The producers have made the mobile work where ever it is. As the network is fast, the mobile has high quality of the screen and 3D structures are formed too.

Best subway in Seoul!

Seoul is the one of the biggest subway country. Seoul has a expert development among the subway. Every internationals would be amazed to the convenient subway routes. The Seoul's subway routes are really easy to memorize and it has simply directions to follow so old people and people who are unfamiliar to the subway would have an easy time to get to their destination. It is not only the convenience of the routes but also the subway urban adventurous. It contains clothing stores like Korean traditional cloth and food places that also sell Korean traditional food. Therefore the outer people would learn the tradition of Korea.

I know some people from other countries who are amazed by the developed subway compare to any other countries. The very first thing they say about the Seoul subway is that it is easy to follow along and very convenient to get to their destination quickly. As I have took the subway few times, there are lots of fun views for the people who take the subway. Like I mentioned it before there are clothing places, food places, and other places that represents the tradition of Korea. Here are some pictures of them.

Dokdo island is Japan's!?

There are few Japanese middle school text book which they claim that Dokdo island is their island. The government of Korea is going to send a letter from the education minister to Japan, if more textbooks are found. Korea's government are willing to see the change of the textbook soon as possible.

This arguement have gone off between Korea and Japan for a long time. Each countries claim that Dokdo island is theirs. Couple years ago Japan had admitted that Dokdo island is Koreas, that is why South Korea wants Japanese middle textbooks to change because textbooks are educational book which are read and learned by the students. To make it clear Japan should change the text as soon as possible. As I am a Korea citizen, I do not feel pleasant when I see maps or people say the island is Japan's. It is not only the island, it is also the Japan sea. It should not be called after Japan because it is not Japan's sea.

Activists to fly anti-N.K. balloons next month

After a huge earthquake in Japan, North Korea is concerned that mountain Baek-du would explode. Therefore North Korea and South Korea decided to have a meeting on Tuesday to discuss over the volcano in North. South Korea government asked to fly anti-North Korea propaganda over Imjinkag. It is a issue for sending the propaganda because ever since now none of the rightest groups announced the propaganda activity.

This tells how this meeting is sensitive for the North because the activities of South Korea will actually influence a lot for them. These days the world is going up and down for Japan's natural disaster, radioactive, Libiya, and possibility explosion of mt Baek-du. By this chance I am glad that North and South are meeting up. Last time when the South asked for a meeting after exchanging fires, but North refused to have a talk with the South. Taking this opportunity, North and South should think once more about each others.

Let’s Buy Flowers.

After Japan's earthquake and tsunami, Korea is trying their best to protect human's health for number one then they are taking care and worried of the production of farmers. Korea ships 32 percentage of agricultural and fishery production to Japan. Since the huge disaster, a owner of  a flower shop in Gwangju lower downed the price of a nice bunch of flowers to five dollars or less than five. As known to the world Japan's earthquake and tsunami have affected the other countries production. Among the products hit hardest are flowers, especially roses.

The world is tuning on red lights on their economy. A huge natural disaster in Japan did not finish only in Japan itself it spread the disaster to the others too. I always feel bad because the poor people would always be the target who would get negative sides after all. I do not know how long it would take to recover the production but hope that time shortens.

Military Drills to Take Place on Anniv. of Cheonan Sinking

It's been first anniversity since South Korea's Cheonan navel ship sank under the sea. South Koreans assume the reason why the ship sank down is because of North Korea's attack, but there is no positive proof of the attack. Anyway South Korea militaries are planning on drills to celebrate the anniversity. From Friday the Navy will conduct three-day maritime drills in Yellow Sea. Also they will conduct firepower demonstration by mobilizing K-1 tanks and K-9 guns.
Pray for the repose of soilders' souls. But South Korea should not blindly assume North Korea for sinking of Cheonan navel ship. It is a glad news to hear we are still remembering the soilders and celebrating for them.

Kia motors crop said they have been forced to be scheduled this way. As countries around the world like the vehicle, K5, the company is trying to increase the production of it.

Thanks to all, whom loves our vehicle so much. It's not good to hear that the shipping schedule has been delayed but other countries love K5 and want them so Korea feels relieved. At this moment economy is having a hard time over the world because of the earthquake from Japan and launch from UN. I hope world's economy calms down as soon as possible.

Seoul sends radiation experts to Japan

Korea sends radiation experts to Japan. Japan's nuclear bomb had exploded and people in Japan are scared to be infected from the explosion. Most of the people in Japan are contagion to the explosion of nuclear so they are trapped in the source of infected people. As nearest neighbor to Japan, Korea felt sympathy towards Japan and dispatched radiation experts.

People around the world are worried to get infected by the nuclear bomb, which happend after the huge earthquake in Japan. People are extra careful because of the effect of the bomb. If humans get infected by this bomb they are easily to get aids and disorder function of humans' body. Right now Japan is trying their best to save people from the bomb. In worst case Japan decided to put cement over the nuclear bomb. For people's health I hope Japan save the nuclear bomb, and other countries should help Japan from protecting our lives like Korea did.

Gov't to Review NK Proposal to Discuss Baekdu Volcano

A letter from North Korea flys to South Korea. In the letter it says both countries should be preparing in study of volcano and pursuing coorperative projects because of the possibility of explosion of mount Baekdu. This mountain is a dormant volcano which is in between of China and North Korea. People are saying there is a big possibility because the board of the Earth have moved since there was a huge natural disaster in Japan. Big earth quake have moved Japan 2 meters toward the pacific ocean and Korea also have moved too. Now people are debating if mount Huji and mount Baekdu would explode soon.

Once again I trust natural disaster is dangerous and unpredictable thing for human. Atom bomb is made up because of development of human but earthquake, tsunami, and volcano is unstoppable to human. We all know there is nothing to do to stop from the explosion but we are wishing nothing else happens.

Former ‘comfort women’ pray for Japan

"Comfort Women" are women who were forced to have sex with Japanese army during World War II. They were all sent to Japan when they were teenagers. But the comfort women proudly came out in front of the Japanese Embassey in Seoul and cheered for Japan. One of them said, “We hate their past wrong, not the people. We offer our deep condolences to those who lost loved ones”. They all decided to hold on a memorial day for Japna's nature disaster.



Admiration and shameness strike my mind right now. I can't understand how they show respect towards Japan and make a quick decision of memorial day. But when i read a quotation from an old women(We hate their past wrong, not the people.), I started to understand their mind.
When I see some ignorant stars saying Japan's disaster is from their unfaithful belief of God, they should be ashamed of themselves and take time for self-examination. I do really want to apologize instead of them to Japan. However, when I see old ladies siting outside in coldness and comfort them, I am really pleased and ashamed for myself.

South Korea and Abu Dhabi in pact to develop oil fields

Korea and Abu Dhabi national oil company made a deal to reserve one billion barrels of oil. Korea has a big significance upon oil. They want to secure energy resources to be a better country than China and India. This deal will be finalised next year and raise Korea's oil import up to 10 to 15 % of consumption.

As South Korea has a great importance about oil, this deal with Abu Dhabi national oil company will be helping the economy of Korea. Couple weeks ago, Korea was trying to save electricity to save money for rising oil price. The government of Korea decided to turn off the lights of entire Seoul, which gave many people difficulties for that moment. After the deal, South Korea does not have to worry about oil anymore.

Great Help from Korea.

Korea have done a meaningful donation to Japan. Famous pop stars of Korea have donated big amount of money.(one billion, or 100million dollars) They are all wishing for the same thing; better environment for Japan. Not only stars, but also Korea very fist company, Samsung also have donated money to show sympathy towards Japan. To help Japan from recovering, government of Korea sent agency across Japan. They are sent for helping Japnese military to keep looking for missing people.

When I hear news saying "Korea expresses sympathy to Japan", "Pop Star/Company donation" I am very delight that Korea is helping our nearest neighbor country for their recover. In my own opinion, as I mentioned before Korea is the nearest country from Japan. Even in the past Japan have been Korea's enemy, now when any other countries are having hard time, they should help each other no matter what.

One Korean dead body found.

Since Japan have been destroyed by the magnitude earth quake, huge amount of people died and been missing. Of course there are some Korean citizens in Japan. Right now there are not correct number of dead bodies. Up to now there is one person who died from the tsunami and seventy people missing from the natural disaster. Related people who is waiting to hear any news from them are anxiously awaiting.

Every time I see news, tears are formed in my eyes. Even though I did not go through the difficulties, I really want Japan to survive from appaling environment. For definite I do not want to see more Koreans and Japanese dieing. I really want to help and pray for better environment soon as possible. 

Huge EARTH QUAKE in Japan

On 11th of March, Japan gets a major damage from 8.8 earth quake. After a big hit of an earth quake, 13foot tsunami struck and washed off the buildings, cars, and people. Because of a huge earth quake, people in Japan had to experience inconvenience: blocked networks, trains stop, stumbling around etc. Elevators in tall buildings suddenly stopped and people could find smoke coming out from the buildings too. Japan was in shock because the earth quake was much serious than they thought. And aftershocks gave huge damge to the people in Japan.

Couple weeks ago there was a earth quake in New Zealand. Although New Zealand had a big one the number of massive was not a big as Japan. And as Korea is the closest country from Japan, I bet the farthest down of Korea paninsula had quite felt the movement. Hopefully Japan should recover the damage as soon as possible.

Seoul in Dark!

Eariler today in Seoul, the largest population city pitched into darkness. The government has shut down the electric because of the rising oil price. The government is trying best to save some money of the country by switching off the lights. As government is solving the problem like this, which tells the citizens of South Korea how the oil price rise is hurting the resource starved country.

I hope the oil price stops rising so our country does not have hard time. I do not want to see Seoul being out of electric and giving uncomfortable situation to the people in Seoul. There is no solution until the oil price goes down, so our country and government should be waiting with desperate mind wishing the oil price to go down.

Cyberattack in south korea

South Korea gets attacked by virus! The government and other important bank sites were closed by the virus. Internet security infirm in Seoul, Ahn Lab was the one to discover the virus but not how. Luckly there was no big damage to any sites. Everyone who got attacked by it was glad that this time it was not serious like 2009.

As I am one of the internet user too, it is a pain in neck if the computer gets a virus. If i think of the virus on 2009, this day's virus is much better and glad thing for the computer user for the government and other important sites that are used for the country.

Korean Students have less satisfaction compared to other peers.

After an experiment, it concluded that Korean students were less happy than other peers. In the survey that they have taken, Koreans had less percentage of their satisfaction compared to Japan and China. As Korean students show low achievenment, their thoughts toward nation and family.

I think the main result to the low fulfillment is the Korea education. Unlike other countries Korea has a strong importance to education. Korean students have more than ten subjects to study; they even study phsical education!! Even they finish their school classes they have extra classes to take, and these classes end at midnight! Therefore wealty families send their children aboard to other countries for their children's freedom and their existence childhood. As Korean students are stressed out with their unaffordable amount of study they are becoming pessimistic and earning less satisfacion.

Japanese and Korean firms look to Brazil for rare earth

South Korea and Japan are sharing Brazilian rare earth minerals. Both two countries need these minerals to manufacture goods such as hybrid cars. China halted the earth materials when  a  Japans's navy arrested a chinese boat. Since this recent situation Japan has said they will now cut down their reliance of the material by a third fromChina. Both countries are turning to Brazil for the goods since chinas supply export is decreasing.
This is a new way for the economy to run without fully depending on China for everything.And opening the trading world up for other countries such as Brazil.

Developed technology.

South Korea's government needs faster internet connections. They intends to connect internet for every houses at one gigabit per second. While other countries are following up the speed of the internet, South Korea is at a full gallop. They have the fastest internet connections among the world. The reason why Korea is having a fast develop of technology is because of Koreans' rapid adaptations.

I am glad that Korea has the fastest internet connections. Which is really convenient for the citizens and the government. The gigabit internet is also for the essential future of  South Korea. I would like to thank the developed technology because this project is also meant to  increase wireless broadband services. On the other hand when i think of the internet addiction it can be bad for the youngsters who can not help themselves from avoiding internet. But as gigabit internet gives out help to the government and most of the citizens, in my own opinion it is a great project.

South Korea prepares to counterattack.

South Korea takes action to the threaten from the North. Seoul accelerates stealth fighter movements to secure their own aircrafts and keep pace with other countries' seeking. The Seoul government are expecting to master acquisition strategy by June with a condition purchasing 60 next generation fighters. South Korea has a strong faith in stealth fighters to defend our peninsula. 

I am very eager to hear that South Korea is actually preparing to protect our country. Even though the government have to invest large amount of money, I think it would might help South Korea to be organized. In some way I think accelerating stealth fighter is a good preparation, on the other hand South Korea's military should be more trained. After making a strong military, I think South Korea is prepared for the counterattack.

Threaten from North!

North Korea have threatened South Korea on the propaganda balloons. They say they are going to fire across the South Korea's boundaries. South Korea's national defense committee describes the rejection of dictatorship and that Mr. Kim, North Korea president, harshly ruling his son Kim jung un who will be the next president of North Korea.

When I see North Korea threatening South Korea is not a good thing, also when South Korea have sent the North propaganda balloons, in my opinion i thought it was not a right decision of South Korea's president. I want North and South to have a nice relationship, which refers not threatening others and not sending mean massages. To have a better connection between the North and South, they should first have a time for a talk. I hope North Korea thinks once more about having a conversation with South, so they can have a step to a good relationship.
