Korea is the country to the east of China. While korea has its own history and culture, its close geographic proximity to(接 近) China and Japan meant that it is heavily influenced by the two major cultures. However, korean culture is still unique.

Unlike the japaneses, the korean language has no influence from the chinese styles. Being a small country, there are only two korean dialects, which permeate the north and south of korea (not the two countries). Amazingly, despite a large population, the koreans only have 5 distinct last names.
Korean cuisine (菜肴)is unique in taste and differs slightly from the chinese styles. Its famous kimchi(泡菜) which consists of fermented and seasoned vegetables is well-known through out the world.
