Two Music


Song - I like to listen to the music. Especially, I really like to imagine the situation the music’s lyric and rhythm made. Since I was born, I have listened Korean song, English pop song, Japanese song, Chinese song, Arabian song, Thai song, and etc. These days I like to listen to the Thai song because my roommate is from Thailand. She always introduces new music to me. Most of the songs that she introduced me are rock music. Rock music is famous in Thailand. I think Thai music and Korean music is almost same, but the sounds of how singer sing is a little bit different. Most of Korean musicians sing a song like make at the end of lyric longer than normal pronunciation, but Thai musicians sing at the end of the lyric a little bit shorter. I think because of sound of Thai language. They have lots of ‘ng’ sounds. The pronunciation of ‘ng’ makes song sounds shorter. I don’t mean that Thai song doesn’t sound pretty. So far that I listen Thai music I have thought that way. I like the Thai way to sing because the sounds are different from the song that I used to listen in Korea. I like it. That’s what I think Thai music and Korean music are different.

Being honest, I haven't read lots of books because I am the person who like to see visual thing and learn from that. Even though I have very short knowledge of books, I want to say about Korean books and American books. First, I want to talk about book how they look. Korean novels, memoirs, and etc are really colorful, big, and heavy, but most of American books are simple design and small. I like American books the way they are small because it's not presuure to carry everywhere. The other difference between Korean books and American books is numbers of one word. The numbers of the word of yellow are an example that shows what I want to say. In Korean, the word of yellow can divide into at least four different words. Of course, the feeling of those words is different. I think this is really interesting, isn't it? I am not sure of American novels because I am not native speakers. I think if we want to understand books which are from different countries exactly, we need to understand culture first, don't we?

different clothes



There are lots of clothes in this world. I think the more people bcome various, the more slothes become various. Last summer, I went back to my country and when I came back to the U.S.A, I brought some clothes from Korea. I definitely remembered that I was never ever shy with my shining cloth in Korea when I wear, but I am really shy with shining cloth in the United States. there are lots of shining slothes in Korea, but if I wear here, I feel weird. Also, there is other different thing. There are many different kinds of dresses which can wear everywhere in U.S.A, but it's not normal to wear dress as a casual look in Korea. I like American way that they don't very care what people wear outside.
