No fence...

I would like to recommend the campus of U.of I. to my friend. When I came here, buildings on the U. of I. campus were interesting to me. They didn't have any fence. That is the different part between Korean University and American University. For example, Korean Uni. have their own areas and boundaries by fence. Every building and place is enclosed by a boundary, Also, if anybody wants to visit through the entrance or gate, where they check all vehicles and visitors to admit in. On the other hand, American Uni. are mixed up with other buildings such as shops, houses, etc. I think that Korean Uni. is more authority than American Uni. but American Uni. is more friendly than Korean Uni. These differences might have both advantages and disadvantages. Also, if I tell my Korean friends this system, they certainly will be interested in this.

Grand Canyon..

Since I came here, I never been visited other place than Iowa in the America. So. I would like to write where I want to go later which are New York, California, Florida, etc... There are many nice place in the America. One of all, I really want to go is the Grand Canyon in Arizona which I knew long time ago. My friend said he could not belived what he saw and he felt like just a picture as it was a spectacluar scene. Why do I want to go there? I have a reason that I would like to get confidence from the great nature. I should prepare when I will face difficult situations in my life.

The pianist

When I think about my favorite movie, many movie come into my mind. One of all, I would like to talk about " The pianist" by Roman Polanski in 2002. This movie expressed a pitiful sight of the war and a peace by natural human susceptibility at the same time. This movie is about a great polish pianist, who is indifferent to war, in world war II. Although he lived painfully by war, he never gave up the passion of playing piano. His performance gave people, who were tired a war, a desire. I remembered the highlight scene that Szpilman, who is main character in the movie, played a piano at the risk of his death on the battlefield as commander of enemy troops ordered. And then, they could feel the peace of mind without aimed gun each others during the playing. That means the end of war. Szpilman continued to live until 2000. Above all, I could enter into their feeling, and deeply impressed by that scene. It was real story as well as nominated many awords. I really want to recommend you this movie.

I cannot breathe easy yet..

Many good people had given me to advice since I was younger. I can't remember, of course, all thing from the beginning. However, my life should be helped from people, who gived some advices, such as parents, professors, friends.
I remember, Last summer , when I attended to architecture workshop, one of the tutors said, " You are the best swimmer in Han-river, but somebody is trying to swim in the Pasific." Everyone had praised me and my duties at that time. So, I was confident of my ability in all my work. Probably, I might thought to highly of myself. I was shocked by his advice. So I decided to start all over again. It is the one of the reasons why I came in U.S. I got the advice to deep imperssion on my mind all the time. I cannot breathe easy yet!
