IMMAA 2016 Conference Local Information: Welcome to Korea University in Seoul
IMMAA 2016 Conference Local Information: Welcome to Korea University in Seoul Table of Content 1. SOUTH KOREA AS THE HOST FOR IMMAA 2. THE HOST INSTITUTIONS 3. BANQUETS & RECEPTIONS 4. LOCAL ATTRACTIONS 5. SOCIAL PROGRAMS 6. ACCOMMODATION SOUTH KOREA AS THE HOST FOR IMMAA The Korean peninsula extends southward from the northeastern part of the Asian continent and is located between China, Japan, and Russia. As a homogeneous ethnic group with its own language, culture, and customs, the country has a long history and proud tradition. Republic of Korea or commonly referred to as “South Korea” occupies the southern half of the Korean peninsula and is a highly developed country with prominent presence on the world stage. Since the rapid economic growth in the 1960s and modernization efforts in the 1980s, the success of the “Miracle on the Han River” has created an interesting juxtaposition. South Korea is a place where tradition and technology are equally endorsed; where skyscrapers overlook ancient palaces; and where the vibrant place of life is offset by the tranquility of nature. The mountainous topography and three different oceans surrounding each border offers unique sceneries and a colorful heritage that differs from other neighboring countries. Remains of historic highlights are seen in various fortresses, temples, and palaces of which some are registered as UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites. South Korea offers visitors an incredibly diverse range of experiences. Besides historical and natural landmarks, Korea’s entertainment and culture is also a new attraction for global visitors. Tourists are able to immerse themselves into the home of Hallyu or the “Korean Wave” by experiencing Korean culture, visiting drama or movie settings, and meeting famous Korean celebrities.
