In South Korea, rice is very popular. In any meal you should find a bowl of white rice along with other sides. In South Korea rice isn't just a staple. Rice symbolizes How one's life's prosperity is measured.

Location:

South Korea is found in the continent of Asia. Which is south of North Korea. The absolute location of South Korea is 128N and 39E. A positive impact of this location is since it's near the Pacific Ocean they probably have a lot of fish.

A negative impact is probably because, since North Korea doesn't allow people in or out of their country and South Korea is a peninsula (a piece of land mostly surrounded by water). The only way to get to other continents and countries is to take a ferry or go by plane.

Climate:

Since South Korea is in both the Northern and Southern hemisphere South Korea is supposed to get a warmer climate. South Korea is in a temperate climate region. Having a temperate climate means that you get annual temperatures and seasons. People are positively impacted by this climate because the get a good amount of rain and food. Winters and summers are steady. Summer,Spring, winter, and Fall is really nice. People are negatively impacted because sometimes the weather can be unexpected.

Natural Resources

The Natural Resources in South Korea are, anthracite coal, iron ore, graphite, gold, silver, tungsten, lead, zinc, rice, and even more. The most important resource is probably their rice because It's their biggest food source. In almost every meal you should find a bowl of rice. Those resources are used for money, energy, heat, crafting, and more. These natural resources impact the country positively because than you have energy and money, gas and heat too. It impacts the country negatively because most of the it's natural resources are minerals and can pollute the air.

Movement

The main forms of transportation in South Korea is cars, airplanes, trains, and ferries. These forms of transportation impact the people of South Korea positively because the subway is fast so, it's easy to hop into the subway and it'll take you somewhere that would take 15 minutes when walking to like 2 minutes or less for subway. The airplanes will allow you to travel to different countries. Cars are just as good as subways, it would probably take a little longer though. Ferries will help you get across seas/oceans. This negatively impacts people because it still costs money. Sometimes you can miss your ride. Additionally, since North Korea is North of South Korea the only way to get to other countries is to fly an airplane or to ride a ferry.

Conclusion

All in all, Korea is a nice place to be, with a lot of pretty sights, interesting history, and nice people. The people over there are surprisingly really nice to tourists. They always wave and smile at you when you're walking by. Apparently, being fun and friendly is just part of their DNA and because of that, South Korea should be very pleasant. Their food is really good and yummy. In almost every Korean meal you should find a bowl of white rice to eat with your main course. You should also find something that looks like a shot glass, but your not supposed to drink it at once, Koreans usually have soju with their meal. Soju is a type of achol. Along with rice, there are other sides, banchan. You should also find kimchi. Kimchi is a spicy pickled cabbage and is found along with other banchans as well. By the way, if you ever go to Korea or just a Korean Barbecue place, I recommend the egg souffle!
