Korean traditional games and food were tried today by participants in a Korean camp organized by the family of Bum Suk Lee and the Youth Center in the town of Vratsa. The camp is being held for the sixth time.

"We are glad that there are so many people in Vratsa who love Korean culture, and we also love Bulgarian culture. Respecting and loving each other through our cultures is something very valuable, and that is why I want to continue doing this together," Lee said at the opening. Visitors had the opportunity to wear traditional Korean clothes and learn more about South Korea, tried noodles with beef, called tsap tse, which are eaten on major holidays, and ki bim pap - boiled rice to which vegetables, seaweed and spicy tomato sauce are added.

"We also love Bulgarian cuisine, we like banitsa with cheese, Shopska salad and a Vratsa pastry specialty called "kemerki". And in South Korea, Bulgarian yogurt is very well known. We love Vratsa, the sky here and the mountains are like in our country," shared Hannah, Bum Suk Lee's wife.
