#3 : Different vacation

Blog 3 : Different vacation

             Most People and student in Korea go on a vocation. Through it, they take a rest or make a schedule in order to improve their goal. However, there are two different types of vocation: vacation and break. I used to go on a vacation and have summer and winter break. First, vacation means worker’s vacation. As you know, most of the workers in Korea work so hard and hard. According to OECD, Korea is the top country about working time in the world. Therefore, every summer they go on a vacation per year. Even though there are some vacations, summer vacation can use all of them. For example, before I came here, I used work for Institute of Aging Society as research fellow. When I got a summer vacation, my husband and I went to Jeju Island. Through summer vacation, we could take a rest and after vacation, we could work well. Second, instead of summer vacation, most students have summer and winter break. It is distinguished vacation. Though break also take a rest, through it many students make a plan in order to study. For instance, as you know, English is important language in the world. In order to get job, we have to speak well, as well as, we have to get TOEIC or TOEFL scores. Due to getting it, many student study during summer or winter break. For this reason, vacation and break is not similar. However, because of both of them give us relaxing and achievement of goal, we are happy to go on a vacation and get summer and winter break.

#2. My favorite restaurant makes healthy food.

      My favorite restaurant, for several reasons is Dulpul which is located in Seoul, Korea.
First of all, Dulpul uses a specially made seasoning in their food.  For example, when all the food is made, instead of salt and sugar, natural materials are more palatable than general foods.  When I had this food, I always felt that my body is healthier.  Second, Dulpul has many different types of foods.  For instance, when I used to work for Korean Women’s Development Institute, I had important conferences.  Because of many different types of foods, after finishing the conference, many people could choose from this menu.  Finally, if you go there, you can have delicious Korean food and listen to Korean music.  Dulpul is a restaurant which is known for its food, such as Hanjeongsik[1], Japchae, and Hwangtae-gui.  However, as well as theses foods, Korean traditional music always contains for all visitors.  In order to take a rest, food and music are very important factors, such as Korean folk songs.  Indeed, Dulpul is wonderful restaurant to go if you visit Korea. I would like to recommend this place.

My favorite place on campus.

      Watson Library is my favorite place for several reasons. First, it gives me more information about books, journals, and articles. For example, my major is Gerontology. In order to write article, I have to search various journals and articles. I can search it through Watson Library. Also, it serves free articles. Second, I can use more comfortable computer than other place. For instance, sometimes, I use my laptop in Kansas Union. Surfing the Internet in the KU, it is so difficult for me because it takes a long time. However, the library has a lot of computers, and it does not take a long time. Finally, it is cool in the summer. When I went there, it always gave me cool place because of air conditioner. Even though it was so hot and humid, I can feel more cool and fresh. Indeed, Watson Library is a wonderful place to study with comfortable reasons. Indeed, Watson Library is a wonderful place to study with comfortable reasons.
