There is a saying that one can see as much as one knows. As a French literature and culture major, I am not unfamiliar with and attached to the various aspects of Paris. The Grand Palais and the Eiffel Tower that were erased for the World's Fair, and fencing competitions were held in one place, while the Celine Dion sang the finale song on the opening day at the other. Envalid, with its golden dome known now as where Napoleon is buried, was originally a hospital and resting place for the wounded by King Louis XIV. The words "hotel des invalidates" and "invalide" in English are literally hospitals and residential facilities for wounded soldiers.
And the famous Pont Alexandre III bridge, where athletes gathered to enter the filthy Seine in triathlon. Why is the bridge named after a Russian king in the Seine? This is where the famous Franco-Russian Alliance of 1892 comes from. An alliance signed in 1882 to keep in check the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. To commemorate this, France named the Paris Seine bridge the Russian emperor Alexander III bridge. It is so beautiful, but history knows that these allies ultimately served as the pretext for the First World War fought for control of the Balkans.
What I'm looking forward to is dressage in the beautiful garden of the Versailles Palace. In the past, during the reign of Louis XIV, this is the place where horses used to perform, so I have high expectations even more. When Koreans ask "Versailles" to go there, French people don't understand joke. The r pronunciation in French is closer to the h pronunciation, not the ㄹ. When learning the alphabet for the first time, people learn it as the sound made when gargling. That's why I understand when I say "Bekkhshayu." Americans who are ignorant can't understand if the accent is wrong in English. The most famous word is "platoon." If you say "platoon" with an accent in front of it, you won't understand. The pre-tun~ You should add an accent afterwards. Even if the pronunciation is "flatoon," the locals can understand it if the accent is right. The greatness of Hangul....
My friend is from Samcheonpo, and I hate it when I say this. Anyway, people who watched the opening ceremony in Paris have mixed views, but the culture and history of the world are now in the Anglo-Saxon sphere led by the U.K. and the U.S. We can easily accept Shakespeare's poem or Paul Meccatney's song from the opening ceremony of the London Olympics, but it's too bad that the French culture, which has a splendid history of the declining Old World, has been proven by the Paris Olympics that the country is no longer the ruler of culture. Still, I can't forget Celine Dion's song, "The Praise of Love." That's why K-culture is so important. Korean culture is in a remarkable state and we need to further develop it to become a cultural powerhouse. President Kim Dae Jung's will to "support but not interfere" was based on the premise that... I think a cultural baby would be more suitable for Sunday morning than a stock market baby...
