Strange Food

When I was reading this topic, one food what I ate in China splashed out. Actually, I don’t have any fear of strange food so that I can try to eat anything except very strange things. However I have an experience about eating horrible and strange food. It was 2002 when was the year holding the World Cup in Korea and Japan. At that time, I visited Beijing, China for trip with my mom by travel agency. There was a strange food even for me. It was a stick with grilled meat. The merchant told me that it was sheep and I ate that deliciously. But after eating all of them, one of our group said that it was a mouse and I didn’t and couldn’t believe cause I didn’t want to. But, when I came back to Korea, I found a journal with photo that was about Chinese food what I ate. It said and show me the truth that it was mouse. I couldn’t believe it but it was true because I could see a same thing what I ate in that picture. Since then, when I meet some strange food, I doubt whether it is a mouse or not. It was the most disgusting memory what I don’t want to remind again.

Sports

I met my boyfriend at squash court a few years ago. Actually I was not good at play. That’s why it is difficult to explain how to play this one. Squash is a sport with racquet and small ball in square court. We can play this with two or four player. Each player take turns to hit a ball onto the all side wall above the red line. Every service have to succeed to strike and player is going to be win if another player fail to receive. A match consists of three or five games and each game has nine points. It is a very good sport for diet because players should run all playing time. Unfortunatelly I can’t play the squash any more because I hurt my wrist ligament, but it is one of sports what I like.

Stranger than Fiction

If I only had a month to live, I would like to start world around trip. Since my university time, I’ve really wanted to go to all around the world. Of course I know that just one month is too short to look for all. However, I want to try my almost biggest hope in my life even if I’ll not finish up. When I saw some journals about this kind of trip from internet cafe or blogger, people who already traveled all or almost around the world informed that traveling route is the most important thing to plan to go. For that reason, I am going to make a plan for three days except the countries where I’ve already visited such as some European countries, Vietnam, Cambodia, Japan, Chine, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong and U.S.A. Actually I’d like to go to Africa but I also don’t want to die in there. That is the most difficult problem in my plan. Anyway, if I only had a month to live, I’d start world around trip after making a plan for three days and saying good-bye to my family and friends for four days. It might leave just 3 weeks but it is going to be enough to think back and to finish my short life.

Writing a letter

When I was thinking about person is received my mail, mommy, daddy, boyfriend and one of my friends flushed out. But I already sent a birthday card to daddy last week, mommy comes to here three weeks later and my boyfriend just went back to Korea from here last week. For that reason I will write a letter to my friend who is the closest one. She is a friend from high school and we are a perfect friends each other still now. Even if we are apart far, she often calls me to say hi, it is once or twice a week. I always really thank her to call me and I also sorry for that because I didn’t call her, she did. Unfortunately, I should a letter in Korean because she dose not like English. She already knows who I am and what kind of person I am. That’s why as she receiving my letter, she might be really surprised than I can expect. After receiving my letter, she might call me and remain a note in my homepage. Also she might send a letter to me secretly. I am so exciting about her reaction. Wow!

What I did last Friday

Last week from Monday was not easy for me due to sickness. For taking care of my physical condition, I really wanted to sleep as much as I want on Friday. From that reason, I was planning on my schedule as following, sleeping until at 11:30 AM and going to beach party at 1:00 PM. But when I waked up, it was already 3:30 PM. Oh, my gosh! I was very disappointed and gotten depressed until in the evening when I got a call to invite me. One of my friends invited me to join to go to a night club in LA downtown. My depressed mind changed to exciting mind so quickly because it was my first time I’ve been there in America. I drove and got there at 10:00 PM, late night for me, with my friends who are three Korea-Americans and a Korean. From then on, we spent fun time with dancing and drinking until 2:00 AM. It was a good experience for me and Korean friend although I was very tired as I came back home because it was little bit different between American club and Korean club not only closing time but also people’s behavior.

Speed dating

It might be the most important to meet our spouse in our life although it is not easy at all as you know. However, I believe this idiom “Every Jack has his Jill”. I think that it is a good way of meeting someone ‘through friends’. Usually, when we make friends, we find friends like as us even if we don’t try to do that on purpose. As you figure out from this, our friends and we usually has same inclination such as behavior, thought and even ideal spouse. Also they know us very well, sometimes more than our parents. According to above reasons, it is a kind of the best way of meeting someone who can be match with us well. In my case, I arranged a match between my friend and my boy friend’s senior almost 8 years ago. At that time, my boyfriend and I thought of their inclinations and we also thought they has similar ones. It is not easy to believe by our selves but they are keeping going on their meeting and trying to get marriage next year. Don’t forget that friends can be the best matchmakers.

Water pollution

Pollution is not unfamiliar from long time ago. We’ve had a experience to make a poster or a copy write of notice about pollutions in a school days at least. One of various kinds of pollution that is serious is the water pollution. Water is an essential resource but it is getting worse and worse. According to being polluted, we have more a chance to be stuck in danger and we have to prevent water pollution. To prevent water pollution, we can reduce amount and frequency to use water at first. As decreasing them, it can be possible not to make dirty. Second, we don’t dump out bad things such as oil, chemicals, detergents, foods waste from not only houses but also companies. It takes very long time to clean them in the water. That’s why these are illegal. At last, we should try not to use often above things what should not be dumped. It is a way of preventing water pollution fundamentally. If we want to keep on a high quality life, we should prevent all of pollutions include water pollution.

Cosmetic surgery

Most of people have an ideal body and try to be like that. To get an ideal body, we can choose a way of diet, working out and cosmetic surgery. Even if all of these are not easy to do, almost people have been doing one way of them at least. In my case, I am a sort of person who has big fear for everything not only a surgery but also a dog except mine. That’s why I’ve not had a cosmetic surgery yet. However I’ve also tried to a diet and various kinds of working out to have a curvy body shape. When I was in Korea, I frequently had a class of yoga, pilates and dancing. Although I am staying in California, I often go out and walk around my home. I think that other people might be same as me and just take a different way. Someone prefers to exercise or someone prefers to take a cosmetic surgery what is an abnormal thing any more in all over the world. However if we prefer to take a cosmetic surgery, we should concern about risks of health by a cosmetic surgery dissimilarly a diet and exercise. That can bring on a serious result in our life. Everyway can be a good way to improve our like if it is done with carefulness.

The language of movement

Unfortunately, I can’t remember any experiences with different body language. However as I reading the column in my book, I was aware of the importance of body gestures again. Some body gestures can make somebody to feel bad in one country but on the other hand that can make somebody to feel good in another country. For instance, Koreans usually nod their head or bend their waist when they are greeting someone. Though some foreign country do not use this way to greet. Some country use the way of hugging, some country use the way of kissing, some country use the way of rubbing their noses and so on. I think that is caused from culture difference. For that reason, it is always open to us to be placed in these kinds of situation, culture difference or different body languages. It is going to be a tip for behavior in foreign country if you know about their culture and thier language of movements.

Using left hand

Using left hand is not easy for me until at last even if my father is usually use left hand. At first time I thought it is not difficult or uncomfortable when I grabbed a pencil, however it had been changed again and again. As I tried to write down, my letters looked not only like elementarys' but also like drawings. Finally, I gave up writing by left hand in less than one minute because I didn't want to make my book awkward. Whenever I tried to do something by my left hand, I couldn't stand to use at all and gave up soon. This experience made me to think why most people are habituated on right hand include me. Of course I've not found the reason yet. Anyway, it was a kind of random experience for me, absolutely!

What I did last Thursday

Early in the morning on June 23rd, I took a plane to San Francisco and my trip was started. I traveled south area of United state from that day to June 30th with nine people from German, Austria, Canada. Last Thursday was the fifth day and we were on the 66 route that is famous for historical road of gold rush. It wasn't crowded any more like in the time of gold rush but it's just a road in countryside. We couldn't find out energetic places in there, only a few souvenir shops and gas stations were in there. However I could feel something that is difficult to say exactly. After looking around the 66 route, we went Grand Canyon for camping. As we arrived at Grand Canyon, I set up my tent in camping ground with my friends. Soon afterward we went the Yavapai point to see sunset. There were already a lot of people on the best viewpoint for the same reason as us. We were enjoying such a beautiful scene as following the sun - from red to orange, purple and blue. It has been almost the most fantastic view in my life. It made me to think about my life, goal and so on. It might not be forgotten for a long time especially my dinner, two slices of cheese pizza, with sunset. Our fifth day was flowing on like that.
