When we say Korea, so many paradoxical images come to mind. While North Korea predominantly continues to stay isolated from the rest of the world, South Korea has made a significant global impact in the last few decades. But in this episode, keeping aside all the paradoxes, let’s get to know Korea a bit differently through their thousands of years old culture, oral storytelling tradition, and a unique folktale.
Island Story from Brunei
Brunei, a small island country from Asia’s largest island Borneo. This pocket-sized nation is a treasure house of history, culture, and folklore that dates back to an age beyond any recorded existence. On the other hand, this is one of the richest countries in the world, with the economy primarily being supported by global exports of crude oil, liquefied natural gas, and petroleum products. A land of legends, myths, anecdotes, and opulence—that’s magical Brunei. And in this episode, I bring to you a magical story from this land.
