Put your foot down
drag your feet
cross your finger
put your foot in your mouth , etc.

.
On internet, to be over and to come over have same meaning.
So can I talk that i will be over the shop after work or i will be over at the shope after work.
In NAVER dictionary, they say " i will be over at the shop".
So native speakers use the sentence in every day???
Thanks in advance.

Theseday i have changed my mind.
I think i just confused between what i want to be and what i'm good at.
If i found dream and i would be what i want to be so then, do you think i would be happy and satisfied with my job..
I was just confused in my last all years.
I thought there must be something spectial will happen soon but it turned out it was just my ideal and just daydream.
Even thoought i still have dreams.. Lots of dreams..
It means just i changed my point of view about dream.
I think people should seek out what they are good at and don't listen to other people but follow just their heart and experience as much as possible. So someday you will find a dream in your job.

I don't know what i will do in Seoul.
But i think i will spend some time with my sister and brother in Rottet world or some exciting places.
And I'd like to meet my lang-8 friends or make foreigner people in itaewon.
So i will want to spend my time with overseas friends if i can.
So is there anyone who stay in Seoul or near Seoul and catch up with me?

Wow.. it is good to travel during harf-term for me, but I will be able to go on a trip when I have enough money.
But I haven't made lots of money cause I have just worked for around 2 hours a day
that money is just for accomodation and food.
so How can I have a journey without money?
Is there someone who can give me a lift to Melbourne or Sydney?
haha. that's impossible.
Anyway I will think about how I will spend the rest time of my holidays in Australia.

I do use left-hand instead of right not as people do
So i feel pain on my left shoulder much than the other side.
Since starting my job, i have done a shoulder-execise for over 10 minutes everyday.
I think this is good for my shoulder cause i feel pain much less.
Anyway i think studying at desk is the easiest way to be success.

That made me lying to somebody that i can work until next year. Somehow this is not lying anyway i will work until the next year january.
I need money for accomodation and food.
So these days i clean a pub in city. I start my work early in the morning.
The cleaning is not that hard but it's hard to wake up early morning.
The job is not pay-well and the way to learn english. But i learnt a lesson for life.

I used to have local food in Bali.
I did snorkeling, water-skiing, parasailing and learnt surfing at Nusa beach.
I have visited many famous cities in Bali and I've been to Lombok and Gili island where are famous for snorkeling and scuba diving.
It was so much fun and I hope I will go there again to do more surfing!

Jeju island is much warmer than other cities in Korea.

Mt. Hanra is a dormant volcano in Jeju island.

한라봉 is similar to oranges.

I've had it twice until now because it's a little expensive. ^^;

Wwoofers usually work and stay with them for about 5housr a day and Host provide wwoofers with room and food. (of cousre, they don't have to give or get money.)

That's becasue she went to see a Korean singer concert without saying nothing to her husband.
So the man argued with his wife.
But he lost control of himself and he squeezed her throat to kill her.
Fortunately, it had ended in a murder attempt.
About this, some Japanese are criticizing Korea Wave.
They say that Korea Wave is responsible for the case and Korean Wave is destroying Japanese women...
I'm worried about this..
I think that it can be a serious problem in a few years.
Korean Wave is growing and the problems about Korea Wave are also becoming serious.
What should Korean do about that??

Let me show you unbelievable pictures
When I first saw these pictures , I thougt that they maybe were tigers or leopards.
However, they were cats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was quite surprising.!
I think that the cats probably don't like to exercise for their health.
They look like cartoon characters.
I think they look more friendly when they are bigger than original cats
You can compare the baby with the cat in the fist picture.
I think they have one thing in common
they were cute and chubby!
Anyways, I like these pets. they are so cute.!

When they speak to you "You're welcome", they might be staff of shops.
Hovever most Koreans have learned to reply "you're welcome" when someone thank you for your help.
The book said that native speakers usually say "you bet, not at all, sure, no sweat, and no problem."

I guess that I'm not a native speaker so there are many differences from native speakers
How do I study to learn real English?
I think that I need to watch American soap opera.

In korea, there are many different kinds of ghosts.
Koreans group them as how they died and how old they are like
If a young woman was killed on a false charge, they often appeared at somone who killed her, at midnight.
this ghost is called "처녀귀신"

If someone died because she or he had drown, they are called "water ghost"
When people are swimming in the water, water ghost maybe pull you into the deep water.

and I think the scarest ghost in Korea is "저승사자"
"저승사자" is not a ghost.
he is just the death of angel.
If you dream of "저승사자", It probably means you will die soon.
Are you frightened?
Don't worry about it.
they are things Koreans imagined a long time ago.!

If you glance at this picture, you think a man is wearing a pair of sunglasses.
He looks like a criminal, does he?!
(All the sunglasses and long beard are his hair!)
However this picture is an optical illusion!
That is back of his head that looks like his face.
There are many different kinds of optical illusions.
They are so surprising and interesting!
What your eyes see and what your brain think are actually different.
If you take advatages of optical illusions, you can look much more slim and your faces can look younger!
