About Me

 Hello, I am Oscar Useche, the writer of  the blog about South Korea culture, and now you can know more about my life, my hobbies, studies, amoung many other things.

First of all, I am from Bogotá, the capital city of Colombia. I am 21 years old and I am an architecture student at the Universidad del Norte in Barranquilla. My hobbies in sports are playing basketball, soccer and volleyball. In other hand I also like to play chess, draw, and practice piano. However lately I have not spend much time on my hobbies but I have been doing work related to architecture such as housing, urban facilities and plublic space design. Also, I am a curious person, I like to read and learn about interesting and important topics of history, culture, geography, languages and even politics.
