These days, we have been in the rainy season.
Recently, the rainy season has begun in Korea./ The rainy season started not long ago in Korea. )Usually the Korean rainy season starts in late June, and ends around the end of July. So recently, everything is damp with humidity.
People usually don’t welcome long rainy days.
But there is no other way but to wait for it to pass.
So today I uploaded my winter pictures. (for a young Chinese friend, this year, I went skiing in January.)
Oh~ that day we had so much fun. Haha… My friend, who came from SiChuan China, was so excited. We had a really good time.haha~“`)
I hope these winter pictures can make you feel refreshed, even if it’s just a little.

♥(20th July 2011) Hi, everyone! How are you?
What are you doing now? What did you do on Wednesday?
OoooooOooooooo………Today I was so lazing. I didn`t do anything ａｔ　ａll.
So I will tell you my day from yesterday instead Em….even though it`s not easy because of my (poor) English.~~~
~~♥(19th July 2011)~~ I went to ‘Inchon International airport to attend the ‘bbb volunteer member`s meeting’. ‘bbb’ is a kind of language volunteer association, and I have been working as a bbb volunteer member since the 2002 Korean world cup football game.
If you want to know more detail about that bbb you can click on the following links. May be you can join also. Korean: http://www.bbbkorea.org/
Chinese : http://www.bbbkorea.org/cn/html/index/china_introduce_03.asp
English : http://www.bbbkorea.org/eng/html/index/flash_index.aspBy the way, this day, I took a few pictures and uploaded. I will explain those pictures now.The pictures which are at the front side: When I opened eyes, I was so surprised, since I found a n amazing sky though the window. Wow! So I quickly looked for my smart phone and I began to take those moments. At that time my husband woke up and asked me, “What are you doing now? Are you crazy? ” “What time is it now? “
Yes, Maybe, Oh no! I must have looked like a little crazy person. However at that moment I couldn`t stop.
As for me, at that moment the sky gave me a REALLY amazing feeling.
The sky started to slowly hide between the buildings but also it quickly became started to changecolor to a deep orange color.
And the picture on the middle part of some pictures: I went to the airport in the airport train/subway. That airport train/subway runs between Seoul to the international airport, and it was opened this year. It`s very convenient and fast. If you come to Seoul you can take it very easily, and it`s also cheap. If you take this train (subway) you can see Korean West sea while coming to Seoul. And the other pictures: bbb members are attending a meeting.
It was a meeting that our bbb volunteer and this airport will cooperate together in order for help language communication between Korean and foreigner. ( 17 kind of languages’ volunteers are working now.)
Wow..can you see that day`s sky through the pictures? BULE? CLEAR?
And then? How beautiful! After long rainy days, we finally have a sunny day!• Oh, the pictures which are there in the back side: They are my Chinese class students. How are they? Don`t you think they are nice? This is a Chinese hobby classes, and all of they are very nice students. Today one of student`s took some yellow melons and the other student took drink (alcohol), they are now saying “Cheer for our happiness! “
We sometimes used to eat something with laughter and share our feelings.
Oh it`s Chinese beginning class. And that flower in the bottle is a tea which the second class`s one student took from Hong kong trip.
Hooooo…..my one day is closed. Oh, no! It wasn`t end. After I finish my classes, I went to the market with my son. . Owwww… When I came back home I was really~really ~really tired. So?
Then after I went to bed? OH, NO! I couldn`t.! My old friend called me and said ”Please help my niece work in Chinese“. OKKKK! I drove and went to her house with my son, and help her work in Chinese. Even though my Chinese is not enough but I helped her within my ability. Hewwww….then finally my day was over.
(♥ Thank you very much for reading.♥ )

2011.7.10) ’pizza’ and ‘Han-Gang
(My first picture and video taken with my new smart phone)
• On July 10th 2011, in the late night, two of my family members and I went out and ate some pizzas in Itaewon. Then on the way back we drove through Han-Gang.
• I tried taking pictures and video with my new smart phone.
• You know? These are my first pictures and video that I took with my smart phone
• Wow….It`s a real smart phone.♬~
• Yeah~~right! It`s smarter than me! A lot more!

Takanashi always walks three kilometres a day, and he sometimes rides a motorbike. He often works in his garden, and he usually does martial arts in the morning. He is never stressed, and he is hardly ever ill. Not unusual you think? But Takanashi is 90 years old.
Takanashi lives on the island of Okinawa in Japan. In Okinawa people live a very long time. They are hardly ever ill. Many people live to be 100, more people than in other parts of the world. Why? What is their secret?
The Okinawan eat vegetables, fruit, fish, soya and rice. They usually have seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day. People don't usually drink much alcohol or smoke. They don't eat much meat or fast food.
Physical activity is very imortant for the people of Okinawa. Martial arts, walking, traditional dancing and gardening are very popular with people of all ages.
In many countries people have healthy diets and do exercise. But the unusual thing about the people in Okinawa is that they are not stressed. They are relaxed and take their time. Buses are hardly ever on time, and people often arrive an hour late for meetings. Every evening hundreds of people, young and old, go to the beach to watch the beautiful sunset. People often meditate to relax.
Another important thing is that people often work until they are 80, sometimes until 90! In the Okinawan dialect there is no word for "retired". They are busy and active all their lives. Old people don't stay at home- they go out and meet friends-.
When journalists ask people "What is the secret of your long life?, they answer: " We are happy, we are always positive, and we are never in a hurry".

I remember your smile from the past that never was, when we all lived together in tribes, in a valley, in the forests.

Our magical world was flowing with the music, and our dancing in circles allowed us to fly over fields.

Our heartbeat was the rhythm that made us connected, and we were dreaming together about this new life we'd live.

Thank you for returning home brothers and sisters, I have been waiting so long to dance together again here:
Welcome to paradise

Some of my friends call me a wimp because I am afraid of so many things. I am frightened by spiders, and I feel scared when I walk into a dark room. I am afraid of meeting new people, too. I am just a fearful person.

Some things make me more than frightened. When I look down drom the top of a very tall building, I am scared stiff. I am horrified by being alone. I never go to horro movies because I am terrified by them. When I saw "Bride of Frankenstein," I was absolutely petrified. I got sick to my stomach and couldn't sleep that night.

It's no fun being a wimp. I wonder if I'll ever change.

Are animals smart or dumb? What about computers? Are they intelligent or unintelligent? If a person has a small brain, is that person slow? The answers to these questions might surprise you.

Washoe is a female chimpanzee. Her trainers think she is bright. They trained her to communicate with humans using sign language, the language used by deaf people. She can talk by using 130 signs. Her trainers say she is clever enough to creat new signs.

On the other hand, people who work with computers say that some of today's machines are stupid. The current generation of computers cannot think. They cannot make brilliant decisions by themselves. But computer scientists are working on new computers that use artificial intelligence. These computers won't be as dense as those we use now. They will be able to think more like the human brain. Today we say that a person who is intelligent and knows many things is wise. Someday soon we may talk about those wise computers!

A university professor in England discovered that brain size is not related to intelligence. He examined a student who had a very small brain. He expected this student to be slow and thick. But the student was actually sharp and quick. Tests showed that he had an IQ of 126, which is more average. He wasn't brilliant, but he was more than smart. The professor found several hundred people who have very small brains but are intelligent.

---------<learning >---------------
If you stop at twenty or at seventy,
the one who stops will become old.
The people that keep on learning will not only remain young,
but also he/she will be a more worthy person regardless of physical exertion.
