Chinese tourists before THAAD have been so silent that it seems strange.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned that Korea could go through Japan’s ‘lost decades’. To avoid prolonged economic woes like Japan’s ‘lost decades’, the IMF urged Korea to expedite the restructuring of nonviable firms and the structural reform of the labor market. Japan’s social phenomena that arose during the lost decades are similar to Korea’s recent social phenomena, and some of those Korean phenomena are appearing even faster than Japan’s | |
