What do I like to do in spare time

I always do something even in free time, I can't stop do something.

It is really interesting about all countries have different even close countries.

When free time, I usually watch Netflix and YouTube.
I subscribe youtubers who introduce a video of foreign.
Even though someone different me, so I can understand and respect them.

I want to travel Spain. Especially I hope to travel Barcelona.

Actually, I had been traveled Barcelona. There are three reasons why I want to travel one more time.

The first one is Sagrada Familia Cathedral. It is been built for a lone time, but it is not finish yet. People said that finishes after 2026.
So I want to travel after 2026.

The second one is friendly community. When I traveled Barcelona, I fell down on the road. Most Spanish people tried to help me. They really worried about me. And when I did not know how to go what I wanted to go, some people took me the place.

The last one is food. I love Spanish food. Especially tapas, paella, and churros.
I did not like eggplant dishes until I tried them at a tapas bar. I love churros.

So after 2026 I am going to Barcelona, I hope to hang out with Spanish, eat Spanish dishes like churros, and visit Sagrada Familia Cathedral.

The day of going to Austin

When I was a student, I was not good at English. So I did not like English classes.
English classes taught in schools in Korea are more academic, study for the test and not daily conversation.
I had a hard time feeling interested.
After I graduated school, I wanted to try something I was not good at.
I thought one of them was English. after that I wanted to go abroad for studying for English.

I planned to go to US when I was a college student. But I cannot go to US because of COVID.
I was looking forward to go abroad always even I got a job and it was hard time for me.
Recently, I was finally able to go!
I was so happy to come Austin and something I had been looking forward to for a long time ago became a realize.
The day of going Austin was a my happiest memory for me!

Sep 18 / Bring three things in desert / 15min / 147 words

I do not like deserts but if I have to go to deserts I will bring three things.
The first one is water. Water is one of basic necessities and people have to drink for surviving.
In fact, if people did not drink water during seven days, they will get disease or even they will die.
The second one is chocolate. Chocolate is good for maintaining energy or gaining in a flash.
So I think I have to bring some of chocolate. The last one is someone who a really famous.
If I will take a famous person like Sam smith or Lady gaga, everyone will find a famous person and even me.
I think it is important to survive even I have to go jail or punishment.
In sum, I will have to go desert island, I bring water, chocolate, and someone who a really famous.

If I can get superpower, I want to get a teleportation ability.

In fact, flight tickets are so expensive and account for a lot of travel expenses.
And one of best benefits is I can go to anywhere whenever I want to go.
In additional, it makes me to live whenever I want to live. One week I can live in Paris and the other weeks Seoul even anywhere.

Oct 15/ Living Their Own/ 30min/ 261 words

Living Their Own

In Korea, many young adults live with their parents. It is big issue in Korea. They have to live their own but they do not care about this situation. They think they do not need independence also they think they can save more money. Even their parents think too. I kind of agree but I believe it is bad for their own life. There are 3 reasons and those are indenpendence, social life, and managing their life.

The first reason for my opinion is independence. People should independence.They cannot live with parents whole life.

They have to learn how to do alone. If young adults live with their parents, they are not easy to learn how to do alone like paying utilities, managing financial.

The second reason for my opinion is social life. When they live with their parents, it is not easy to invite their friends whenever they want. Also they have to follow their parents' rules and then it is difficult to have a social life. If they live alone, they can invite their firends and also they can hang out midnight whenever they want.

The main reason for my opinion is managing their life. They should do whatever their own and it is really hard but necessary thing. They should do laundry, wash dishes, and clean floor their own. They can make their house rules, they follow their rules. It is good for developing their confidence.

In conclusion, I believe young adults live theirselves. The reasons are developing independence, active social life, controling their life.

Nov 6/ The Living of Korean Students / 30min/ 225 words

gpwnd8007 — 2023-11-06 07:22:59 UTC

Usually, Koreans are known to have a hard life, especially students.

Would you like to know if it is true? My answer is yes or no. Because high school students live a truly hard life, almost all Korean students try to study hard and apply to universities. But college students differ.

One of the main differences between high school students and college students is responsibility.

High school students do not have responsibilities besides studying. They just study or hang out with their friends. They do not need to work part-time jobs. Their parents care for their life including allowance. On the other hand, college students have a lot of responsibilities. These include many things like monthly rent, earning allowance, college marks even daily life. They can choose everything as adults. They must be responsible for their own choices. If they do not do their internship, they have to be responsible for their short resume.

The second of the main differences between high school students and college students is spending time. High school students have no choice in their life. They have to study hard and prepare for tests. So, they usually spend time at their school or hagwon(It is a Korean private educational course). However, college students do not need to hard study. They can drink alcohol, and go to the PC room at 12 am. They have flexible time.

Nov 27/ Fantastic break/ 20min/ 245 words

2023-11-27 15:43:15 UTC

It was a fantastic break and I did a lot of things in the break. I want to talk about my first Thanksgiving day. I was saying goodbye, relaxing, and meeting my cousin.

One of the things in the break was saying goodbye to my Japanese friends. I went to their dormitory and helped pack their baggage. Also, we took a lot of pictures and went to the airport together. I was really sad and I did not want to say goodbye. I think we needed more time to spend time for hanging out. But I knew that they had to go. We made a Snapchat ID and we talk a lot still now.

Another of the things in the break was relaxing. I got a cold in the break. I think I felt tired and wore cold clothes before the break. I wanted to relax the whole day and I did it. I just laid down in bed few days.

The last of the things in the break was meeting my cousins and friends. Usually, I could not meet her because she lives in Dallas. I went to Dallas to meet her and we ate mara soup and drank boba tea. It was really good for me.

I did a lot of things in the break. Those were saying goodbye, healing, and went to Dallas. I had a good time in the break. The best thing is healing a whole day in my bed.
