A gireogi appa (Korean: 기러기 아빠; lit. 'goose dad') is a South Korean term that refers to a man who works in Korea while his wife and children stay in an English-speaking country such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia or New Zealand for the sake of their children's education. Many Korean people desire to speak English well. This desire is sometimes referred to as "English fever". English proficiency is very important not only for students but also for office workers because they believe that English skills determine their social position and promotion in the company. However, it is not easy for Koreans to learn and speak English fluently due to the difference in sentence structure between Korean and English. To overcome this, some parents raise their young children in an anglophone country, as mothers stay with the children in the host country, while fathers live alone in Korea. The term is inspired by the fact that geese are a species that migrate, just as gireogi appa fathers travel great distances to see their families. Estimates of the number of gireogi appa in South Korea range as high as 200,000 men. The word gireogi appa was included in the report '2002 New Word' by the National Institute of Korean Language.
Appa (Chinese: 阿柏; pinyin: ābǎi) is a fictional character in the Nickelodeon animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender and in the film The Last Airbender, and is part of the Avatar: The Last Airbender world. In the series, Appa is a flying bison, a species of animals that can fly naturally, and is the animal spirit guide of the protagonist, Aang. Dee Bradley Baker voices Appa, along with all the other animals, in both the TV series and the film.
"Appa's Lost Days" is the sixteenth episode of the second season of the American animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender, and the 36th episode overall. The show follows Aang (Zach Tyler Eisen), the last airbender and the “Avatar”, on his journey to bring balance to a war-torn world by mastering all four elements: air, water, earth, and fire. On his quest, he is joined by companions Katara (Mae Whitman), Sokka (Jack DeSena), and Toph Beifong (Jessie Flower), and hunted down by Fire Nation prince Zuko (Dante Basco) and princess Azula (Grey DeLisle). The episode, written by Elizabeth Welch and directed by Giancarlo Volpe, follows Appa (Dee Bradley Baker) struggling to reunite with Aang after he was kidnapped in the episode "The Library". Along the way, he encounters Kyoshi Warrior Suki (Jennie Kwan) and Guru Pathik (Brian George). Meanwhile, the episode also showcases the first time Appa met Aang through flashbacks. The episode released on Nickelodeon on October 13, 2006, and received positive reviews for its depiction of cruelty to animals.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
