Journal #5 Knott's Berry Farm

Knott's Berry Farm Field Trip
-
I heared about that Knott's Berry Farm is very famous for their fried chicken restaurant and also the invention of the "boysenberry." Yes! Knott's Berry Farm had many great things to offer us. I think Knott's Berry Farm is a great amusement park that show a lot of American culture. Especially, I could feel at Ghost Town that is an 18880's California Boom Town with cowboys, gunfights, etc. Authentic in every detail. Ghost Town was like a real buildings transported from mining towns throughout the old west.
I rode almost whole thing. The most interested one was Xcelerator. That's really exciting. That looks like to take just 1 minute. But, my several friends (guys) avoid playing that ride. Viewed in this time, women is more stronger than men. :) Hahahaha
Some ride made to soak us nonetheless we were so fun.
The weather was also good and there are not crowded. Every thing was perfect.
After the our field trip, I had a dinner with my friends. And I could feel more closed them.

Journal #3 One of popular KPOP Group


BigBang
Each of country has idol-star which singer, model, actor, actress, and so on. Today, I want to introduce the most popular idol-group in Korea for my classmates.
That group is BigBang.
They are five group members, Daesung, G-Dragon, Taeyang, Seoglee, and T.O.P. (look at the picture of the upper part) Many girls like T.O.P. But actually, all of them are popular. They are also famous to Chinese and Japanese. Yesterday, when I was watching BigBang's music video, Henry who seat next to me had known about them. At that time, I really felt that their power of popular.
Their musics were raised the top rank for almost 2months. Not only their musics but also their fashion items became to popular. Especially, T.O.P used to put on his eye-liner(makeup), thereby some Korea men are initiated to put their eye-liner.
