Korean Cooking Class (Kimchi)
November is the month for “kimjang” across the peninsula. This prep season for the seasoned baechu kimchi is animated with stalls stocked with Chinese cabbages in mesh, piles of radishes and other kimjang condiments. Kimchi is an integral part in the Korean food culture for thousands of years and the act of making it has been listed as UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The kimjang culture is rich with stories on filial piety, health benefits, and the philosophy of the yin and yang. Regardless of your length of stay in Korea, one must take-away is learning on how to make Korean Kimchi. The Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa) that is sown in early August and becomes tall and ‘full’ right around this time and many Korean families busy themselves to prepare the ingredients for kimjang paste.

Korean Literature "Seorae" Book Club 📚
The Seorae Book Club is an off-line self-moderated English speaking book club covering segments of contemporary Korean literature. How to join? Simply read the book of the month, and come to share and discuss about Korean society, its culture, its people and its history. Everyone is invited to be the moderator for one evening.
The book of this month is Princess Bari, a modernized myth of an old Korean myth, which tells of an abandoned princess travelling to the ends of the earth to find the elixir of life that will bring peace to the souls of the dead, with the ethereal and haunting backdrop of the modern world.
Princess Bari tells the story of a young girl, frail and brave, who escapes from famine and death in North Korea in the 1990s. Seeking refuge in China before crossing oceans in the hold of a cargo ship, she disembarks in London, with its bewildering mix of cultures, religions, and languages.
In this foreign city, Bari finds work as a masseuse―but she doesn’t just heal the body, she also comforts souls, having learnt from her beloved grandmother to read the pain and nightmares of others. Alone and in a strange land, Bari will have to fight, through pain and deepening sadness, to find love and the will to stay alive.

| The Seorae Global Village Center is part of a network of information and welcome centers for foreigners located in neighborhoods across Seoul where many foreign residents tend to reside. The opening of these centers was an initiative of the city of Seoul in 2008 with the mission to provide practical information about living in Korea so that foreign residents find the day-to-day management easy. Our primary role is to answer questions that pertain to daily life and to help manage situations where the language barrier becomes an issue. You will find at the center Korean language programs as well as other cultural and artistic lessons to learn and appreciate the multiple facts of the Korean culture. We hope that this will help you create new encounters and discoveries. Please visit our website for more information about what's happening this month. |
