Michigan Capitol Visit

Power, history, and beauty. Walking through the Michigan Capitol felt like stepping into the heart of a living story.

When we visited the Michigan Capitol building, it felt really special. The building was huge and beautiful, with a big white dome that stood out against the blue sky.

Inside, everything looked fancy and historic, like the colorful ceiling, the big wooden doors, and the shiny chandeliers. One room that stood out was the Governor’s Room. It had tall pillars, detailed walls, and a chandelier with deer decorations on it. It made me feel like I was in a movie or an old castle.

Walking through the building, I could tell it was an important place. It wasn’t just about the

design, it felt powerful because of all the big decisions that happen there. Compared to

buildings in my country, which are more simple and modern, this one had a lot more history

and decoration. I liked how everything had meaning. Even if someone doesn’t care about

politics, they would still enjoy seeing how beautiful and unique this place is.

Impressions of the East Lansing Art Fair

The American-style food from an American food truck, which was quite expensive and salty for me. From Dahyeon: I’d like to tell you something about the East Lansing Art Festival. There are so many things I’d like to share with you, but for now, I just want to tell you three of them. First of all, I am going to introduce the core of the festival, the booths. There were a variety of booths featuring jewelry, paintings, photographs, and ceramics. There are about 135 booths, so you're likely to find one that suits your taste. In Korea, the main purpose of the artists at the festival is to sell their artworks. However, unlike in Korea, I felt that the artists at this festival had another meaningful goal — to connect and communicate with others. It was truly beautiful to see the artists talking with tourists about their work. If you want to experience meaningful conversations with artists, just come and enjoy t...

Michigan State Capitol

Do you know that each state in the U.S has its own capitol building , unlike in Korea? In Korea, there is only one National Assembly building in the capital, Seoul. However, In the United States, each state has its own state capitol. This is quite an interesting fact to Koreans. So, I would like to explain you about the capitol of Michigan State in two parts : architectural features and political function and role. The first thing you can see is the exterior of the building. The Michigan State Capitol features a neoclassical exterior with a large dome and elegant design. It makes you think that it looks like a Medieval European building. Then, if you go inside the building, you can see so many sophisticated rooms. The interior of the Michigan State Capitol is organized by a central rotunda, with richly decorated chambers, historic murals, and elegant staircases radiating outward from the center. Th is kind of interior features ornate 19th-century...
