Atmosphere is made up of e 81 that makes an impression on people. The building design, the decorations, the colors of the walls, the service and the food create the atmosphere. The right atmosphere can relax g 82 and bring good feelings and repeat customers. The p 83 atmosphere can make the food, the service and the total dining experience seem satisfying.
People want a dining experience—an e 84 from problems and everyday surroundings. The atmosphere should show a feeling of friendliness and comfort, be attractive and interestingly different. The atmosphere is remembered long though the meal is f 85 . For the restaurant owner, this means repeat customers and, hopefully, a profitable operation.
Not everyone wants the same emotional response from a restaurant’s atmosphere. After working all day long, most people would prefer to eat in a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. However, for those who have worked alone in a quiet environment, a n 86 cafeteria might satisfy their needs. It is, therefore, very important to be thoroughly familiar with the type of people who you will s 87 in your workplace.

South Korea is the first stop of the competition held by Shenjie Cartoon Comic Corporation. The competition opens to cartoonists all over the world to select a unique comic character for the Spring Festival.
“Santa Claus has spread western culture around the world and developed the economy of Christmas, which inspires me to create our own ‘Spring Wawa’ to spread China’s traditional festival culture overseas and stimulate related economy,” said the manager of Shenjie Cartoon Comic Corporation.
Impressed by the rapid development of South Korea’s cartoon industry in recent years, the manager decided to come to Seoul to look for new creative ideas from cartoonists here, and thus add “more modern elements and beauty” into the design of “Spring Wawa”.
“A new story of China’s Spring Festival will be told by the new ‘Spring Wawa’. This competition will also create new opportunities for exchanges and cooperation between China and South Korea’s culture and creative industry.”
This competition will last for almost a year for collecting comic design works among artists from home and abroad. The winner of the Highest Golden Award will get around 48,900 U.S. dollars.
