Despite their close economic relationship since 1965, their conflicting historic and political relationships and deep-seated prejudice against each other have continued. The Korean government’s official ban on the direct import of Japanese cultural products existed until 1997, but various kinds of Japanese cultural products, including popular music, found their way into Korea through various legal and illegal routes and influenced contemporary Korean popular culture. Since 1998, under Korea’s Open- Door Policy, legally available Japanese popular cultural products became widely consumed, especially among young Koreans fascinated by Japan’s quintessentially postmodern popular culture, despite lingering resentments towards Japan.

  • Borriana, Ciudad Abierta Al Mar.Borriana Desde Su Fundación, La Ciudad De Borriana Mira Al Mediterráneo Que Acaricia Nuestras Costas En Su Ir Y Venir Interminable
    Borriana, ciudad abierta al mar.Borriana Desde su fundación, la ciudad de Borriana mira al Mediterráneo que acaricia nuestras costas en su ir y venir interminable. Además de ser un destino tranquilo y no masificado, el turista o visitante se encuentra con una gran riqueza cultural y patrimonial, que le permite disfrutar al máximo sus vacaciones. Adentrarse pues en Borriana, es gozar de paseos con encanto en la orilla de la playa, en el puerto, en sus paisajes naturales, así como en su historia y sus tradiciones. Borriana, city open to the sea. Since its foundation, the city of Borriana looks to the Mediterranean that caresses our shores in its endless coming and going. In addition to being a quiet and not crowded destination, tourists or visitors find a great cultural and heritage wealth, which allow them to enjoy the most of their holiday . Going deep into Borriana, is to enjoy charming walks on the shore of the beach, in the port, around its natural landscapes, as well as in its history and traditions. Cultura y patrimonio Según indican las distintas excavaciones arqueológicas, la ciudad de Borriana cuenta con un origen musulmán posiblemente en el siglo IX, pero sin duda, el periodo de mayor esplendor de la ciudad tuvo lugar a partir del siglo XI, cuando ya era el centro administrativo de un territorio que llegaba desde Nules a Castellón. A través de la conservación y recuperación de nuestro patrimonio se observa la huella que han dejado en nuestra ciudad las tres culturas que la han habitado, musulmana, cristiana y judía.

  • Recreation, Sport and the Arts
    367 Chapter 19 Recreation, Sport and the Arts Hong Kong is well known for its hard- working people, but it is not an all-work- no-play city. People spend time in a wide variety of recreational, sport and cultural activities, ranging from ‘tai chi’ to yoga, football to rugby, and international arts festivals to home-grown performances. Hong Kong offers many opportunities for people to unwind. Recreation, sport and the arts provide an opportunity for people in Hong Kong to improve their quality of life. The Government helps to nurture an environment in which creative freedom, a pluralist approach to the development of the arts, sporting excellence and recreation can thrive. Government policies on matters concerning sport, recreation, culture and heritage are coordinated by the Home Affairs Bureau. Organisations that help to draw up these policies include the Hong Kong Sports Commission, the Hong Kong Sports Institute, the former Culture and Heritage Commission, the Hong Kong Arts Development Council and the Antiquities Advisory Board. The Hong Kong Sports Institute Limited was set up as a delivery agent to help develop sports in Hong Kong with special emphasis on training athletes for high- performance sports. In January 2005, the Government established the Sports Commission to advise on all matters related to sports development. The commission oversees the Elite Sports Committee, the Major Sports Events Committee and the Community Sports Committee which give advice on different aspects of sporting activities. The new advisory structure is a milestone for sports development in Hong Kong. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD), an executive arm of the Home Affairs Bureau, provides leisure and cultural services to the community, preserves its cultural heritage, beautifies its physical environment, and fosters synergy among sports, cultural and community organisations.
