Recently, I have tried to be accustomed to Korean culture. I didn't know that what was Korean life styles before I had lived in different country for a time. I rediscovered Koreans' strenths and weaknesses.







Honestly, I have something to say about my experience, but I don't want to write it here. Now, I am little bit tired and disappointed because of my experience.

Gold Fish bread

Gold fish bread

Suddenly, I felt like going to shin-chon in Seoul. It was a few years ago that I went there. Shin-chon was still crowded with people and stores. Especially, street vendors which serve Korean winter foods caught my eyes. Actually, I wanted to eat Korean winter foods when I was in America. I was happy to find them, so I took pictures. My behavior might look like strange for sellers. That day, I ate 'Gold fish bread' and 'fish paste'. These foods are hot and sweet, so people can enjoy them in the cold winter.

Dear my classmates!

I will miss you guys!

Keep in touch!

December Snow

When I rember about all that time is one winter. The snow.

Even now, saying "snow," my lips move so that they kiss the air.

-Ann Beattie, Snow-

During my short story class, I read Ann Beattie’s novel, Snow. The snow in this novel symbolizes the memory of a lover. It seems that each culture has a romantic notion of snow. Of course, Korean culture has a romantic concept of snow, too.

The day before yesterday, the first snow of this year was falling down in Korea. The first snow has a special meaning for a Korean couple. They usually say each other, “Let’s meet when we have the first snow.” When the first snow is falling, you can see many Koreans calling to their boyfriend or girfriend. In this beautiful day when white snow covers the everything on the street, they have more romantic date than other days. White Snow has the magic to make couples more emotional. In the winter, Korean lovers dream of romance.

Yammy!

May, Husan, and I went to LA downtown last saturday. Little Tokyo was the last place we visited. We wanted to have a hot pot for a dinner, but many people were in the line. We gave up eating Shabu Shabu, and went to another japanese restaurant instead.





Finally, I ate Zaru Soba. Zaru Soba is the one of my favorites.
Since I left Korea, I have never eaten Zaru Soba here. Even though I couldn't have a hot pot, I was happy to find a restaurant where they serve Zaru Soba.
