Journal #3 Old Fears


If someone said to me like this. "If you don't touch the reptiles, I'll kill you". I think, I'm not going to touch. Likewise, I am extremely scare of the reptiles kind of Comodos, Flags, Lizards, Snakes. Reptiles have skin covered in scales and their skin usually moisture, and they have strange and long tongue. Watching TV program about the reptiles and even looking photos of the reptiles make me feel sick stomach. Once, while I visited in Indonesia, I went to a safari where lived horrible Comodos. The moment I standed facing it, I was almost fall down. I don't want to think about that time again. And in U.S.A on the way to home, I could frequently met many lizards. They are so quick and then vanished into ambushers making sound. So, that noise get on my nerves. When I look them what attached on the wall, I make a wry face. Many people try to overcome their fears but I think in my case, it look so impossible.

Journal#2 Getting around


If i compare with Korea and U.S about transportation system, I could say like this. "It's totally different." California state is bigger than even my whole country, Korea. But, my country have really good transportation system. I thought its reason that Korea is small because it's flexible to fix transportation system. However, having good transportation system is not mean good order system. My mean is that my country's transportation system is too complicated. The other hand, America's transportation system is good ordered. So, if you are beginner's driver, it will be hard to find way in Korea but you could find way easily in U.S.A.
Look my case, i enjoyed using public transportation in my country. Not only me but also every my country people use every ways of transportation, Subway,Bus,Taxi,Own car, Train. Almost every Koreans time of movement that more from their home to office is not over one hour. That's absolutely right. Its true make very annoying me. Because, I doesn't have a car now. So, if I want to go somewhere, I have to get a bus or someone have to ride me. It's like a person who don't have legs in California. Waiting for bus make me exhausted and loose my value time. In Korea, I didn't have think about this situation. Until now, my parent couldn't understand my situation. hahahahahaha :( As soon as possible I want to take a drive license. I already passed writing test and now driving test is waiting for me. When I get a own my drive license I'll let me know you.
I've commented on blog of Lesily, Jamie, and Prissy.
