Summer vacation My summer vacation start on tomorrow! I'm planning on going to Vancouver and New York. I cannot wait for the trip. Do you have any recommend place to visit in those cities? Especially, I'd really appreciated of you let me know the good restaurant! :-)

Los Angeles Airport Have you ever transferred in Los Angeles International Airport? I'll take a flight from Vancouver to L.A. via Alaska Airlines with two pieces of baggage. It will be arrived at 8:55 AM, and I'll transfer to the next flight from L.A. to New York via American Airlines at 11:00 AM. Since the next flight is different Airlines with the first one and even it doesn't include free baggage, I'm worried if it takes a long time. I have to check if I have to get a immigration and take my baggages at LAX or JFK airport in the airport by myself. The travel agency, who made a reservation for those flights, said that it would nat have problem. But if I'm embarrassed at the airport, I won't be able to speak English fluently, and it will result in a longer transit time. The only thing what I do now, just check the each airline desk in L.A. Airport. I hope that I can transfer without any difficulties.

email to confirm reservation Hi. This is Ahyoung Kim from South Korea. I am planning on going to New York this August. I reserved your hotel room on Priceline web site in April. The room reservation confirmation number is ####### though, I cannot check my reservation on your web site. I guess that it is because reservation was made on Priceline. So I would like to check my reservation. Please see the attached file for further information and let me know if the reservation is confirmed. Additionally, I want my hotel room to be a non-smoking room. Could you please let me know if it is possible? I’m looking forward to your answer and visiting your hotel. Best regards, Ahyoung Kim.

Yesterday's Diary Yesterday, I was participated in the meeting to make 'IT Disaster Recovery Plan' in my company. Since we assumed that the disaster completely destroyed my country Korea, the plan should be written in English. But the vocabularies in the plan are usually technical, it was very difficult to make it into English. Whenever I'm thinking of business English, I feel like that I have a headache. :'( It's much more difficult than daily English especially because my job is kind of IT. If there is any good English web site for learning business English, please recommend me! :)

Driver's license in Korea I don't have a driver license yet so I'm taking a class to get a driver license. I have to take three exams to get a driver license here in Korea. First, it is the written test about the fundemental knowledge about driving and cars. This test is pretty easy because it is type of dump test. And of course, I passed it. Second, it is basic functions test to drive a car. Once the test is started, the examinee has to start a car within 10 seconds. And then the test checks if the examinee can change the transmission and turn on the blinkers, wipers, headlight and high beam. Afterwards, the examinee has to drive the car over 50 meters within 5 minutes. This basic functions test was more difficult than now but it was changed to be much easier a few years ago. Finally, it is a road test and I'm going to take this test this Saturday. There are 4 courses including lane change, moderate speed, and turning left at an intersection with no left-turn signal. As I took the manual transmission driving test (not automatic transmission), it is difficult to change the transmission with stepping on the clutch. But it is also super fun to learn how to drive. I'm looking forward to getting a driver's license and driving my own car :)

Today's diary I live in Changwon which is near Busan because of my working from 3 years ago. But I'm staying in Busan which is my hometown to see my parents during this weekend. As it has been long time to visit Busan, I was looking for super nice cafes in Busan. Actually Changwon is the smaller city than Busan, there aren't many nice cafe or restaurant yet. First, I went to the cafe as known as the famous macaron. I saw the cafe's many pictures at Instagram so I really wanted to go to there. Although the location was pretty far from my house anyway I got there and bought macaron. And then, I went to another cafe as know as the famous "Cherry Bonbon" near beach. Cherry bonbon is filled with only fresh cherries and delicious whip cream. And I enjoyed the macaron which I bought with the Cherry Bonbon seeing nice beach. I was soooooo happy because I ate so many sweet things :) !!
