Jeju Dolharbang Park, '제주 돌하르방 공원'

I went to a nice park called 'Dolharbang Park' and we enjoyed seeing various shapes of Dolharbangs. Jejudo is the largest island made by volcanic activity in Korea so we can easily see basalt. Dolharbangs are also made of the basalt. 'Dol' means 'Stone' and 'Harbang' means 'Grandfather'. The stones all look like grandfathers so we call them 'Dolharbang'. According to an old document, 260 years ago, the word of Dolharbang was appeared and it was known as patron saints of each village in Jeju. These days, some Dolharbangs are made in various poses so they are so cute. I posted my video of Dolharbangs on Youtube. Have a nice day!**** 저는 돌하르방공원에 가서 여러 모양의 돌하르방들을 구경했어요. 제주도는 한국에서 화산활동으로 만들어진 가장 큰 섬이에요. 그래서 쉽게 현무암을 볼 수 있어요. 돌하르방 또한 현무암으로 만들어졌어요. ‘돌’은 ‘Stone'이고 '하르방'은 'Grandfather'를 의미해요. 그 돌하르방 모두 할아버지를 닮아서 ‘돌하르방’이라고 불러요. 문헌에 따르면 260년 전에 ‘돌하르방’이란 말이 기록되어 있는데, 제주에서 각 마을의 수호신으로 알려져 있어요. 요즘에는 돌하르방들이 다양한 모습으로 만들어져서 무척 귀여워요. 제가 유튜브에 돌하르방 비디오를 올렸어요. 즐거운 하루 보내세요. **** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fidW--1WUM8

It snowed a lot last weekend.

It snowed a lot last weekend. The next day many schools and kindergartens were closed so I didn't go to work. It is rare to see lots of snow in Jeju city except county sides in the winter.This winter it snowed a lot and the temparature fell to four degrees below zero so the water pipes of lots of houeses were frozen and even some areas had no power. The water pipe in my house has also frozen so my family and I had a hard time for a few days. Fortunately last Monday afternoon we could use the water. If it didn't start working again, We would have gone to my parents' house. The next day in the morning, on the way to work I was worried about the slippery road. But the snow has quickly melted by the warm weather. Now it is raining, instead of the snow!

'The Great Battle, Ansi Castle', 영화 '안시성'

Today I watched the nice movie, 'The Great Battle, Ansi Castle'. 1400 years ago, The Korean Peninsula was divided into three nations; Goguryeo. Baekje and Silla. At the time, China King, Lee Se min invaded Goguryeo and captured some castles in Goguryeo. When Lee Se Min invaded 'Ansi Castle', the lord of the Ansi castle was Yang Man Chun. Yang Man chun had only 5000 soldiers compared to Lee Se Min's 200 thousand soldiers. Before the battle, Yang Man Chun called on his soldiers and people; We didn't learn how to retreat, to bend our knees and to yield. Fight to defend our family and our nation by sacrificing ourselves!' The fierce battle lasted for 88 days long! Finally Yang Man Chun overcame the enemy and won the battle. Nowadays the battle at Ansi recognized to be one of the greatest in history. When watching the movie, I was proud having such brave ancestors. 오늘 영화 ‘안시성’을 봤다. 1400년 전 한국은 고구려, 백제, 신라로 3개의 나라로 나뉘어 있었다. 그때 당태종 이세민이 고구려를 침략했고, 고구려의 여러 성이 함락되었...

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 Engl...
