Short Explanation: This meeting was held on a Friday at the University of Brasília (UnB). We discussed Literature topic. This is an interesting topic because it contains the worries and thoughts of each generation in Korea. There's a special mark in Korean case with the creation of Hangul that changed the alphabet used to manifest the Korean ideas. While talking about this topic we become more interested in reading Korean literature. We recommended some books to each other like `The White Book' and 'Human Acts' written by Han Kang and talked about the titles and authors mentioned in the PDF file. Based on the discussion we made some questions.

Short Explanation: We held this meeting on a Saturday at the Park Shopping. We decided to talk about Traditional Market Topic. We got curious about the many traditional products that can be found in these markets since they are so different from what we can find in Brazilian markets. We also got interested in the history of these markets because they exist since the old times and we heard that some of them have been revitalized to overcome challenges that appeared with Korea's transformation on market and lifestyle in the last years. These traditional markets have been tracking the attention of many tourists who look for local specialties and unique experiences. Based on this discussion, we elaborated on some questions ahead.

Short Explanation: We have chosen to discuss Korean restaurants, talking about topics such as cafes, vegetarian food, and food costs. One of our members, Isabela, went to Korea on her last vacation and she shared with us her experiences visiting restaurants, tasting foods, desserts, cafes and how much did it cost. We also discussed how different Korean food tastes compared to Brazilian food. It seems to be spicier, sweeter, and cheaper than ours. Based on this, we have prepared some questions that got us curious. It was a good meeting.

Short Explanation: Upon this meeting, the five of us (Ester, Sarah, Lígia, Raphael, and Isabela) decided what topic we would talk about: Dramas and Movies. We talked about the ones shown in the PDF file as well as some others that weren’t mentioned. We soon started thinking of questions related to the topic and some that aren’t 100% related to it but got us curious. It was a short meeting, since most of our schedules clash, but we were able to discuss the topic we chose and ask questions about it.

Short Explanation: Because of the clashed schedules, the first meeting consisted of only three members (Camila, Raphael, and Lígia). We discussed the Tourism topic since we are all interested in visiting Korea someday. Camila is majoring in Tourism, which was a great complement to our discussion. We find it amazing that there are so many Korean natural sites included on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. After a one-hour meeting, we elaborated on some questions related to the content of the PDF file and some others about the subject.
