Imagine Your Korea: nation's new tourism brand slogan

Korea has recently launched a new tourism motto. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST), along with the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO), announced the new tagline, "Imagine Your Korea," on July 22. It will replace, "Sparkling Korea," the former catchphrase used since 2007. The slogan-unveiling ceremony took place on July 22 in the Floating Island convention hall at the Hangang River Park. (photos: Jeon So-hyang, MCST) According to the KTO, the new slogan suggests that tourists in Korea will discover more than they could imagine. The tourism organization stressed that Korea has a lot to offer and to put on display: natural beauty, arts, music, movies, traditional handicrafts, other aspects of culture, industry and more. The final slogan, "Imagine Your Korea," garnered the most responses among the more than 9,000 entries submitted to the KTO during its three-week long online public survey, conducted last October

It is primarily the responsibility of Muslim parents to educate their Muslim children. During the era of scholars such as Imam Malik, Imam As-Shafi', Imam Sufyan-at-Thawri, and others, you hear them talking about their mothers teaching them the memorization of the Quran, fiqh, the hadeeth, etc., at home. That was the norm back then. We need to revive it to move forward. Dr. Bilal

10 unique experiences in Korea

Living abroad is an extended adventure. Below are 10 experiences that struck me as most impressionable. What are yours? 1. Driving etiquette Much can be said about driving habits in Korea. Aggressive and where size matters. But it’s not without redemption. Driving in Korea, you’d notice that drivers frequently use the hazard lights to thank the driver behind for letting them cut into a busy lane, or to warn drivers on a highway that traffic is slow ahead. 2. Taking a taxi home late hours Out drinking late into the night? When female friends are traveling back, either as a group or alone, in a taxi, it’s customary for friends to take a picture of the taxi license plate. Why? It helps to track down the driver if you’ve left something behind in the taxi while in a drunken stupor, or heaven forbid, if somethin

Love padlocks at N Seoul Tower

Chinese tourists pose for photos in front of the 'Trees of Love' padlock formations at N Seoul Tower atop Namsan Mountain in Seoul on July 22. There are seven tree-shaped frames covered with padlocks at the base of the tower. (photo: Jeon Han) N Seoul Tower is one of the iconic symbols of Seoul. This place has now become a popular date spot for couples. Like the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris, couples head to the tower to lock their "padlock of love" onto the railing and to dream that their love will last forever. Despite the cloudy weather signaling the approach of the monsoon season, many sightseers and tourists visit N Seoul Tower and take photos of themselves and the 'padlocks of love' on July 22. (photo: Jeon Han) Tourists at N Seoul Tower take photos with the 'padlocks of love' and the heart-shaped chairs. (photo: Jeon Han) Thanks to TV dramas, entertainment programs featuring movie s
