Koreatown Tutors

About Koreatown

The United States was built by immigrants, people from foreign lands coming to America with the vision of a whole new world, and a whole new beginning. I was common for these immigrants to live in close proximity to others of the same background. While they had traveled here for work, adventure, and promise of a better life, there was a comfort in surrounding yourself with people who shared the same cultural background and traditions, and spoke the same language. That is how Koreatown in California came to be, a little sub district of Los Angeles catering to this Asian culture, built by the ones you first came here.

There is many exciting and interesting things to see in Koreatown, but perhaps one that really that stands out is Dongguk University, a University for aspiring acupuncturists. I’m sure we’ve all heard of acupuncture, a form of Eastern medicine that can cure of just about any ailment you think of; insomnia, headaches, even digestion problems, but perhaps you’ve been a bit skeptical. Well what better place to try it out then Dongguk, while they are still students you can think of them as Koreatown tutors for acupuncture, not as knowledgeable as the teacher but still very proficient in what they do. Plus, the prices are so low you really don’t have anything to lose.

Have you ever wondered when acupuncture came about? Well turns out is actually a very old, and may have existed in the New Stone age, which is anywhere from 4,000 to 10,000 years ago! The first needles were actually made of stone, and were referred to as “bian” needles. As the Chinese improved upon the art, they eventually moved on to needles made of metal during the Bronze Age. Acupuncture became a respected medicine, and moved into a branch all its own. Schools were made specifically for acupuncturists, and was held in a very high respect. Acupuncture lost some its steam in the 20th century as Western medicine began to take over, however it has remained a pivotal part of Chinese culture and treatment, and has a large following in the United States as well.

Perhaps after one of your longer and more challenging sessions with your Koreatown tutor, you could stop on by and give it a try. You don’t really have anything to lose by it, and if it does help relieve a little stress and help you get ready mentally for that next big exam then it was money well spent!
