My hobbies, '취미'

Hi! My hobbies are practicing the piano, going camping, taking a trip, taking photographs and studying English. If the weather is fine on a weekend, I go camping with my family. The campground we usually go to is Moguri in Seongyoup. Eating outdoors is very delicious. Looking up at the stars at night is also a pleasure. Most of all, it is great to talk with my family. I like taking trips with my family. Jeju is a major tourist city. Every year they hole several festivals in Jeju, so we go there to have fun. I also take a lot of photos. I like taking photos. Although I don't have a very nice camera, I take photos and videos with my cellphone. On the weekend if the weather is bad, I stay home and practice the piano. 8 years ago, I studied how to play the piano at a piano institute for 3 months. Now I can play easy children songs. I want to play beautiful classical music someday. After work, I sometimes study English. I am forty six years old. Many people wonder why I study English. When I was a student, I hated studying English but now I like it. When I was a high school student, I really envied my friend for having pen pals with a foreign friend. At the time I thought that I couldn't make foreign friends. But now I have some foreign friends who I keep in touch. I think that the most attractive part of learning languages is increased ability to communicate thoughts and feelings with each other. I want to speak fluently with them in English someday. I don't regret that I didn't started studying English earlier, because I have started studying English now, and am walking down the street happily. **** What are your hobbies? 안녕하세요. 제 취미는 피아노 연습하기, 캥핑가기, 여행가기, 사진찍기, 영어공부하기예요. 주말에 날씨가 좋으면 가족들과 캠핑하러 가요. 주로 가는 야영장은 성읍에 있는 모구리 야영장이에요. 야외에서 먹는 식사는 꿀맛이에요. 밤에 하늘에 있는 별을 보는 것 또한 또 다른 즐거움이에요. 무엇보다도 가족들과 대화하는 시간이 많아져서 좋은 것 같아요. 저는 가족들과 여행하는 것을 좋아해요. 제주도는 관광도시라서 매년 여러 가지의 축제가 있어요. 그래서 가족들과 가서 재밌게 놀다가 와요. 물론 사진도 많이 찍어요. 저는 사진 찍는 것을 좋아해요. 좋은 카메라를 갖고 있지는 않지만 제 핸드폰으로 사진이나 동영상을 찍어요. 주말에 날씨가 나빠 집에 있는 날에는 피아노를 쳐요. 8년 전에 3개월 정도 학원에서 피아노 치는 것을 배웠는데 쉬운 어린이 동요를 몇 곡을 칠 수 있어요. 언젠가 아름다운 클래식을 연주하고 싶어요. 일이 끝나면 가끔 영어공부를 해요. 요즘은 영어학원에 다니기 때문에 특별히 더 많은 공부를 하지는 않아요. 저는 현재 46살인데 많은 사람들이 왜 제가 영어공부를 하는지 궁금해해요. 제가 학생일 때 영어공부를 아주 많이 싫어했지만 지금은 영어공부하는 것을 좋아해요. 제가 고등학생일 때 우리 반에 외국인 친구랑 펜팔을 하는 친구가 있었는데 정말 그 친구가 부러웠어요. 그 당시 저는 외국인 친구를 만들 수 없을 거라 생각했어요. 하지만 지금은 제게 메일을 서로 주고받는 외국인 친구들이 있어요. 서로의 생각과 감정을 교감할 수 있다는 것이 가장 큰 언어공부의 매력인 것 같아요. 언젠가 영어로 자연스럽게 그들과 얘기를 하고 싶어요. 저는 영어공부를 좀 더 일찍 하지 않은 것을 후회하지는 않아요. 왜냐하면 저는 이미 영어공부를 시작했고 그 길을 즐겁게 걸어가고 있기 때문이에요.여러분의 취미는 무엇이에요?

Korean Mask, Tal , '한국 탈!'

Image
There are various kinds of masks in Korea. Have you ever heard ‘탈’? “탈” means 'mask' in Korean. Let me introduce the Hahoe Tal in Andong city. The Hahoe Tal is the only set of masks designated as a national treasure (No.121). It is highly regarded highly as a masterpiece in the area of mask art as well as a Korean cultural asset. There were 14 masks in the Hahoe Tal : Two Jusi Tal, Gaksi Tal, Yangban Tal, Seonbi Tal, Jung Tal, Baekjeong Tal, Choraengi Tal, Halmi Tal, Imae Tal, Bune Tal, Chonggak Tal, Byeochae Tal and Ddeodari Tal. But Byeochae Tal, Ddeodari Tal and Chonggak Tal were lost and not handed down. Some of Hahoe Tal, Yangban Tal, Seonbi Tal, Jung Tal and Baekjeong Tal have a special function: they have movable lower jaws, while other masks don't For example, if a performer, wearing a mask, bends his head back, his mouth will open wide so that he looks like he is smiling. If he bends his head forward, his mouth will close so he looks angry. ................. 한국에는...

How to make Meju, '메주 만드는 법'

Image
Have you ever had Korean food? I think that most countries have their own special sauces to cook with. Korea also has special and traditional sauces like soy sauce (ganjang, 간장), soybean paste (doenjang, 된장), and red pepper paste (gochujang, 고추장). To make doenjang, gochujang, and ganjang, we have to make the blocks of fermented soybeans (Meju, 메주). When I was a child, I often saw my mom making them. But now I am used to buying the sauces, instead of making them! *How to make Meju, '메주'* ---------------- 1. Prepare yellow soybeans and keep them soaked in water for about 8 hours. 2. Boil yellow soybeans for about 6 hours. 3. Mash boiled yellow soybeans. 4. Put them into a box to make the block shape and press it well. 5. Put the Meju to in a room to dry for a few days. 6. Hang them for about a month under the eaves, or an airy place, to dry well

Even brushing past a person is one's karma. '옷깃만 스쳐도 인연'

There's an old saying that says even brushing past a person is one's karma. Buddhism says that it's very difficult to meet again in this life time if there isn't a special connection in a previous life. Haven't you ever come across a person by chance without making promises on the earth living billions of people? The unit of brushing past a person is 'Gup' this means the time from the beginning of the world to next beginning of the world. It takes 500gup to brush past a person. You and I must have had a special relationship and have taken at least 500gup to meet here........ 옛말에 ‘옷깃만 스쳐도 인연’이란 말이 있어요. 불가에서는 전생에 특별한 연이 없으면 현생에서 만나기 힘들다고 말해요. 수십억명이 살고 있는 이 지구상에 여러분은 약속을 하지 않았는데도 아주 우연히 마주친 사람은 없었나요? 옷깃이 스치는 인연은 ‘겁’이라는 단위로 설명하여 겁은 천지가 한번 개백하고 다음 개백이 시작할 때까지의 시간을 뜻해요. 옷깃이 한 번 스치는데 500겁의 시간이 걸려요. 부부는 7000겁, 부모 자식 간은 8000겁, 스승과 제자는 10,000겁. 저와 여러분의 관계도 적어도 500겁 이상의 인연이 쌓여 여기서 만났음이 틀림없네요..... * Husband and Wife - 7,000gup * Parents and Child - 8,000gup * Teac...
