My Newspaper is Yahoo

These days, most people are apt to gain a lot of information throughout Internet. To enter the place where there are many sources for them, people would like to select one of the big portal web sites. They may say that the representative web sites are Microsoft, Yahoo, and Google. Actually, I am very poor at using a computer; however, I really enjoy surfing the Internet in order to search for some information, to read news, and to write e-mails although there are lots of items on the Internet. When I turn on my computer, I firstly connect to the Internet. As soon as I connect to the Internet, the big web site that is called ‘Yahoo’ appears. That means that I am most likely to open the web site ‘Yahoo-Korea’ when I start Internet, owing to my favorite web site. This is because it is easy to use, easy to recognize, and well organized for me. Nevertheless, my e-mail address belongs to ‘Microsoft’, because many people who are related with me are prone to have the e-mail address in Microsoft. I do not know why they preferred that. Anyway, I am still enjoying Internet.

My Summer Vacation

Most people are looking forward to having summer come, being able to enjoy a summer vacation and replenishing their insufficiency. In summer, many people go on a vacation with their families or friends. They generally go to sea or mountains to avoid hot weather. Also, people make the best use if their time through reading books, learning skills, doing exercise, and so on. In my experience, however, it seems to me that I have never had a good time in summer vacation. When it was my school days, my parents made me stay home in order to study for extra subjects, and during my music life, I could not help staying in my own place by myself, needing to practice a lot of pieces for my performing. After having given up music life, I worked in social welfare facilities, such as an orphanage, a youth center, and a silver town (caring for older people); so, I had to work very hard without any summer vacation. Honestly, I am afraid of summer coming.

Oklahoma's Weather

When I was in Oklahoma, it was hard to get accustomed to its environment because of the weather. I could not help saying that it was odd. It seemed to me that there would be clear four sasons in a day, not a year. When I woke up early in the morning, as a brief explanation, it seemed to be in winter. It was quite cold. I should have put on warm clothes. In the course of time, it was getting warm gradually. By noon, I felt it was hot like in summer. Simultaneoutsly, there was severe wind. So, it was very hot inside, but outside was quite cold. Sometimes, it showered. Although I had rarely cought a cold in my life, I got a cold twice in Oklahoma. However, I am likely not to forget one thing - Oklahoma's sunset. I could not find the words to describe how beautiful it was when i saw it. I still miss Oklahoma

Traveling by my own car

Traveling by my own car

When I came to Carbondale city last week, I drove my own car, taking around 12 hours by car from Edmond city in Oklahoma. Many friends who met me at CESL were surprised at my traveling; however, I was very pleased to travel such a long time by car. In other words, I would really love to wander around in my own car because of relieving my stress, listening to music in a car, and thinking about my considerable matters.

While a driving my own car, firstly, I seem to forget my frivolous matters, concentrating on driving and being alone. Sometimes, I try to find a beautiful site and to enjoy the view there. This is one of the best reasons for traveling by car.
Secondly, I am prone to considering the stereo system in my car because listening to music in a car gives me fair pleasure. There are many kinds of genres in the CD case of my car. If it would be nice weather, I would rather choose beat music. Otherwise, I would be most likely to have ballad music. Anyway, listening music in my car is one of the favorable hobbies in my life.

Finally, I often solve my problems in my car during driving time. Whenever I have difficulties, I bring my car to an urban area because I need to refresh my atmosphere and re-think my considerable tasks. Driving a car occasionally gives me good idea for my life.

In conclusion, some people argue that driving cars would be dangerous, luxurious, and sometime unnecessary; however, it seems to me that driving gives me a lot of benefits in my life. In my experience, traveling with my own car provides relieving my pressure, being happy through listening to music, and having time to consider things by myself. So, I am accustomed to driving because there are many advantages to me.

Cape Town In South Africa

I once went to Cape Town in South Africa for six months, participating in missionary work, performing, and travelling in all over Africa by land; besides, my particular interest where I tended to visit was to learn more about Nelson Mandela, who I have respected so much in my life. I wanted to wander around Mandela's historical places. As I expected, when i got to Cape Town, I could not help falling into its beatiful landscape, for example, Table Mountain, lIon Hill, and Rdose Island, where had been in prison for 18 years, and many fantastic coasts. Furthermore, i met a lot of South Africans of various sex, age, origin, or color. Most of them were very kind. Actually, I had never been to such a beatiful country before in my life. Iwas stuck there. However, Iwas a little bit disappointed in South Africa, coming up against some troubles. I met robberies with guns twice, and my accommodation was broken into thieves. i could have died there. Even though South Africa is one of the most developed countries in the African continent, many people - especially black people - have lived below the poverty line. Anyway, I have learnt a lot of things for my life through the experiences and i would like to visit Africa again. I still love it there.
