A green grassland, a house, a nomadic life, etc. What can you associate with these key words? It is Mongolia. In thc past, Korea had something to do with Mongolia. Now, we have diplomatic ties with Mongolia. There are some Mongolians in Chungnam National University. I met Myagmar Gansorig in the Foreign Languages Education Center. Gansorig speaks Korean fluently.

 


Myagmar Gansorig
    Myagmar Gansong came to Korea from Mongolia on September through the Korean Government Scholarship Program (KGSP). He came to Korea with his family(wife and two children). His family lives in a dormitory. The first time he came to Korea was in 1998. For two year, he has shuttled between Korea and Mongolia; working as KOICA member. Since 2005, he has traveled due to business. Although he didn't study Korean privately, he speaks Korean fluently. He said he acquired Korean naturally, working as a local guide for Koreans who investigate underground resources or Mongolian insects. He will finish the Korean courses at Foreign Languages Education Center by September. After that, he will major in Environment and Forest Recourses.

 

Mongolia and Korea
 

 
   I asked Myagmar Gansorig what arc the differences between Korea and Mongolia. He said the eating habits are different; because Mongolia is located in high and it is cold. Because they eat meat and wheat, they arc generally fat. Also, they rarely engage in farming. Instead, they mainly grow wheat, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, white radish, green onion, and cabbage. The Mongolians prefer to live in Korea rather than Japan andChina in the past. Now, Mongolians come to Korea to study or make money because they feel that Korea is closer to them in terms of skin complexion and word order linguistic design.

 

Chungnam National University under Myagmar Ganzorig's Eyes
    He has been interested in school life. He said the school has good facilities and especially, the dormitory for the married couples. He loves the playground and grass. He said, in Mongolia, many indoor facilities lack in comparison with those in Korea. Also, he said he loves the large campus that doesn't exist in his hometown. He thinks that teachers in CNU are very kind.

 

A Landlocked Country in East and Asia
    Mongolia is a landlocked country in East and Central Asia. The whole population is around 2.8 million. The size ol Mongolia is about 150㎢. Thc fifty percent of population lives in Ulaanbaatar, the capital and the largest city. Some of Mongolian merits include a wide area of a preserved wilderness and many underground resources. Mongolia has been influenced by Socialism in the past, but from early 1990 Mongolia has undergone its own Democratic Revoluition leading to a multi-party system. Two years later, she adopted a new constitution and transition to a market economy. Myagmar remains optimistic about the future of his country partly because Mongolia has money, natural resources, and livestock.
