Post #4 - Going to Extremes:Sports and Obsession

     When I quitted my job, I went to the Halla-moutain in Je-Ju, Korea. The Halla-mountain is the highest mountain in South Korea. I wanted to achieve for the climbing. Also, I wanted to focus on me. Climbing time took for 12 hours! (I started at about 6 a.m. I finished at about 6 p.m.) It was very hard for me. I got out of breathe walking up the mountain. When I climbed the mountain, sometimes, I wanted to give up because the mountain grew steeper as I climbed higher, my legs were trembling, I was spent up. so I needed concentration myself for long time as time goes by. The more closed to top of the mountain,  I got obsessed because of my mind that I shouldn't give up. I saw that many people who climbed gave up. I hesitated. I thought that maybe it's first time and last time. It may beneficial on me, so I didn't give up. When I went to the top of the mountain, it was awesome ! Actually, it was cold, tired and painful, but I felt a sense of accomplishment. After climbing, I got fatigue for long time, but I didn't regret. It left to my first extrem sports and good memory.

Post #3. Fraud

     Oneday, I went to Daehangno in Korea. It's famouse for play, but usually, when I go to Daehangno, I just meet friends, talking and eating. When I've walked the street, a man asked me that "Do you want to see movies or plays?", so I thought that just ignore it, but he followed me. And then continuously, "If you buy this card, you can see many famouse movies and plays for 50% off price everywhere !", actually, it was very interesting, so I stoped my walking and answered, "really?" I think that it was stupid. Anyway, he said, you just pay for 10 dollars, so I thought that "only 10 dollars? it's awsome!", so I bought the card. when I went back home, card web site is real, but movies and plays weren't interesting because it was old. Also, some movies and plays didn't discount. I thought that it is fraud. I begrudged the money!

Post #2. Advertising

     I agree that somecountries have laws that forbid ad campaigns for tabacco. In Korea, tabacco advertising campaigns forbid, but alcohol ad campaigns is legal. Tabacco is so bad for healthy. Especially, it is so bad for lung. Now, cancer of the lungs is increasing. I think that reason why tabacco. Tabacco is a kind of drug, so tabacco ads may give rise to serious trouble for people. In Korea, high school students can't smoke and drink until they become 20 years old, it's law, but if we don't have laws that forbid ad for tabacco, many young students may want to smoke when they become a adult. They don't have enough discernment so goverment should forbid ads for tabacco. Since I was a child, I've seen TV and ads campaigns that tabacco is bad for child, pregnant woman and lung. Every year, many people decide to stop smoking so in January, tabacco of sales decrease, interesting is that tabacco of sales increase again day by day. I think that many people want to stop smoking, but nonsmoking is difficult because it's drug. And alcohol, too, but I don't know why allow the alcohol TV commercials. Usually, it is traditional alcohols and beers. Many Korean like So-Ju. It's similar Vodkas.  I think many Korean like alcohol, karaoke and talking. Therefore, I agree that forbid ad campaigns for tabacco. It's paradox though.  Anyway, So-Ju TV commercials appear beautiful women. This ads is that my favorit So-Ju ads.
