Subway!

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.

Great Donation

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.

Good production

In Korea they have been designed a gorgeous car K5, a vehicle, has been winning popularity from the world. K5 is produced from Korea's second largest automaker Kia. Currently K5 has been delayed for a half year to ship to Europe. 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.More production will help increase the beneficial points of economy! 

Increasing economy

The news is informing to the readers that Korea has hit the highest peek of the moment. Over the first quarter Korea's economy grew about 1.4 percentage. The exports of Korea has been increasing too. The manufacturing industry continued its expansion by growing 3.2 percent on quarter in the January through March period. Right now the price of oil and fruits and vegetables are not knowing to stop increasing. That is how Koreans are having hard time with spending money on them. A lot of people in Korea is worried about the increasing economy and getting broke in their wallet. I hope the economy goes down as soon as possible so it helps people to live this world little bit more easier. People are tending to eat less fruits and vegetable because of their price which will end up having bad health for the Koreans. So the economy should go down until people can have their food and oil without hesitation.

Increasing house fee!

The price of house fee rose, which gives hard time for the people who need house desperately. The number of rent range have increased double, and the cause and the result is surging jeonse costs. Jeonse cost is known as lump-sum deposits. A growing number of homeowners are shifting by Korean way of leasing property based on jeonse. As the current economy of Korea is not good people are having hard time getting a house. I know some people near me who has to move once a year because of the rising price of house fee, so they are renting houses and moves around after their date have due. The citizens will not want to see the price keep rising and rising. The increase of house fees would make things ever more difficult for those with a low income to escape the pressure of rents.
To help poor people the government of Korea should try harder to help them for doing whatever they can. I hope this problem is figured out as quick as possible.

Another proposal between North and South

Another letter flew across from North to South about their new proposal about the explosion of mt. Baekdu. 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. 

As North and South are having several meeting about their plan, to be honest i'm getting nervous about this explosion of mt. Baaekdu. I thought of the explosion then the choas. It is just a disaster even though you just think about it. From later on I hope they gather more ideas of the explosion and if it does explode then the government of both countries should report their country how to protect themselves from the HUGE disaster

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.

Nonhyup Poorly Managed System Passwords

Nonhyup, the national agricultural cooperative federation, had a bad job of protecting their security password. The report shows that in the most extreme cases, the cooperative did not change some of its fifth teen system's passwords for nearly seven yearsTheir passwords had same numeric repeated passwords, which is not good to secure your banking system.

First thing they should do is to change the password that is not repeated and short. It has to be at least eight characters that are not the same. This is a huge problem because Nonhyup is one of biggest Korea's agricultural federation and the security shouldn't have been released that easily. As soon as possible the company should fix the problem and make sure none of other information have been out in the world to not damage their company.

Highest pit

Korea hits a new high point of KOSPI despite of nuclear power plant and Japan's earthquake and tsunami. The KOSPI rose fithteen percentage and became 2,121 compare to last year which rose 2,115. The net investors bought about seven hundred billion won, which increased the rise of index.

I am glad to know something in the economy is running fine! By today's blog I have learned more about KOSPI. I know this may sound stupid, but when i first asked another international students what is KOSPI most of the them did not know what I was talking about. Since "K" in KOSPI stands for Korea. This investment chart only refers to Korea. Anyway it is nice to hear a good news about Korea's rising economy.

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.

Korea toughens rules on Japan food

From now on Korea is being strict on the food that is imported from Japan. Since Japan have poured the radioactivity in the ocean, Korea is affected by the radioactivity. Korea is in horror because of the foundation of radioactivity from there industrial. The government of Korea is tough on the imports to protect their citizens from radioactivity before more radioactivity is found in the country.

Even though I am in the states right now, I am worried about the spread of radioactivity. I think the decision of Japan is a wrong and selfish thing to do for other countries. I don't think Japan responded right to the helps from other countries. I hope the radioactivity decreases, so people can be less horrified.

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.

Koreas agree to conduct field survey on Mt. Baekdu

South Korea and North Korea have made an agreement of survey on line for the talk of mt. Backdue volcano. They already had their first meeting for the threat of explosion of volcano. Both of the countries are meeting with each other more often because of the possibility of the explosion, and they are keep trying their best to solve the problem that they are holding on to.

Another meeting with the North, which gives more talk between North and South. Since the mt. Backdue is threatening people of its explosion, I want the government to report if we are safe. If I think about the aftershock of the explosion, the fact about huge damage towards us is horrifying and impossible.

S.Korea Processed March Record Container Cargo Volume

To export or import goods to other countries, each countries must put their materials in a certain kind of container box which are huge! Korea informs that their container boxes are larger than last month. They made a record on one-point-86 million TEUs, or 20-foot equivalent units, up 15-point-three-percent year-on-year. Korea is recording that the volume of the container boxes which are imported and exported have ranked the highest so far.

Korea seems to develop their economy, by having big container boxes for their imports and exports. As they have much bigger containers, I assume that there is a lot of imports and exports. If Korea keep up their effort on the trade marks, I believe they would have a great outcome.

Radioactive AIR!!

 Korea is concerned over Japan's dumping dirty water. According to international law, officials of Korea argued that there is a limited amount of contaminated water that can be thrown away. They have a possible flow of radioactive air current that moves toward into Korea. Experts claim that the radiation will soon be diluted in the Pacific ocean. I believe that Koreans should be aware of these ongoing issues and keep out from the radiation that is coming from Japan. In Japan there are lots of people who is exposed by the radiation already. I saw a mother and a daughter talking to each other having a glass in between them because the child has been exposed by the radiation. Since people know how dangerous the radiation is, Korea should be careful.
