Greenwich

It was a quite long journey to get to Greenwich because of the problem of tube, despite the trip was a kind of living do for Claudio who has lived in the same home stay as me for 3months. He is one of my close friends in London. He and me have shared many small and big events together - furthermore, he is incredible hilarious. That guy went back to his country yesterday; I’ll miss him. For this reason, we had visited Greenwich at the day before the day. It is certain a town as stunning as my father said. I've been lots of captivating places in Britain so far, but the small town, Greenwich, would be remembered as the best. We looked around the beautiful town until the night. I figured out some points for tourists at the night. At night the scenery could be much better than the other times and we could come up some fabulous laser from the top of the hill to the centre of the city as well. Greenwich is really worth visiting. I recommend being there.

Bicester Village

I browsed the shop, Jimmy Choo, for almost 30minutes.

Can you guess his nationality?

We actually call her as Taiwanese English because she's been living here for 7years!

I'm learing bear's language.

The poor man who he was waiting for someone for a long time.

How long are you wating for your partner?

I got down to the famous place, Beiceste Village, especially for women. Unfortunately it is not really London. It's nearby Oxford it's famous for the fabulous university, Oxford University. I've never been Oxford yet, but I hope getting there as soon as I can. Anyway there are lots of shops. It seems a big outlet formed a village, so the qualities of the shops are really good like others on frantic streets and the prices are also lovely. Meanwhile my friends were buying some things I bought one clothes at a shop as well, but, unfortunately, it took a really short time. Afterward ladies led the poor men we had already finished our shopping and I couldn't follow ladies' work well they seem WONDER WOMEN. I mean they have incredible good stamina to shop. The funniest fact was many men were outside of shops with lots of paper bags even it was incredible cold. They had also been waiting for women until their shopping was finished. How hilarious!

I'm definitely glad to get your lovely presents, Natsumi!

She packed them up in a small paper back with a lovely short message.

I got a gift from one of my friends! It was my first time that I was given some present from my friend in London. She gave me a lovely Japanese hankie and a pair of quirky socks it seems so hard to wear while going out because of the interesting design that it has just two covers for toes, but it would be a good souvenir to remember her and my life of London as well. I'm really pleased to get it. Natsmi, I really hope you're getting over. I'll jump at the chance to go on holiday in this spring if it is possible. Take care of your self-

I recalled an expression about London as soon as I saw it.

'I feel as right as rain.'

Korea into the world

A lot of various people and countries are over the world. Have you seriously thought how foreign people think of our country? I have recently discussed our history with my Chinese friend who is one of my closest friends in London and shocked - it was actually argument. There was no point in making the conclusion because it was perfectly different from our education. I figured some points out which information is wrong throughout Korea and China in education.

For instance, we've learned just the good side of Go Jo Seon as if it was really a strong country as enough as fighting against China. I presume the half of it is true - it was far bigger than now, but I couldn't believe well the border in our history book . My teachers have taught me as if lots of Chinese land was our land because many Korean ancient formed bronze knives are come up in the Chinese areas, but I reckon we exaggerate our history. I have recently realised I don't know well how the great ancient Korean kingdom was wiped out. Probably the reason why I can't think of is my teachers haven't thought me very well how it was devastated.

On the other hand, Chinese people have absolutely no idea that our kingdom was as several times big as now - they don't want to recognise that our history. The most surprising thing is European people who have studied oriental history think that South Korea stole the history of North Korea!

I didn’t fall out with him anymore because it is unlikely to integrate identified. Our history is absolutely reduced by other countries. Nobody has interested in the history of the Third World, and, likewise, it has been easily controlled by developed counties. I presume our history is not that diffenrent. We've been frantic to make our country develop for a while, but we should know our history is less estimated than the authentic one.

Therefore I would like to say there is no meaning showing off our history in this coutry. I strongly believe that we can alter the awareness of our history of international view. “Yes, we can” like Burack Obama’s quote. Bravo Korea!

2008 World Press Photo

London is lots of photo exhibitions as many exhibitions of Photographer Gallery. Unfortunately it is not regular exhibition and it doesn't have good rooms, but I'm sure it would be worth visiting if you were interesting in photography. We usually enjoy taking or watching photos that almost of them probably would be normal photography. Press photo is a different sort of photography we usually contact it on media or newspaper. It's located near River Thames. The location is about 15minutes away from our school by a walk.

The terrorists

What do they look like?
A few weeks ago, they organized a horrible group called as IHT that it stands for International House Terrorists. The guy, Chinese, who he is in the middle of the left hand is a trained staff of the group. The other guy, Saudi Arabian, who he is in the middle of the right hand is a messenger to announce our message. Last one guy, Taiwanese, who he is in the middle of the photo is the leader of this horrible group. Be careful them if you go to London.
( To be honest, they are my best friends.)

Phantom of Opera and Treasure Island

Tim who he is Taiwanese took a photo of me in front of the poster of Phantom of Opera.

It's in front of the theatre.

She,Chris, was in front of the Treasure Island's theatre to be taken a photo of her.

It's me.

I've been an incredible busy week because I saw a football match and two performances. I'm uploading some of their photos that I took them at the theatres of Phantom of Opera and Treasure Island. They are probably a good play and a good musical, but I was bored to tears. The problem is I've got discerning eye to estimate some performances because I saw many performances during I've been living in London. All of them that I've seen are really fabulous. I haven't ever seen any boring performances in London before I saw them.

The Phantom of Opera uses a special set like almost all another musicals, but, especially, I’m sure the set is the best one I've ever seen. Before I had seen it, I had curious how to express the plot because the plot of the book is really complicated to set on a small stage, but it was a stunning set as if it's a miracle! I couldn't complaint anything about the fabulous set, but I think of the music makes us bored because the rhythms of the music were exactly same from first leg of the musical to last leg of it. It doesn't mean the music of the musical was horrible. I just want to say they don't express very well the atmosphere in the music. The music would be better if they play various repertoires.
Anyway ,the other hand, Treasure Island is based on a book. The story was too simple, so we could read the story like a book. It is the worst play I've ever seen. I reckon it was actually not horrible for another people who they are proficient English as native speakers, but I couldn't understand it as well because the actors spoke too much. After it had been finished, I was worn out because I focused on all my though to hear it during I was watching it. The play was horrible, but it was really good to improve my English ability. How funny! -_-
