Out My Window-Essay

    Have you ever lived in a highrise? Because there are lots of them now so you may have been. There are many differnet kinds and types of high rise in many countries. And our class got every different high rise for each person to write an essay about. I got to search for Ivanetti's high rise which is located in the city of Sao Paulo in Brazil. In this essay, I will write about some similarities and differences between Sao Paulo and Daejeon which is a city I am living in. Also, I am going to compare South Korea to Brazil in many ways such as their lands and populations, bordering countries, and cultural issues. Then, I will talk about some scenes that I see in my window and Ivanatti's window. Fourth, I wil compare objects in two houses. And finally, I will tell about my impressions after I have experienced this HIGHRISE.

    First, I will tell you the similarities and differences between Sao Paulo and Daejeon. Sao Paulo is the largest city in Brazil, the largest city in the southern hemisphere, and the world's 7th largest metropolitan area. The city is the capital of the state of Sao Paulo, the most populous Brazilian state. The name of the city honors Saint Paul. Sao Paulo exerts strong regional influence in commerce and finance as well as arts and entertainment. Sao Paulo is considered an Alpha - World City. On the other hand, Daejeon is located in the center of South Korea. It is the fifth largest city in South Korea, with a population of 1,442,856 at the end of 2005. It is at the crossroads of Gyeongbu railway, Honam railway, Gyeongbu Expressway, and Honam Expressway. Within the city limits lies Daedeok Science Town, an area with more than 200 research institutions.

 Sao Paulo is a very big and famous city for the world but Daejeon is not. But Daejeon has more trasprtation such as highways, railroads, bus station, and trains. So these were some characteristics of the cities and differences between them.

     Secondly, I will alk about Korea and Brazil. South Korea  is a country in East Asia, located on the southern portion of the Korean Peninsula. It is neighbored by the China to the west, Japan to the east, and North Korea to the north. Its capital is Seoul, which is also its largest city. South Korea lies in a temperate climate region with a  mountainous terrain. Its territory covers a total area of 99,392 square kilometers and has a population of 50 million. Also it is the only remaining divided country with same people and culture. On the other hand, Brazil is the largest country in South America. It is the world's fifth largest country, both by geographical area and by population. It is the only Portuguese-speaking country in the Americas. It is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Brazil has a coastline of over 7,491 kilometers. It is bordered on the north by Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and the French overseas department of French Guiana; on the northwest by Colombia; on the west by Bolivia and Peru; on the southwest by Argentina and Paraguay and on the south by Uruguay. It has borders with all other South American countries apart from Ecuador and Chile. Furthermore, Brazilians are good at soccer and their Samba Festival is very famous around the world.

     Thirdly, I will talk about views from my apartment and compare it to Ivanetti's view. First, I live in 28th floor. So our family can see almost whole view of Daejeon. We can see many apartments and some big buildings. Also we see some small private houses. We see lots of cars and people out there. But Ivanetti's view fromhouse is way different from mine. They had kind of poor people and very low houses. And not all the houses are clean and nice. Some of them were dirty and it looks like they are almost destroyed.

     After using this nice site, I felt that there are still many people having harsh time in their life and people who have better life quality should help them as much as they can including me. This was a great opportunity to know about world once more and I learned a lot about them.
