Dang Bipa 당비파

 DANG BIPA; KOREAN INSTRUMENT

South Korea, one of the country that everyone would love to visit. Their cultures are influenced  by their fellow countries in East Asia (specifically China and Japan). Korea was divided into sovereign states with a different political institutions and ideologies, however they still share the same cultures and traditions in their country even if there is boundaries between them. There are a lot of modern culture in Korea that everyone would probably love from their foods, tourist spots, the people, and so much more.

In the video below you can see an instrument that is being played by a Korean musician, the Dang Bipa. It is one of the traditional instruments in Korea, influenced or related to Chinese pipa. A four stringed instrument with circular-shaped resonator and a bent neck. 



As I listen and watch to the video, the music produced by the instrument being played is very relaxing and calming. The way they play the instrument is very smooth and nice. It looks very hard to play but I guess when you are willing to learn how to play Dang Bipa it will never be hard as you think.

SACSAYHUAMAN (PERU)

  Sacsayhuaman Wall in Peru       Have you ever wondered what it is like to be in the biggest architectural work by Incas? As shown in the picture, you can see perfectly cut rocks with approximate dimensions. It was said that the stone used in building the Sacsayhuaman wall was carried by thousands of men, imagine how hard and heavy it was for them, right? The walls were once considered as the most important military base of the Inca Empire, and it will remain as a living proof of how powerful and knowledgeable the Incas were back then. Today, it is still in use for events and Inca-inspired ceremonies in Peru.  How does the Sacsayhuaman Wall contribute or affect human relationships?      Given the ancient history and the spectacular view attraction of Sacsayhuaman Wall, it is obviously the most visited tourist spot in Cusco, Peru wherein people come and go. Through its history, one can be a reason why people could form relationships. As I had mentioned, the Sacsayhuaman was once consi

GENDER INEQUALITY

  ANG PAGKAPANTAY-PANTAY    Ang gender inequality ay matagal nang isyu hindi lang sa ating bansa kundi sa buong mundo. Karamihan sa atin ang nakakaalam na ng isyu na ito ngunit binabalewala sapagkat ito'y "hindi" gaano kalalim kumpara sa ibang isyung kinakaharap ng Pilipinas.      Ang gender equality ay estado na kung saan ang pagkakaroon ng access sa mga karapatan o pagkakataon ay hindi naaapektuhan ng kasarian nino man. Ang ekwalidad sa kasarian ay hindi nangangahulugan na ang mga babae at lalaki ay dapat magkaroon ng EKSAKTONG pinagkukunan ng oppurtunidad, ibig nitong ibahagi ay hindi nakabase sa kung ano mang kasarian—mapababae, lalake, transgender—ang pagkakaroon ng responsibilidad at oppurtunidad. Malinaw na para maging totoo ang pagkakaroon ng gender equality para sa lahat, ang responsibilidad na kumilos upang mabawasan ang "inequality" ay dapat na pinapaabot sa matataas na sektor ng gobyerno upang gawan ito ng paraan at suportahan. Ang bawat tao'y na
