Journey of a 20-year-old, Lindie Botes
Lindie Botes is a 20-year-old woman from South Africa, who has a pretty Korean name Sinae. When she visited Korea for the first time in the winter of 2010, she became fascinated by its charm. To describe her unforgettable journey, she wrote an essay book that won the second prize at a contest entitled I Love Korea, which was organized by the South Korean embassy in South Africa. The award also earned her a plane ticket to Korea.
In the summer of 2013, after a 17-hour flight, Lindie arrived in Korea to meet with her Korean pen pal and discover the hidden charm of Korea. The two friends have become close over the past two years by exchanging letters and photos on a social networking site. Together they made a bucket list of things to do.
Lindie wanted to get a trendy hairstyle in Korea and take sticker pictures with Hyo-jin. And Hyo-jin, for her part, wanted to show Lindie the Korean countryside. She decided to take Lindie, a city-dweller, to a village in Gokseong County, where her grandmother lives to show her the genuine charm of Korea represented by the scenic Seomjin River and steam train engines, which are hard to come by even in Korea these days. When Lindie visited the village, she was treated to a nutritious meal prepared by Hyo-jin's grandmother and tried her hand at plucking chili peppers, which are an essential ingredient in Korean cuisine.
Their journey, which transcended national boundaries and language barriers, will remind our viewers of the time when they were 20 and full of curiosity.
