The elevator stopped working! 엘리베이터가 멈췄어요!

Mar 16, 2022 I live on the 6th floor of a 28 year-old apartment. A few years ago, the residents discussed replacing the old elevator with a new one. So we have been saving money (for a replacement) since then. But last week the elevator stopped working and it will take 10 days to replace the part. While it is being repaired we can't use it. It is hard to climb 6 floors (of stairs) after work. usually go home on foot after work. Often when I arrived at home, I realized that I couldn't use the elevator. Then I felt more tired. It's interesting that after a few days my health is improving. At first, when I climbed the stairs I felt very tired and I had to rest at 5 floors, but now I can climb the stairs until the 6th floor without rest. 저는 28년 된 6층 아파트에 살고 있어요 몇 년 전, 모든 주민들은 낡은 엘리베이터를 새 엘리베이터로 교체하는 것에 대해 논의했어요. 그래서 우리는 그동안 돈을 모으고 있어요. 하지만 지난주에 엘리베이터가 작동을 멈췄고 부품을 교체하는데 열흘이 걸린대요. 수리기간동안 엘리베이터는 사용할 수 없어요. 퇴근 후 6층까지 계단 오르기는 힘들어요. 저는 보통 퇴근 후에 걸어서 집에 와요. 저는 종종 집에 도착한 후에 엘리베이터를 이용할 수 없다는 것을 깨달았어요. 그러면 더 피곤해져요. 몇일 지난 이후 재미있는 것은 제 건강이 좋아진다는 것이에요. 계단을 오를 때 처음에는 피곤해서 5층에서 쉬어야 했지만 지금은 6층까지 쉬지 않고 올라갈 수 있어요.

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...
