Tree-planting day in Korea.

Today is tree-planting day in Korea. But today is not holiday but 4~5 years ago, tree-planting day was holiday but government didn't admit this fact because Korean has many holidays so that government decides that we should reduce the holidays. So that many holidays destody, but tree-planting day is not remove only that holiday is not.

I heard that april, last friday is tree-planting day in US.

and april 4th is tree planting day in Japan, but I'm sure that Jaoanese can plant the tree because they are not peace in a word Japan is very hard so that they can;'t do that.

But nowaday, this is become and issue carbon dioside pollution. Because we use many products for example we use refrigeator, hair spray also car exhaust gas or factory smoke and sweepinhs destruction by fire is also become an issue.

So that we shold plant for trees! Let's plant trees in the streets!

Winter of Korea!

When the snow falls the first thing that children does is fighting snowball and make a snowman.
But before that!! They wear worm attire.


Thsi winter is colder than last years. Also ther had lots of snow this winter.Put more thick clothes on and lastly wear thick jaket, wear gloves, neckpiece and ear plug.
And on the winter is cold so they make worm food. e.g is hot noodles(Korean banquet noodle soup)

So that I like Korean banquet noodle soup because this food very low-priced and popular among old Korean people, nowadays young people like the this food!! This food smillar udong.

<- Korean banquet noodle soup!

And In our country they preserve kimchi at winter season.
And If kimchi were seasoned we eat diliciously.

And this is a picture of our winter and I'm not sure if the Australlia have any snow as it is tropical area but there are many people who enjoy to ride ski and snow board and almost everybody knows how to ride ski. I like ski because ski is excitting!

Saint Valentine's Day in Korea~

In Korea, Valentine’s Day is ‘celebrated’ completely differently; it’s all but a meaningless holiday.
Here, on the fourteenth of February the girls give chocolate to the boys. But not vice versa! Nice. Very nice. Now, unfortunately, I don't have a secret admirer to give me chocolates. On the other hand, my kids came up trumps. Every girl I teach had something for me. It wasn't always much, but sometimes it was. Boxes of chocolates, Belgian chocolates, big chocolates. At the start of the day I thought I could eat each "round" of chocolates in the five minute break after each class. Boy was I ever wrong.

Celebrated on March 14th in Korea. This is not a recognizable day in America, but in Korea White day is an important part of the cutlure. To celebrate White Day, men normally buy women candy and lucky men will take one special lady out to dinner. I heard White Day is also celebrated in Japan from my Japanese friends.

Many people make chocolate on Valnetine day. Also I like make the chocolate and I made the chocolate for my girlfriend in Korea.
I made chocolate with strawberries and bananas.
Makeing the chocolate was very easy and various becasue chocolate had lover's love and sincere.
Let's make the chocolate for lover!!
