The cartoon museum

Ann, me and Naura

Last week, in the last lesson of Clare's class, we went to the cartoon museum where is opposite the British museum. It's a little bit difficult to get the information because there is quite small and built new. Even though there is like that, but we were satisfied with visiting there because it's free for students(;). I'm afraid about that Clare who she used to be our teacher paid money to enter there because unfortunately she is not a student. The museum makes up 2 floors, but both the floors are quite small, so we could look around the whole floors in 1hour. Even there is incredible small, it would be a good travel course because the British museum which is one of the most famous museums is opposite it, so you could see the famous museum after looking around there. I recommend visiting there if you're interested in cartoon and a student.

Enjoy the fervent Salsa dance

Many western countries' people love dance, such as Samba and Salsa. Salsa is especially a lovely dance. Could you guess why I'm saying about the dance? The reason is I went clubbing to learn Salsa. Of course it was a free lesson, so it made me happy, but also too many people were getting crazed into the dance because it was a manic night on Friday. I couldn't see well the dancing teacher because of the crazed people, but it was really fantastic. I was also getting crazy like them. Some of them danced like a professional dancer. They were incredible flexible to use their body, but my body seemed a pair of chopsticks. Furthurmore I didn't follow lesson very well, so my partners didn't want to dance with me any more after that we finish one part of the lesson. -_- My French friend who dances well said "You could practice the dance to YouTube if you wanted to do it.” Alright I got it. Wait a few years, Salsa. I would get possession of you.

Diana vickers (in X factor 2008)


I saw her in Xfactor last Saturday that the subject was the music by Michael Jackson. Almost all people in this competition sang well, but she was the best one at the moment because her voice was amazing that it's my cup of tea. I haven't enjoyed watching the programme because unfortunately some of the songs are rubbish, but I've become to like it since I watched her.
I wrote the lyric below this writing.
-
Man in the mirror - Micheal Jackson (This lyric is for the original version)
I'm Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My LifeIt's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A DifferenceGonna Make It Right
. . .As I, Turn Up The Collar On MyFavourite Winter
CoatThis Wind Is Blowin' My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street,With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?Pretending Not To SeeTheir Needs
A Summer's Disregard,
A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man's Soul
They Follow Each Other On
The Wind Ya' Know'Cause They Got Nowhere To Go
That's Why I Want You To Know

Wine and beer

Do you know a bottle of wine that it was sold in Korea is one of the most expensive in the world? In Europe the price is much cheaper than Korea. European people usually can buy a bottle of wine from 5£ to 20£ at a market like Sainsbury's and Tesco, but he qualities of the wines are quite good compared with Korea. The funny thing is almost British people like beer more than the cheap wines, but the beer's price is slightly expensive than Korea. I also tend to drink beer because many people just drink beer when we went to a pub together. It’s a big ironic.

My camera was stolen by someone.

I had the worst day in my London life a few days ago. My bag was stolen by someone in Mc Donald where there is near the Leicester square and opposite KFC. How funny? I just put my bag in front of my feet and under the table when I was eating dinner at there. The funny thing is I didn't feel anything. Therefore I haven't take photos since the day. What the heck! I just blame myself. Nowadays I'm getting much better than before. I just got a good experience.

Oxford street and Mavel Arch











London is many streets for shopping. Especially the long street that there is from Oxford street to Marvel Arch is the best street to go shopping. There is always frantic and crowded. So some people don't like there because of the atmosphere. There are many shops. Some shops are really expensive like Burberry. But there are also many cheap shops like Topshop and Primarket.
I bought a scarf, an accessory and a hat in the cheaper shops. If you want to feel modern atmosphere in London, there is the best place to feel it. Maybe I'll go there next time for Boxing days. Almost shops are really discounted big for Boxing days. So many tourists would visit London for these days to go shopping. I'll make the lists that I want to buy some clothes before starting these days. I really hope that the exchange rates between Pound and Won would be lower before Boxing days!

Chicago

Chicago!
He is Masa from Japan.
He is Tim fro Taiwan.
A busking musician in a station.

The National gallery!
He is DoKyun from Korea. We met in front of the theatre after finished our dinner.
They are Tim and Chris for Taiwan.
Tim and Chris ordered and explained the foods for Masa and me.

A restaurant in China Town.
In front of the theatre.
The actress in Chicago.
Tim and me in front of Chicago.
They are the heroine of Chicago.
Chicago was really fabulous!



It was the second musical that I've seen in London. The musical started at 8PM, so we should go some where before then. After school we went to the National Gallery. I have ever been there fourth times, but I haven't seen all over them. Afterward we went to a Chinese restaurant in China Town with some of friends. Chris and Tim who they are from Taiwan ordered and explained the food. During having dinner we exchaged our languages that they are from Taiwan and Japan. So I learned a little bit slang in Taiwan and Japan. It was very fun. Afterward we went to watch Chicago! Fortunately we changed our seat from second floor to second row on first floor in front of the stage. I couldn't believe that we sat second row to watch the film in the big theatre! It was really amazing. We could see the faces of actors and actress and we could feel the atmosphere very well. It was fabulous! I haven't ever been sat the second row in like the big theatre before. The best important thing is we spent just 22pounds!

-p.s: Exchange rate is much higher than before. Nowadays 1pound exchanges more than 2,400won!

Beautiful - Christina Aguilera

I listened to the song a few days ago on MTV.
I could listen to really nice songs on the program that introduced popular songs in the world.
The one of the best song in the program was 'Beautiful' by Christina Aguilera.
I was shocked when I was watching the music video because the plot was really special in the music video.
It showed me about special people who weren’t loved from normal people.
They are a couple of gay, a guy wants to be a woman, a boy wants to be stronger and etc.
I didn't understand the means when I watched it first time.
The day after watched it on MTV, I watched the music video on my laptop over tenth times.
Look at this music video in details.
It'll touch your heart.

My first shopping in London



I bought a scarf, an accessory and a hat. It was my first shopping in London. Of course I've gone shopping many times in London since I started to live here, but I've never bought something till that day. I especially wanted to get this kind of black hats. I browsed a lot of shops to get it and saw similar types to the hat, but I haven't been satisfied with the hats except it that I bought. Some of hats were a little bit big, strange or expensive, but the hat that I bought a few days ago is really gorgeous. It was discounted by 15% because of my student ID. The student ID card is absolutely important thing to go shopping or to go abroad. It always makes me happy.

H.M.S Belfast

Look at Tower Bridge. It is raising.

You know? If the war ship has many canons, it is probably an old fashioned ship or a bad ship like this.


In a bridge, I saw outside through a window.
I have never seen any war ships since I finished doing my military service.

Do you know what is the long pole?
The top of the pole is a national flag and everyday I used to raise and descend a flag during I had been joining navy.


He is my friend Sueng Hyun who he graduated from the same high school with me.


In Bridge

a cannon

a cabin of gunnery

Hello!

what does it focus on?

I met Seung Hyun last Saturday to go to H.M.S Belfast and Tower Bridge.
He arrived in London two weeks ago. I was really pleased meeting him. I gave him some information how to live in London as well. It's based on my experience that I got many mistakes last month because it was my first travel in a foreign country, so I advised him the way to save money. Afterward we went to H.M.S Belfast it stands for Her Majesty’s Ship. Belfast is historical and big when it fought in Second World War. It is really a good place if you prefer some military stuffs except the slightly expensive fee. -_- As soon as I passed through the first part of the ship, I got an audio guide from the staffs that they wore an uniform as real naval soldier. It was really useful to be told the history or the facilities of the ship, but I didn't need it any more because I've already known any kinds of ships as well. During I was looking around there, I could recognize almost all facilities of the objects, so I could explain well the ship to my friend .When I was looking around there, I thought of when I worked in navy for my military service.
Thank H.M.S Belfast and Seung Hyun.I really had a good day. ^_^

Walkabout




It's my first time in a club.
We went to a student party at Walkabout nearly Leicester square station.
There was a normal pub till 9PM.
After 9PM, all tables and chairs were moved on.
And all people got crazy.
We also danced like them. -_-
Look at these photos. Why they look like good?
Because of these photos were taken before 9PM.
After drinking the bear, we got crazy like the other people.
Anyway club is very funny place. But I like a pub more than clubbing.
