Visit to Paris Bagguette

Today we went to Paris Bagguette.  Paris Bagguette is a bakery that is located all around korea, it has delicious biscuits, cakes, and drinks.  Suprisingly they also sold popsicals and icecream, it would make sense that Paris Bagguett would start selling these stuff on hot days to attract more people and to earn more profit.  Overall it was a fun trip.

Yon Sei University visit

Today we went to the Yon Sei University and took alot of photos.  Most of the places we went were mostly forest areas, we looked for many things that only korea would have (korean words..etc.), some of the photos we took was flowers, friends, nature based stuff, objects that represented korea.  We also visited to many places in the school such as a huge ampatheater.  We took many jump pictures and also we took a picture of planking.  Overall it was a very fun experience to hang out with friends and to take pictures.

Here is a photo that we took on the trip:

Chicago pizza visit

We went to Chicago pizza today.  The pizza's tasted marvelous.  They were right out of the oven, fresh and tasteful.  My friend and I ordered a medium sized pizza, it was about 10,000 won which is about  9 USD! But it was still worth it.  We ordered a cheese pizza, there were many other kinds of pizzas too like sweet potato pizza, vegetarian pizza...etc.  Although these pizza's sound weird, from other people's opinions they said it was delicious.

My Hobbies

Waffle shop visit

About one week ago our whole class went to a local waffle cafe. We laughed and had a very good time eating waffles. Although the waffles costed 11,000 won (about $10 U.S.) it was still worth it. The waffles tasted holy it was submerged under all the icecream, fruit, whipcream, chocolate and caramel sauce.

Unlike many American waffle shops, this shop in korea puts icecream and many more toppings. I thought that the korean way is much better because even though it is unhealthy it gives a more rich flavor to the whole waffle.

Solutions to problems in life

Some problems that I have encountered in my life is pressure from my parents.  From an asian life parents give alot of pressure to kids because of bording school, grades...etc.(basically living in a cage) it feels very stressful.  Many kids quit activities or actually commit suicide because of this problems. 

Solutions:
1) Enjoy all the free time that you get and to enjoy everything in life.
2) Seek guidance from an advisor or teacher to help you with this problem.
3) Talk to your parents, ask them to help you instead of pressuring you.

Opinions about Monster Inc.

I have recently watched the movie monster inc.  The movie was funny, creative and also awesome.  I mainly loved the movie because of the monsters and also all of the creative stuff that disney put into the movie.  The movie was also great because it gives a huge message to kids that monsters aren't scary and they are actually nice.  I also liked how the creators made the movie so that the main character was as loving as a dad.

The movie was pretty violent to a G audience.  For young kids (1-3yrs old) their are some scenes where it was inappropiate.

Thank you

Me, Myself, and I

Me, Myself, and I

My name is jihoun and I like making friends, cooking and playing the cello and also soccer. I can make only simple dishes such as eggs, cake..etc.  I love eating too, especially pasta, soup, and also many desserts.

Playing the cello is one of the things that I do to relax myself.  All the classical music such as Bach, Haydn..etc are very fun to play.  While producing music from my cello, I feel free and like flying.  It is an experience in my life that I will never forget.
