- I went to Bukchon with my friends. I met my friends on last Sunday. We went to Bukchon. Bukchon is one of the famous places in Seoul and it's the representive tradition residential arera where hanoks are concentrated in. Hanok is a traditional Korean style house. Bukchon is located among Gyeongbokgung palace, Changdukgung palace and Jongmyo shrine. We experienced to dress up Hanbok. Hanbok is a tradtional Korean style clothes. In the past I had a Hanbok, but not now. There is no chance to wear it usually. I wore my hanbok on specialy day like my grandmother's 60th birthday. In Korea, there are some people who wear their hanbok on Chuseok or Seollal. (Chuseok is Korean thanksgiving day and Seollal is Korean lunar new year's day) In my case, I had never worn my hanbok on Chuseok or Seollal. Anyway we wore hanbok twice in different style and took many pictures. After that, we walked looking around Bukchon hanok village. It was the first time to go Bukchon hanok village at sunset and there were not many people. About 4 weeks ago, I visited to Bukchon hanok village by day and there were so many people. So, I felt something different compared to the last time when I visited there about 4 weeks ago. I had great time with my friends that day.October 29, 201531

- Taking care of puppies About 3 weeks ago, I took care of puppies for 4days. One is my puppy and the other is my grandmother's puppy. My puppy's name is "Mongshil" and the name of My grandmother's puppy is "Sarang". Mongshil is a white maltese and Sarang is a Yorkshire Terrior. Mongshil is 6 years old and Sarang is almost 2 years old. Both are female. Mongshil and Sarang are very different in aspect of character. Mongshil is very well-behaved. Sarang doesn't keep still for a minute. She's easily frightened. They didn't make any trouble things like biting the wires or fighting each other. But the war of nerves between the two sides had continued. Mongshil didn't like Sarang which comes into my room. But Mongshil knew that Srarang is my grandmother's dog, so Mongshil just pretended to scare Sarang. For example, when Sarang came into my room, Mongshil just stared at her. And when Sarang came to around of Mongshil, Mongshil just acted like Mongshil attacks Sarang. But Mongshil never bit Sarang. I tried ti treat them fairly. But they acted like children. First day, Sarang seemed on edge. Because it was the first time that she came to my house and stayed unfamiliar place. So I holded her for a while. Then Mongshil turned her back on me, and didn't look at me when I called her. I was really sorry to Mongshil, so I holded Mongshil afterwards. Sarang soon adopted this environment and she began to hang around Mongshil. Whenever Sarang did it, Mongshil growled or scared at her. And whenever Mongshil did it, Sarang ran away. They weren't getting along each other eventually. I was tired of minding them, but I had a good time with them.October 20, 201530
- Itaewon global village festival I went to Itaewon global village festival with mother and younger brother yesterday. We arrived at Itaewon nearly 4: 40p.m. We couldn't see various events, because we arrived late. We walked along the street, which was lined with food booths and various cultural experience booths. There were too many people were in the street, so it was hard to walk. I ate an Morrocan sandwich which is called "Koufta". It was very very delicious!!! I want to eat it if I have a chance later. Many people were waiting in line at this Morrocan food booth. We looked around the street. Above all, we spent our time most at DJ box. DJs were playing good music. Next year, I would like to go there earlier and experience more various things.October 18, 201550

0 votedOctober 8, 20141- Total eclipse of the moon I heard the news that total lunar eclipse occurs tonight. Total eclipse of the moon is the phenomenon that the moon looks like dark beacause of the shadow of the earth. The shadows of the earth are maded by sunlight. There are two kinds of shadows. One is penumbra that blocks off partial sunlight. The other is umbra that blocks off all sunglight. So, umbra is the darkest shadow that receives no solar radiation. When the sun, the earth and the moon are arranged,the phenomenon that the moon enters penumbra is called 'Penumbral lunar eclipse'. And the phenomenon that the moon locates between umbra and penubra is called 'Partial lunar eclipse'. And the phenomenon that the moon enters umbra completely is called 'Total lunar eclipse'. When total lunar eclipse occurs, the moon looks like red. When total eclipse occurs, sun light hidden by the earth can't reach the moon but the refracted light reaches the moon. Red light which has the longest wave of the visible light is refracted well, so it reaches the moon. So the moon looks like red. This total lunar eclipse was observed in 3 years. But I saw the red moon dimly. Becuase clouds were overshadowing the moon. I'm sorry that I couldn't see it clearly.October 8, 201450
