[tweetmeme source=”Jaehoonkorea” https://jaehoonj.wordpress.com/2010/02/28/monthly-specia…lunar-calendar/]

 Jeongwoldaeboreum(정월대보름) (also called just “Daeboreum”) means the Biggest Full-Moon Day in a year. The day is decided by Lunar Calendar. Jeongwoldaeboreum is 15th of January by Lunar Calendar, and this year (2010), 28th of February is the Jeongwoldaeboreum.

Jeongwoldaeboreum is the First Moon of the year, so we wish our health, luck and love.  Especially we eat so many cooked potherbs with Rice mixed with the five cereals for our health.

Firstly, like I said (even though it’s “wrote”) we eat Rice mixed with the five cereals. There are Beans, Adzuki beans(Red beans), Barley, Sorghum and Millet in Ogokbap(Rice mixed with the five cereals in Korean name). They are all good for Health! You should eat them in Korea at least once hehe.

Secondly, it’s Yakbap! Everyone, even a kid would love it! It’s made of Rice , Nuts and Taffy liquid. It’s really delicious, you can have it as a snack! It tastes sweet, and if you eat them with a cup of tea, it would be perfect! In the Yakbap, there are many nuts, also pine nuts, jujubes and so on! It makes Yakbap more delicious and sweeter.

Supplementary Class in Vacation!? Is that All?!

A: “Supplementary Class in Vacation!? Is that All?!”

B: No, of course not! but Almost ^^;

[tweetmeme source=”Jaehoonkorea” https://jaehoonj.wordpress.com/2010/02/04/supplementary-…on-is-that-all/]

In Korea, highschoolers have to go to schools in vacation for a couple of weeks or more. For what? Of course for Study. There are many many so many supplementary classes in Korean highschools. It consists of supplementary classes and self-study time. However as I mentioned, it’ not all. We have free(?) weeks too.

BUT as a senior, I think it’s really encouraging! I know Study is not that funny, but you can control study time and play time by taking supplementary classes. Also, It’s the chance you can study what you really wanted to learn. I learned German more in Supplementary classes. There’s a limited classmates system, so I can focus on learning. In addition, many special classes appear thesedays. In my school, students don’t have a lot of time to exercise, so there were badminton classes! How COOL! You can enjoy, learn and study what you can.

Vacation is not only for Rest, but also Study. I think it’s the perfect time to develop yourself.

+)

Pls do not think that’s hard, cuz we’ve got really a lot of time to play, too. hehe=) and there aren’t much time for study, it usually ends before 3 p.m. or less or more XD

Center of Seoul, CityHall Station!

[tweetmeme source=”Jaehoonkorea” https://jaehoonj.wordpress.com/2010/02/03/center-of-seoul-cityhall-station/] 

As you saw on my first post, Seoul Cityhall has been under construction, and now see what changed! The cover around cityhall has changed! I love that picture and the materials of the wall weren’t papers and paints. Those were… I can’t explain it! It was awesome, you should be there!

Next to the cityhall station, there’s Deoksugung, one of the Korean palaces. In front of the entrance there was a costume show, people were wearing medieval Korean warriors’ costumes. It was really cool. I didn’t know that there is a performance like that, but a friend of mine said sometimes there’s a performance.

Since the subway station is near the Cityhall, there’s a big square that we can enjoy so many things! There are some concerts on Saturday nights, and other events are held there. This time was “Experiencing the South Pole”. I don’t know why there was the event experiencing the South Pole, but to children, it was “Wow!” It’s a pity that I couldn’t experienced that, because I didn’t have much time to do that.

[Monthly Special] Everything Starts with SEOUL Station

[tweetmeme source=”Jaehoonkorea” https://jaehoonj.wordpress.com/2010/01/30/monthly-special-everything-starts-with-seoul-station/]  

Since Seoul is the Capital city of Korea, of course You MUST go to Seoul Station. Seoul Station is located in Jung-gu(gu means “region”). Actually Seoul Station is little bit different from other stations. There are 2 stations in the Station. Did you understand what I mean? There are a subway(metro) station and also train station too!

Almost 900,000 people visit the Seoul Station per day. Not only as a station but also as a mall, you can ride a train and even go shopping! It became a Complex Station in 2003.

The Seoul station was built in 1900 as the name of “KyongSeong” station when Korea was the colony of Japan. There were many changes like Kyongseong → Namdaemun → Kyongseong againg, but finally it has had the name of “Seoul” when Korea got independence from Japan.

It’s the exhibition of the pictures when the station had former form. The former form has been destroyed so they are restoring now 😀 I think the design of building was quite cool, so I’m expecting to see it ^^The design is like English more than Korean.

The place where the Seoul station is located is the center of Seoul. If you want to know about Stations of Korea, YOU MUST; HAVE TO; SHOULD VISIT THERE ^_^!
