Hi~! I’m Ryan. Nice to meet you, Mr. Constantine!
I was good to class, today.

What do you like to play sports?

I like to play sports. Especially, I like to play the basketball with my friends.
I usually played the basketball in my university basketball court.
When I got some stresses to study my major, I played it.
And I was dripping with sweat a lot. Then I removed my stresses.
It feels very wonderful. It is a reason for play the basketball.

I know that popular sports of America are a football.
It is a best popular sport.
The football isn’t simple sport to American.
It is a culture to get together ambition and usual faith of American.
However, Korean doesn’t know football well.
Therefore they aren’t interesting to football. Above all, football team doesn’t exist.
If Korean wants to watch the football game, they have to watch America’s football game.
But this is a very difficult. Because of they find it in person.
I think that it is a cultural difference.

My favorite sport is Soccer[Jun]

I think best of best sport is soccer in Korea. And I think so.
But in U.S.A, soccer is less than in Korea.
Because I mean that American contact different sports more than soccer.
I experienced different sports population.
First, when I gathered survey which know something in Korea, I asked American to “ Do you know World Cup in Korea and Japan?”.
So most of people answered me “NO”. I was surprising. Because I thought that all of the world know World Cup and Olympic. But my expectation is wrong.
Second, when I was going to the restaurant yesterday, I watched the TV for a while.
TV program was viewing sports in live. However, 3~4 program in TV didn’t view Soccer. And American was interesting football and baseball. So I also was surprising.
Finally, I sometimes saw newspaper. Article was viewing ranking of the salary sports star.
So top of the ranker is baseball and football and auto racer, golf player and so on.
But I’m hard to search soccer player in top of the ranking.
And then I heard to best of the expensive advertisement fee held superball.
So I guess “maybe two country is different to population sports. Because different culture and personality.”

my favorite sports

I like all kinds of sports but I'm just like to watch games because i'm not good play sports well.
I like watching soccer games on TV. maybe I think soccer is more interesting than baseball in my case. I great fan of the David Robert Joseph Beckham. I'm really like him.
Also, Korea have a very popular spccer player. He name is Ji-seoung Park in Manchester United FC. I feel good so much so that can not compare with what if score goal.
Because of such interest and charm, I like soccer.
And because soccer awareness is high so much because it is universal sports and there are many dying injunction soccer stars, it is sports that interest is more and more.
Admires seeing splendid game of well-known players and watches the business conditions and feels satisfaction. These are the reasons, I like soccer.

Hello~!

My favorite sports is jogging. As I run and walk I can see many beautiful scenes. In addition I can chat with my friends. Chatting and walking is my favorite stress method. So I like jogging. When my stomach ache was happen, I take care of not pill but walking.

Today I will also jogging with my friends. I will expect exercising time.

HI~ My favorit sport is volleyball

Hello~
I think Americans and Koreans like the sports.
Most of Americans like the football. However in Korea football is not a famous sport. Most of Koreans think that football is violence. I din’t watch the game on TV in Korea. I like the volleyball. I think volleyball players are handsome.

My favorit player is Yo Han Kim. They are really tall. I think volleyball is more interesting than baseball. Of course baseball also is interesting, but the game is too long.
I watch the sports on the TV.
The volleyball season is December.
I always watch the volleyball game at winter. Korea's winter sport is basketball and volleyball. I also like the basketball. I think NBA players are really awesome, because they can show the various technique. If I get a chance I want to watch the NBA game at the play feild. I like the ball game sport. Sometimes I watch the K-1, Pride and UFC. First time I could not understand the game. However now I watch the game.
Actually most of girls lilke the shopping more than sport. So do I.

My name is jamie,AhYoung Kim

My favorite sport is baseball. My Father and mother love baseball. So I like too.
When I was young, I often went to baseball stadium. I always support Samsung, because my father was Samsung fan. Originally, I sometimes I hate a baseball because my father watch the baseball game all day.
At that time I don’t know baseball rule but now I know it very well so I could enjoy it.
At the last class I heard that baseball is most popular sport in USA. USA baseball league is very well.
So many Korean baseball players want to play at USA.
For example, ChanHo Park is popular in USA baseball league.
When I saw him at the TV program, I surprised because he threw the ball very fast and accurate.
I think he is great. In my opinion, Korean baseball league is developed well now.
Korean team already gets good result at the Olympic and world baseball classic.
In the future, I hope that Korean baseball team will win at the world baseball league.
When I come back to Korea, I really want to go to the baseball stadium to watch the game.
It will be very nice. I’m sure that. Thank you for reading!! Have a nice day :D

compare to America and Korea.

I want to compare to America and Korea sports.

So, I want to ask someone to know about that. Actually I don’t know how are the most popular games in Korea and America? But during class today, I learned about these things.

First Korea people like to watch baseball. But Korea people don’t join the game. Just they want to watch the game in stadium. Because when they go to the stadium,

They can feel good atmosphere which can consist of beer and some food that are chicken and pizza, other Korea foods.

So which games do you join in someplace? Most Korea people join the game which is soccer and basketball. Most Korea people join the soccer and basketball when they have a rest in holydays and weekends. Even in the morning early, they used to play soccer in the field. So if someone ask to some questions “So which games do you join in someplace?” you can answer that is soccer and basketball.

Second let you know what is the most popular sports game in America?

Actually most America people love to watch the football that is most popular game in America. But I think that America people don’t join the game. They just want to watch the game. Because it is hard to play someplace as well as anyone who can’t play this game and can’t join this game.

The Badminton

My favorite sport is the badminton.
Because I can’t play difficult sports well. For example, swimming and basketball and so on. The badminton is very simple.

I can enjoy this sport anywhere and anytime. It is not need special sport field. It can enjoy small space. So, I can play in front of my house or the park.

Also, it is not need many people. I can play badminton just 2 or 4 people. So, when I have some free time, I enjoy this sport with my friends and family.

I think the badminton is very popular sport in America too, but I knew that it is not true. I think badminton is very exciting for everyone. So, I want that American enjoy this sport too.

My favorite sports...

Hi^^ good afternoon. My name is Jenny.

One of my favorite sports is badminton.

When I was high school student, I learned to play badminton. I organized a team with my friend, and we had a match other teams. My friend was good at play the badminton, so we won the victory. That time, I am really happy.

After high school student, I occasionally play the badminton with my friend or family. I think that this sport is good to make friendship. But bad thing is that it can’t play alone.

But I really like this sport!!!! Thank you

MLB

I like baseball. However, It is just looking.
I think that baseball is very exciting exercise.
Anyone who is interested in baseball is interested in the MLB.
The Korean baseball fans like the MLB even though they have their own baseball league.
Why?
First of all, it is amazing to see some great pitchers who can throw a ball as over 100mile/h.
There are so many pitchers who can throw like that. However, only 2 or 3 pitchers can throw like that in Korea.
Secondly, many of Korean baseball players sign up with the MLB teams. We can analyze this in two ways. First, the Koreans cheer them to watch. Second, it's harder to see good players in the KBL.
Lastly, Korean TV network system has a problem. Some broadcasting stations stop broadcasting baseball games before the game ends. They decide the broadcast schedule.
In conclusion, the popularity of MLB has good reasons that great play and excellent player from all over the world.

Badminton

I like badminton because I can play badminton wherever.
I played badminton afternoon when I am a high school student.
It is good for my diet. Korean student always study they have no exercise time.
So we played badminton our break time.
It promoted our friendship and health.
Now, I play badminton in front of my house after I eat dinner.
I play badminton with my boyfriend. We often make a wager.
Who do obtain score 20. It is really fun.
My boyfriend often on purpose loses because of make happy to me.
He is good boyfriend.

I think that America and Korea similar play badminton
but America has many net and wild spaces.
I often played badminton in parking lot.
It is very dangerous but we don't have many court.
Korea should have many courts because badminton is general sport.
Many people play badminton for their health.
It is important to keep own health.

I felt....

I felt comfortable and relax.
I like meditation.
When I get stressed, I sometimes have a relaxing time.
After that I feel better.
The music was so calm, and woman’s voice also very slow and calm.
During the meditation I felt a sleep, so I cannot hear the contents well.
It is like sleeping song to me.
At the end of it, I felt nervous because she advertised the website.
I think that it is act to break the relaxed mind.


- Gemma -

my feeling

when i meditated, i felt comfortable and relaxed. at first, piano sounds make me so sad. i thought my happy or sad memory. i thought all of memory(happy or sad or angry and so on) are good, they can't come back to me. so i felt sad. and then, i felt confidence and strong. i thought shimmery future. before i meditated, i really worried about my future. but, when i have a meditation, i can have confidence in my life. i can make success, happy and enjoy my life.
lastly, i thought my memory was good things, and i can make my life by myself.

good meditation :)

Long time ago, i heard that meditation is good for health and reducing stress.
but i never have been to mediate so far. so today, it is first time to meditation.
when meditation's music started, i felt comfortable and peaceful. and my heart is calm down.
and then i thought my mother's face. but after few minutes, i felt more and more sleep.....T.T
so after all, i slept...
because women's voice of narration is very slow and low sound.
it looks like the song that my mother sang a song at night when i was childhood.

if i have a chace to listen meditation's song again, i try to do meditation with yoga :)

My feeling

When I was high school student, I did similar this experience. It is very calm and peaceful. This reminds me when I take a picnic with my family. This experience make me happy but little gloom . Because It is make me reminds my home town. However, I can get a self-confidence and peaceful mind through this. It remove bad thinks from my mind so I can think more beautiful and peaceful thinking.

Meditation

I actually hadn't listened to this relxation mp3 before. I did a different one in my ENG 103 class. I tried this one out because it was entitled "The Perfect Day" and I thought it would be a visualization of a nice day.

I felt very relaxed at the beginning of the relaxation exercise. I lay down and let all my worries go. I released the tension from my body and just let the music wash over me.

But when the meditation turned into matter sof money, I lost my meditative state. I didn't like it when she said stuff like, "I am a money magnet." You shouldn't worry about material things when you meditate. I thought the relaxation exercise turned into shallow "The Secret"-type positive thinking. And I really didn't like it when, at the end, she gave an advertisement for the meditation website.

For future relaxation writing exercises, I would like to find a mp3 that is voiced by an American because I find the British accent distracting. I'll have to listen to more to find one that isn't focused on money.

Realization

When I lived Korea, I red a book which was written by a monk.
He said that "Life always exist with the death. Sometimes people don't realize the death, so today is the last day you can survive."
It was very touch to me, because I was young, so I can't think about the death.

I believe that everybody can be happy. Happiness is our purpose to the life.
Make happiness is very difficult, because many people frustrated by themselves.
When I listen the meditation, I can feel the comfortableness. And I think my couple of days. I was very gloomy and sad. I tried to recover it. I think many people suffered the sadness, shadowy and cheerless. Making happiness is up to ourself.

The meditation said you are special person. You are winner. If you touch somethings it would change the gold. So making happiness is made by yourself.
While I listened the meditation, I thought a lot of things. Of course the meditation make me calm and well, I thought about the philosophical things.
Like death, happiness, feelings and self-confidence.

I felt something

I felt a lot of things. After hearing about this story, I felt comfortable and asleep.

And sometimes I felt I am flying on the sky like a bird. As well as I am walking on the

cloud. It is very new experience to me.

And I want to think myself again. Because of through this story I thought me again.

I can ask to me myself. Example, who am I.? What do I do something? Are you proud of

you? I can’t answer about this right now, but after finishing this story, I will be like God just for

me.

Meditation

It is very good.
I don't have ever been meditation.
By meditating, I feel calm down.
I'm realexing.
When I'm in home alone, if I do that, It is good for health to meditate.
I can do it easily. So I think that it is useful.
I recommend it for everyone.
However, if you are so tired, you should better do that later.
If not, you are likely to fall into a sleep.

My feeling~!!

Hi~! I'm Ryan.

Now my feeling is very good! This meditation sound is good for my feeling. I am feeling to be recharging. I'm getting some power and confidence. I can do anything. And now my mind is concentration to something. I have heard this like meditation. When I was tired, I heard that. Then I was recharged. Thesedays I was too tired. I thank that I heard this meditation.

The woman's voice is comfortable and silence. And music was very nice.
When I heard that, my mind get rest and feel better. This atmosphere is calm and restfulness.
But.. If I hear long time, I feel sleepy. ^^
I want to hear everyday night before sleeping.

feeling

feeling

I'm missing my bed[Jun]

Nowdays, I always tired. Because I don't know why I feel tired.
Today, you recommend me a voice which is cleaning and correctness.
When I listen to the comfortable voice, my feeling is suddenly similar to my home.
So I snooze for a while. This voice is reminded me of my high school life.
I was almost listening to a voice. I listened to a voice before my class.
I almost snoozed.

sirent ^^

My heart heard silent sound. My mind calm and i want to se the peace. In my meditation i will go to the vacation. in there blue wave come to me. I walk along the beach more and more. That place i want to like fish. So i saw beutiful ocean. Um um that is short meditaion.






Today is last class of asulles`s class. In my head the memory pass like film. Thank you.

Meditation Time

This time is very good for me. I listen to the sound. I felt calmness and peaceful.
I was empty of my think. I closed my eyes and i laid on the desk.
I sleep undisturbed soon. It seem to that I have a placidity.

feel so good

Now, I feel so very comfortable and safe. This is very helpful for my mind.
Also, I'm really like this music because, this music is so beautiful and sweet.
So, I think I'm regain my sense of security from this sound.
Often, I will try this for me.

meditation Time!

It's very good. I laid on the bottom of class.
someone said to us.. and then she said"close your eyes"
I closed my eyes and then meditation time was started.
There are comfortable music and beautiful voice.
And then my mind is gain a peaceful. lol
After few minute, I fall in to sleep..
So refresh^^

My feeling

It was very good. I felt comfortable. It just like dreaming. Also my mental will be clean. I haven't experienced it. So it was more good and fresh. But I am a little complex. Because I should try to understand. If it is Korean, I will be more comfortable. And if I heard it when I went to the bed, it will be so nice. So I will try it when I come back my home. Thank you.

about meditation

After I heard this sounds, I feel that my heart is being full. The voice of sounds is very sweet so It made me comportable. Also, I could imagine something about me. I think this meditation is good for my mental health. Because I feel comportable and peaceful during the meditation. For example, I feel something like that I'm on the green grass and breath fresh air. After hearing this meditation, I feel better than before.

my feeling.

I heard meditation with my eyes closed. And turn off light. I am buried in meditation. I think about something very carefully and deeply for 10 minuite. Meditation is the act of remaining in a silent and calm state. We have to hear meditation some times. Because we can think someting to remember when we hear meditation . My feeling is calm and comfortable. I received comfortable feel . Later, I'll always hear meditation.

meditation

It makes to feel comfortable. I closed my eyes and relax my body but I didn't sleep. I didn't think anything. It was a first time I feel comfortable in USA. I always have a tension and stress.
I have to relax my mind because I was hard while I was in USA. The background music makes me calm down. I really like this music. It was good for control my mind. It was nice experience.
I hope to often do that when I come back to Korea. Thank you :)

About culture shock in America

Hi~! I'm Ryan.


I never went to other country, so I don’t know other country culture. I don’t forget my memory in here at first. I want to feel many experiences and learn everything in America. However I don’t ignore different culture. It’s unavoidable. I have to admit it. By the way I’m going on one month to come in America. I know that American is kind. They are talk to strangers. They said “HELLO”, “HOW ARE YOU?” I didn’t understand it why say “Hello” to me, but they just did. It is their cultures and customs. And when I entered a door into some building, they opened the door for me. I was surprised their kindness. They did a kindness to people who don’t know. It is not culture shock, but I think that I have to learn this kindness.

Culture shock by Byung noh

I lived in America this summer. I arrive in ball state university 6 week ago.
First, I visited a walmart because I bought necessities of life. And I paid this object.
But, the price add the tax. I was surprised this situation. Because, my country was include tax.
I felt so expensive. I was strange this culture. But these days I understand this situation. Because, I experience many America culture.
For example, Lately I eat America food in atrium and I learn that I see America life style. And so on….
I understand another culture when I experience another culture.

Im mi yeon.

When I saw American, American are free than Korean. Because American takes a treat delight in traveling. Korean likes also to trip. But Korean doesn’t have an opportunity for trip. Because Korean is always busy. And they work always a routine. But American has unconventional life. So I was surprised. Actuality, I envy them. Our country regiments student. So we don’t have many free time. It’s shock me. We hope for free time. Also, American wants of many jobs. They like wander from place to place. So they get job in various parts of the world. So I think that we has difference of opinion when we meet American .

My name is Ah young Kim

Culture shock
I really surprised at friendly people. Many Americans always smile and say “hi”. In Korea we have never seen greeting with stranger. When I was jogging in university, the women who were jogging said to me hello. I experienced a lot of same situation. Also I was invited to party from someone who working in the restaurant. Even though they don’t know us, they are favor of us but we couldn’t go there. I really want to go party. In USA, there is much party. Many Americans hold a party and enjoy a party. In Korea, party is not common. I really envy that. That’s all! Thank you for reading^^

My culture shock

When I saw the obesity in USA, I was surprised. I have never seen obesity like American. Actually, there is obesity in Korea, but American was too huge and big, too many people. I didn’t know obesity problem in USA. I used to see their picture, but I thought that is fake, composition picture. But it is real! And when I went to the restaurant (like mcdonalds), I was surprised. Because, soft drink size is so big. Regular size coke in USA is big size in Korea. most American drink this size coke. And pizza size as well. If they(obesity) live in Korea, they are hard to live. But In USA, they don’t mind other people’s eyes and it is just personality and culture.
In america i have many culture shock. For example Amereica people don`t recycle. In korea we recycle every day . In addition that is our habit.

CULTURE SHOCK

First time I ate lunch and then I throw all food stored away
for example I throw all togeter coke, bread, cup, and plastic.
It is shock for me.

I know that Amierca people are fat but I really look them, very supperise.
It is very serious problem.

They say hi~ when I walk street I met that I don't know man but we are eye contect.
Korean people escape their's sight.

Amierca people very kind because they always say "sorry","excuse me".
They say "Bless you" when I sneeze.

Culture shock in USA

When I enter or out the building, some people hold the door for behind people. And they said "Thank you." or " You're welcome."

Some weeks ago, We talk about the dating in USA. I think most of Americans do the skin ship very usually. In Koreans we hug with family, best friends and close persons. I think it is very common thing in USA.
We are very careful to touch other person, because skin ship is not usual to most of Koreans. Specially older people.

I saw the beautiful houses in Mucie. They have some yards and garden.
I Korea the land and hous is seperated, so the owner is different.
However in USA they buy a land and then they build the house.

I also experienced the uncomfortableness, because the transportation system is not comfortable to everybody. Of course many Americans have the cars. However some people don't have cars. It is very different between both of countries.

When I came here firstly,,,,,,,

When I came here firstly, I was surprised with teacher’s clothes.
Because In Korea teachers are never wear clothes such as ripped blue jean, tank top and slippers.
So I think that America is very free.
And the recycling is very shocked to me.
In Korea, if I throw trashes doing not recycling I have to pay fine.
So it is too strange to me, but at the same time it’s very convenient and easy.
If I return to Korea, I may not adapt the Korea recycling system.
Also when I went the dorm’s rest room, there is no trash box.
Instead of throwing toilet paper into the trash box, they drop it into the toilet.
But now, I have been adapted well everything. :)

-Gemma-

culture shock? that's ok

I spend 2month in America. I'm so interesting.
In the U.S.A. people greet to each other with cheerful and bright manner even to the stranger as if they had known each other for a long time but in Korea, they have a lot of suspicion toward any stranger and they are considerably sober.In the U.S.A they have party once a week and they are used to with parties but party culture in Korea is not widely opened in our daily life and we are not accustomed to parties.In the U.S.A. the Dutch Pay is very popular but in Korea, normally one person pay for the dinner and the others buy the next time. so I'm really like America culture.

Culture Shock

When I arrived in America, I was surprised by many things.
First I had to greet to order people by waving hand.
In my country, I have to greet by bowing. If not, It is rude.
Also, In atrium, I saw people who dump all of thing, plastic, paper and so on.
They didn't recycle. It is terrible. It is a cause of pollution.
Finally, Americans are very friendly. If people walking through the road flashed another people, they said "hello!". However they didn't know who is it.

Oh my god..[jun's story in U.S.A]

I lived in America for 1 and half month. But I sometime felt different culture. For example, when I went to Atlanta airport, I was discovering restroom which is opening bottom wall. So I was surprising. Because other people see my leg.
Second, I experienced culture shock that is friendly American. Because I heard that most of American is individualism. So I think American is very busy and then they open the door speedy. And they don't talk about unknown people. But I changed my mind.
Because they is very friendly and say "hello" everyday. And people like to help unknown people who is difficult situation.
Third, I didn't search my size of clothes. Maybe American is taller than Korean. And then I nearly didn't see long hair man.
I felt many culture shock. But I love U.S.A.

Culture Shock I'm OK.

A lot of people think or expect America, Americans thier culture.
Also me too, but When I go to here I felt culture shock in america.
first, there is a lot of people too fat and obese child.
American peoples eating too salt, too fat and a lot of instant food.
So, American peoples become too fat and ugly.
Second, In Korea I can drink a beer, alcool and whisky in the street.
But In USA I can't drink a any alcools.
But! There is a exception in UAS in Las Vegas.
I know there is a lot of country in the world.
So, a lot of culture in the world.
We can understand possible their cultures.

culture shock

I spend over 1month in America. When I came to America, I was shocked by differences between Korea and America. First, American said very much that “Excuse me” and “Thank you”. So, I thought that American is very kind and

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

CULTURE SHOCK
WELL FIRST OUR UNIVERSITY IN KOREA WE CAN DRINKING AND SMOKING ANYWHERE SO WE CAN SHOW DRINKING AND SMOKING PEOPLE IN THE UNIVERSITY BUT BALL STATE UNIVERSITY IS NOT. WE CAN'T DRINKING IN CAMPUS AND IF YOU WANT SMOKING YOU MUST GO TO SMOKING AREA
SECOND IN KOREA WHEN WE GO TO PUB OR BAR WAITER OR WAITRESS BRING SOME SNACK AND MENU SO WE CAN DRINKING ALCHOL WITH SNACK SO WE SAVE MONEY
BUT IN AMERICA WE MUST BUY SOME SNACK WITH ALCHOL.
THAT'S ALL
I THINK KOREAN STYLE AND AMERICAN STYLE BOTH HAVE EACH POSITIVE THING

culture stock

there are difference between korea and us.

first, in korea, for example, if korea professor's husband come in university, they not hold hand and acrros their arms. but in usa professor holds hands naturely :)

second, american people not recycle trash. but in korea, they always recycle . at least korea people seperate rest of food and paper, can but american people throw all of food to a same trash can.

culture shock

When i came to america, i felt about lot of things. It is very different between korea and America related to culture. first, when i went to villige, i just hang out in anyplace, at that time some people told me "May i sit here?" i surprised about that. because i didin't know him.
In America, Although i don't know any people, they just accost first ant talk about anything with me. even i went to bar and restaurant i could feel about that. it is very interesting. In korea, if i don't know person, i usually don't talk anything. but if girl accost me first, i can tell about something.

so i thought American easily make a friend anywhere. also, american are very kind other people.

Culture shock

I felt culture shock in the Artrium. While unusing food is not throw in Korea, it is throw to the trash in America. I experienced it. I will puchased potato, but I don't enough to money. So I can't puchase it. And I try it back, but chasher it throw in the trash. So I am embaressed and I can't understand this situation. Because potato possible to eat. I think that it is culture diffrence. If it occur in Korea, chasher will be not throw in the trash in Korea. But it is impotant that respect the culture. Thank you for reading.

Culture shock

I have experienced a lot of culture shock in my life. My first memory of culture shock was when I moved from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Austin, Texas.

Albuquerque has a lot of crime. My middle school had a gang problem. Some kid was shot after school one day because he was dressed in rival gang colors. We had to walk through metal detectors to come to school, like at the airport. Once a kid used mace in the cafeteria and we couldn't eat there for a week. It was a tough place. At my school in Albuquerque, I could not leave my backpack anywhere because it would be stolen. Kids were very, very tough.

Then I moved to Austin. At my new school, kids went to lunch and everyone threw their backpack into a big pile of backpacks in the cafeteria. I would not leave my backpack with the other backpacks because I thought it would be stolen. I didn't leave my backpack there for several months. I was also surprised because people were nice to me. I expected the other students to test the new girl, so I tried to be extra tough. I thought, everyone will know not to pick on me if I'm extra tough. But no one picked on me. They helped me and were super-nice.

It took me a long time to trust that people didn't steal. I liked that there was no violence or gang problem at the new school, but I missed my old school for the following reasons:

1. In Albuquerque, almost everyone spoke Spanish and knew about Indian cultures. At my new school, people were ignorant about Indians and hateful of Hispanic people.
2. At my old school, the English and Spanish teachers taught us interesting books and let us choose what we wanted to read and write. In Austin, they only taught us grammar, which I found boring. I hated my new subjects in school.

Culture shock! ^^

Culture shock.
2 weeks ago, I had drunk with my friends in the Muggly’s.
Suddenly 3 people come into the Muggly’s. I think one of them a lot of drunken and look like very stranger.
They sit on the table our beside. The drunken guys asked me my name.
so, I teach him my name, but he did not reply.
The waitress is calling to police. Soon, police arrived our place.
Police arrest him after search a his body. May be police find a gun. And he was arrest by police.
But their friend still drunk after police go back with their friend. So I asked they.
“why not worried your friend? Now he arrested by police!” but they are not confusion.
They said “we do not anything.” I think it is right. But it is difference between American and Korean.
Thank you^^

Conner Prairie

Hi
I'm sorry to be so late.

I went to Conner prairie on last thursday.
Before arriving there, I planed to take a balloon.
However I saw the balloon going up in the sky. It's very high.
So, I couldn't take it. I was scared.
I think that I had good choice.
And then I walked around there.
I took a picture and had a conversation with many foreigen.
I had many experiences. I was exciting.
I entered house and saw a man who made the pottery.
He looked happy. I wanted to get it. To make the pottery is very unbelievable.
I stayed for twenty minutes.
And then I went to take lunch. I ate sandwich. Actually I don't like it.
However It was delicious because I was very hungry.
After eating, I took a rest. I came back the dorm.
It's been a long and sweet day.

Hi ^^;

I'm Ryan. so late. Sorry~
I had a picnic to Conner Prairie Park. There was past American town in Indianapolis. I rode a school bus with all together for an hour. I played the game “Nintendo” with my friends. And many actors did working there with clothed a past dress. I think they like come out of storybooks. Therefore I wanted to take a picture with them. I watched there with my friends. We saw a balloon at first. We wanted to fly a balloon, but it is very expensive. That was a 10 $. I didn’t have much money. We felt want of balloon. Next, we saw some animal. There were pigs, horses etc. However, they took a nap in cage. They smell so bad. I wish to wash them. And then I went to Indian town. We can throw a tomahawk at there. My friends threw tomahawk, but it looks very difficult to hit a target. I just took a picture. I captured very funny picture with my friends to throw the tomahawk. That is very interesting. The park is very wide, so we were quickly tried. Therefore we had a rest from sit on grass. That was very happy time. As soon as I arrived at home, I went to bed. Even if it is very short time, I had fun time.

Conner prairie

Hi! Every one! My name is Byung Noh
I went to Conner prairie on yesterday.
It takes one hour and half hours from Muncie to Conner prairie by bus.
Finally, I have been to Conner prairie first I visited museum which are lot of exhibition. For children, there were tiny facilities. For example, small chair and small desk, and so on…..
I head out some place. I saw horse and donkey. They are very cute.
I passed by balloon and went to Conner Hormestead. I visited one house. The house lived grandmother.
She is cooking food. The food smelled very flavor.
Next, I walked to parairietown and liberty corner.

Finally, I visited Conner prairie store. I bought pencil case and horse doll. I will give my friends in Korea.

good memory

Yesterday, we went to Conner prairie. The experience was so exciting to me. I could see the beautiful landscape, old houses and people who was wearing the 1800’s clothes. Throwing an axe and taking a balloon voyage were so impressive. Especially taking balloon is the best memory in there. When the balloon goes up, I was so scared. So I couldn’t move anywhere. But few minute later, I could have balance. And I saw the beautiful landscape. It was so fantastic. I took a picture with my friends. The landscape is so coooool! I think that this experience is the once in my life.
I want to take a balloon again. At that time, I want to go around here and there. And I hope to go up higher. Yesterday I was pleasured because having a time with my friends. About 2 weeks later I will go to my home, I want to have good memories in here with my friends. When I go to my country I hope to smile with good and wonderful memory in here. :D

Dancing is traditional dance, similar to Korean playing.
I was very impressed in Conner Prairie.
Near by village, I also played traditional toy is named stilts.

Few days ago, my teacher told me that conner prairie is very execiting place.
so, i expected to go to there. finally, i went to conner prairie yesterday. i heard that there are a lot of out of date people who have leaved conner prairie. In order to go there, it takes one and halfhours by bus. but, I don't like to take a bus. so iam bored. As soon as arriving conner prairie, i visited museum which are lot of exhibit. also there were volunteers.
i throwed a ax which was very heavy and scarced. although i throwed a ax second times, i can't sucess to throw a ax. it is very hard to me. If i go there again, i really want to sucess.
and then, i visited various town which was very old house. when I took a picture, they said that
how can you draw a picture fastly. even they didn't know about camera. actually, they are just actor. so it is necessary that they pretended that they knew nothing about it. but i am interested about that.

Conner prairie

Yesterday, I went to the connerprairie. It was really wonderful place. I especially interested in indian people. He teach me indian language but it was so difficult. So I can't remember now. Indiand people putting on special dress are strange. It was just like indian's appearance in movie. It was amazing experience to me. And school house was vey impressed. Teachers in school house are very kind. So I could understood american's education in 1880's. Also america's various of animals were interesting to me. It was different from korea's animals. It was very big and scared to me. But connerprairie was very big. So I was tired. I thought that using bicycle is good idea. If I use bicycle, I can see more place. Connerprairie is similar to koreanfolk. However connerprairie is bigger than korefolk. So it look like more peaceful. Anyway, It is evidence that connerprairie is nice place. So I hope that visit it again.

It went up so high, some guy who work in conner prairie said to me, the balloon go up until about 300 pits. In the village, men, women, children wear 1860s clothes. It looked like an animation. They were so kind and sweet. But I think they sometimes felt to be bored,
because they repeated same things. (For example- knitting, cooking and so on.)
I met Indian. When I met him, I felt to watch a movie! Anyway he was so nice guy. He was putting a hatchet in some straw wall. I did that, too. Although my arms were so pain because the hatchet is so big, it was so exciting!! Also, I saw a baby goat. He was so cuty, I think he was 6months, maybe. I saw a baby chicken, horse, too.
I couldn’t go to school. I was late, class had already started. If I went to school, I would speak more English with teacher. Anyway, yesterday was so fun. If I go to conner prairie again, I want to see more things!

Conner prairie is very funny place. There are a lot of actor and actress. They act like 19th people. I talk to person in English about their president. A woman who is political movement “vote for women” said to me “I … I… forgot it…” She was very confused. But she taught me about their president. His name is James Garfield. I said “Garfield is cat!”(Just kidding…) It’s very funny time. :)

And I took(?) a balloon. It’s very nice! In the upper air… Everything looks like miniature. Those are so cute. I can see many cloud… and far away lake. It is Exciting experience. I fly high without airplane.





This is balloon.




I caught miniature. :)



Indiana Polis's landscape is good. :)

Interesting experience


Yesterday, I went to the conner prairie museum.
It is alive museum. I took some pictures with my friends.
We went to around the town. I throw the axe and met the real Indian.

Great experience

I had a lot of experiences in the Conner prairie.
Firstly, I hugged baby sheep just born two weeks ago.
And I took pictures with baby sheep.
The sheep was very cute and lovely, and the sheep was male.
The sheep had been seeking his mother continually.
After the volunteer was released the baby sheep, he went running to his mother quickly.
And then, I met donkeys and unique horses.
They were very gentle and mild.
Next, I did signature about women’s right to do vote.
I knew that in the 19’s century there was no right to do vote for women.
It’s very interested to me.
And she wore a bustle style’s cloth.
I just looked the cloth in the textbook or pictures, so it was marvelous.
And I watched the loom process in the loom house.
One old woman was showed and explained the weaving process to me.
I also saw it just textbook, so I did not understand process at that time.
However after I saw the process directly, I can understand better.
And frankly speaking, the lunch was not good, because I don’t like the turkey sandwich.
So I bought an ice cream in food court, it was very big and delicious.
I was too full, but it was really nice.
Anyway, the Conner prairie was a great experience to me.

Good Conner Prairie


I went to the Conner Prairie yesterday. There is so nice place because, so many tree and blue sky, clouds. They are so dutiful. Also, I rode a hot air balloon. I'm surprised and very interesting because, Very high. Everything was sp exciting and fantastic in the balloon and Indiana. The scenery of the Indiana was beautiful beyond description. I took pictures of my friends and me with my digital camera. Next, I went to a Conner Prairie museum with my friend. A variety of sights were on display in the museum. In addition, I went in an animal farm and saw pigs, sheep, hens and lambs close up. Spending time with animals is very fun. When I fed the baby sheep, I was afraid they might bite my hands.
We took a rest chip and sandwiches at lounge. Sandwiches and fruits are very delicious.
I think its fun to learn about other cultures and good opportunity to experience other cultures.My memories won't probably be able to be forgotten and I won't also forget them for ever.

Conner Prairie!

Yesterday, we went to Conner Praierie. There are many interesting things. Also, I learned the historical culture. I look around many places. In a house, I asked actors that "Do you know the car?".And then, He said me "I don't know that. We always use a train." I thought that in America of 1800s, their transportation was undeveloped.. In another places, I saw many animals such as sheep, horse. It was very interesting. The black horses's eye seems to be died so I was some surprised. However I took a picture with them. :)
Weather was very hot so I was tired..

love themselves

http://www.religionnewsblog.com/11323/Anorexia-now-cult-figure-named---Ana

I readed an article about anorexia. These days anorexia is big problem of sociality. Because many young women and teens who suffer from anorexia. They make a role model. And they call her “Ana.” They think that she is real presence in the lives of many of her followers, she exists only in their minds. They don't want to eat to lose their weight. This situation is dangerous. I know that it is very dangerous and will be a bigger. I worried about these young people. I think they are needed to help from school, parents and government. And they should change their mind about beauty and healthy. They should love themselves.

About Anorexia

Anorexia is an eating disorder where people starve themselves. Anorexia usually begins in young people around the onset of puberty. Individuals suffering from anorexia have extreme weight loss. Weight loss is usually 15% below the person's normal body weight. People suffering from anorexia are very skinny but are convinced that they are overweight. Weight loss is obtained by many ways. Some of the common techniques used are excessive exercise, intake of laxatives and not eating. Anorexics have an intense fear of becoming fat. Their dieting habits develop from this fear. Anorexia mainly affects adolescent girls. People with anorexia continue to think they are overweight even after they become extremely thin, are very ill or near death. Often they will develop strange eating habits such as refusing to eat in front of other people. Sometimes the individuals will prepare big meals for others while refusing to eat any of it.
I read about anorexia article. I think health is very important for our body. So we shouldn't have anorexia, bulimia and obesity. They are very fatal to us.

My name is Ahyoung!!

http://kidshealth.org/teen/food_fitness/dieting/obesity.html

Hi everyone!
I read an article about obesity.
It has some information about definition, the reason and the problems of overweight.
Nowadays, obesity people are increasing.
So people interested in obesity and being healthy are increasing too.
Obesity doesn’t means not fit as we learned it Ashley’s class.
I think so but sometimes it can cause illness.
Also who has a skinny body can be have a health problem too.
Before I learned it, I had a prejudice of obesity.
However I don’t think so now.
Regardless of obesity or skinny, we should eat good food and workout regularly.
I think it is most important. Thank you for teaching to me Ashley :D
Have good weekend everyone
See you next week~

Anorexia patients are suffered.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/09/26/anorexia.model/index.html?iref=newssearch

Actually many young modles are suffered by the Anorexia.
It is eatting disorder disease. Many people want to be skinny and the society is pressuring the womam to be pretty.

I think the model who is advert the anorexia is really courage.
Many model are hiding their disease. They need some help to cure the disease.
If the anorexia could be worse, they are lose their life.

Many young girls want to be skinny, pretty and beautiful. So am I.
However just don't eating is wrong, because our body need appropriate the nutrition.
Everybody want to live healthy and happy life.
So anorexia patient should face the reality what they look like, and they should take the cure.

Healthy life is not realted on beauty. I think the obesity people are fitter than anorexia patient. I think the fashion industries also should accept the change.
The Milan Fashion has banned skinny models from its catwalks.

If we want to change the pressure, we can do that!!

About Eating Disorders

http://www.wabi.tv/news/6662/eating-disorders-more-common-than-you-may-think
I read Eating Disorders-more common than you may think. frankly speaking, I had a experience eating disorder. I use to eat excessive quantities of food, always under the stress of fat. but I couldn't stop eating food. The more I feel nervous, the more I ate food. I was becoming fat. It was a vicious circle cycle. It was really really serious.
Have you ever been experienced eating disorder like me? It is not special, not except for you. Eating disorders is more common than you may think(especially, It spread wide women). Actually, eating disorders, which include anorexia nervosa, bulimia, are estimated to impact about 10million people in the USA. eating disorders touch the lives of many, many people in your city, town, or community. It is very serious.
But, The sooner that treatment starts for an eating disorder, the easier it is to treat. Eating disorders don't usually go away by themselves. so we have to prevent from getting it.

Jun is thinking about Anorexia.

I consult this article.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/besttreatments/anorexia-summary/print

We should have seen someone who have anorexia. Recently, I met to many article which is "Many girl want to slim down, because they wish to a model body.". I think this article not only happen in Korea, but also other country worry about this happening. Because serious sliming down is dangerous situation. For example, a few people die, some people is melancholia and someone don't have desire. And so I think government must help someone who have anorexia. Also media show no longer models who have skinny body.
If my idea select them, our society is perhaps better than nowdays.

Anorexia

Most of people, especially women think that eat too much oneself.
However, she ate only one banana.
Why does she think that eat enough? Does she feel really be fulled?

Nowadays, there are too many skinny and thin people.
Most of people think that they are very attractive.
So, many people want to be like them.

However, it is not the best problem.

It is the best problem that some of them are already very skinny and thin people.
I'm glad to hear it, but it is true.
I think that it will continue to think they are overweight.

It is terrible !
It is must be changed !


Instead of starving or eating a little bit, work out regularly.

America's obesity problem is big news

http://www.post-gazette.com/localnews/20040101closeup0101p4.asp


Hi~! I'm a Ryan.

I read one article about America’s obesity problem in internet. The article said Americans increased overweight or obese. Furthermore, the prevalence of obesity almost doubled from about 15 percent in 1980 to 27 percent in 1999. And BMI(Body Mass Index : A BMI of or more is considered overweight and one of or more reflects obesity) increase into account. Children as well as household pets are affected. Many experts said obesity will lead to increased deaths from disease. Also many people who didn’t diet and exercise behaviors rise many problems. Both sides of the simple equation of weight maintenance : calorie intake equals calorie output.
I think that they change eating habit and have many exercise in free time.

About anorexia

http://www.examiner.com/x-7150-Extreme-Weight-Loss-Examiner~y2009m7d13-ls-calorie-restriction-the-same-as-anorexia

Good morning^^ I will talk about anorexia.
I did read this article. Many woman think that they are very fat. This thinking is not good for their mental health. Because they always receive stress about their body.
I wish that anorexia patients have positive mind for their body. And their family also help them. Health body is most beautiful body. So we have to maintain healthy body doing exercise, eating balanced food, have a positive thinking. I will steadily make health body^^

Childhood: Obesity Linked to Sleep Disorder

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/09/health/research/09chil.html?_r=1&scp=8&sq=obesity&st=cse

Many obesity children have desease of sleep. Quater of them(selected 700 children) had sleep-disordered breathing. This article said -waist circumference and body mass index were strong independent risk factors for snoring and other breathing problems during sleep.

I think most important thing for good health is sleep well. If you don't get enough sleep, maybe you will get too much stress and anorexia and some desease... According to this article, obesity children have some desease of sleep (caused by obesity). Maybe obesity or have desease of sleep children don't grow well. So obesity children and their parents have to do their best for children's good health.

About obesity in children

Recently, obesity in children is continuing to grow. It is serious problem. Because overweight

children have risk of developing diease such as heart diease. And they tent to sad and groomy.

Overweight children's causes are various. The biggest cause is unhealthy eating patterns. Also

lack of exercise caused children to overweight. So I think it is important that chidren take

exercise. And regular meals and eating vegitable are essential.

I found an article. [Hak Moo]

I found an article about obesity.
This ariticle URL is http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=4639
Summary this article,
First, obesity can lead to heart attck and it has higher risk for health problems.
Second, Introduce a method of measured about fat.

This article tell me risk of obesity, lead to health problems and so on.
For example, I my body will be fat, it is induce diabetes and rises blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Next, this article said two things that The body mass index formula assesses body weight relative to height.
1. Weight in kilograms is divided by height in meters squared.
2. Multiply weight in pounds by 703, divide by height inches, then divide again by height in inches.
If your BMI(Body Mass Index) values less than 18.5 are consider underweight.
Or BMI vales from 18.5 to 24.9 are nomal.
I think my BMI values are 18.5 to 24.9. I want to be nomal^^

If you wonder your BMI, check your BMI used by BMI calculator.

Force feeding in Mauritania

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3429903.stm

This article was about the country Mauritania. Traditionally, they would force-feed girls to make them fatter. Being fat was seen as beautiful, rich, and taken care of. Men wrote poems about how beautiful fat women, as big as ships, were.

The writer of the article went to a "fat farm" in Mauritania where the owner of the farm force feeds seven-year-old girls. She said that they always cry, but she didn't think force-feeding girls was cruel. She thought it was good so that they could get a husband. She also said that she had seen girls that were ten years old give birth.

* * * * *

It hard to support cultural relativism (the idea that no culture is good or bad, just different) when I read about such unbelievable cruelty to children. Force feeding them and then marrying them off seems unimaginably cruel.

about the article of obesity

http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1077/is_9_58/ai_103565066/

The article said that 80 percent of people are obesity in America and it is very dangerous. According to a recent study, they have many diseases because of obesity. For example, there are cardiopulmonary disease, cancer and heart disease. Also, the article suggests how to reduce fat. They recommend the way to diet that careful monitoring of caloric intake and daily exercise and a balanced diet high in fruits and vegetables and low in fat.
I was surprised after I read the article. I think that obesity is very serious problem in America. Also, I think American have to change their eating habits. To lose your weight, a surgical method is not good for health. If many people follow the way that suggested by this article, they will improve their health.

blacks have highest obesity rates in u.s

http://www.ajc.com/health/content/shared-auto/healthnews/obes/629119.html



Nowadays, many American people are getting more fatter than before.  Especially, blacks people are more fatter than white 


people. But it is not important issue. Because, The important thing is that people should know themselves about their body.


As well as, they should know about their body status which is getting worst more and more if they can't stop eating.


If someone can't stop eating, they will be  becoming obesity person.  It is meaning that they will lost their health.


There are some methods in order to keep their health. First, they must cut down on food like a fast foods and oily foods.


I mean that they don't have to eat wrong kinds of foods.  And second, they usually work out some place. it is necessary that 


they  do activity about exercise.  And people always control their body and manage their health. Although they are hard to 


move somewhere, they should work out in place. if they can do that they will get good health and keep healthy body.


After reading bulimia

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/19/magazine/19bruni-t.html?_r=1&hp

I read this magazine. At first time, i think bulimia is illness caused by someone's dicide. However it is not true. In this case, he was a toddler bulimic why he had desease himself. Bulimia is a big problem someone who suffering from that desease because, it makes people skinny and bring another desease. Also, in his case, he was a baby. When people is a toddler and kids, they should take more healty food becasue of thier growing. Life has three big happy. among this, eating is the best enjoying of our life. so, if people who is bulimia, they must healing their illness.
