Conner prairie
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.
I visited one house. There lived one man. He played musical instrument. It is similar guitar. He recommend a musical instrument for me. I try it.
I was unpracticed it. I played worse than him. But, I felt very fun.
And, I met Indian. He explained to me and my friends that traditional ax. So, he exhibited to me that throw the ax. It is seem to be very exciting.
Finally, I visited Conner prairie store. I bought pencil case and horse doll. I will give my friends in Korea.
Yesterday, I think that I have a good experience.

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

Have you ever gone in Conner Prairie.
There is traditional position. People wear custom in 1800’s was welcoming ours.
I met electronic scientist at first. He was viewing static electricity. My major is electronic engineering.
So I asked him about electronic.
I went to Indian camp. And there was many people, they was singing Indian song.
I also threw out tomahawk, but I didn’t hit target.
And then I went to village, I met girls and danced with girl.
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.
This toy was very difficult to play and dangerous toy.
I was practicing again and again. Finally I was riding well.
Moreover I was looking around all of Conner Prairie.
Before I got out of Conner Prairie, I bought armband presented my friends.
I was tired, but I was exciting and studied history of American. Additional, If you want to know American in 1800’s, you must go this village.
conner prairie
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.

I want to ride it however, I have a high ground acrophobia . I enter the Conner prairie. First, I went to small farm. There are many kind of animals. I saw chicken baby. Chicken baby is very small and so cute. I took a picture with small chicken baby. And I saw baby sheep. Sheep are grazing with their friend sheep. The baby sheep is only 2 weeks old. After saw the sheep I met Indian . Indian plays the game. The game looks so dangerous. However, I want to try this. So , I asked to him. He teached to me how to play this game. First, I grasp an ax then step forward one step. Second, throw the an ax. Lastly, hit the target. This game is very exiting . After finished this game, I met the doctor. I remember that Ashley’s saying. So, I asked to doctor. “There are female nurse?” Doctor said, “I don’t know what is the nurse.” I was very exciting this fact. I knew lots of U.S.A. at 1800s because of this experience.

Also peoples make war upon other peoples and there is a lot of axes.
Second, I worn clothes in American of old. Expecially I worn woman's clothes,

Third, I felt that C.P. is similar to Minsokchon in Korea. Minsokchon is also living history
museum in Korea, but there is one difference. Sometimes there are real people living in Minsokchon. We can show traditional wedding, the traditional Korean Bongsan masked dance and traditional clothes.
Finally I saw a lot of animals such as donkeys, pigs, sheeps, horses, chickens, and so on.
I touched these animals. This is my first experience and this don't experience in Korea.
So I was interesting and exciting.
Before I went to there, I disliked going to C.P. But It was good and new experience to me, because I knew old American culture and spoke English with many Americans.
The exciting trip : Conner Prairie
I think that it is same place called "Min Sok Chon" in Korea.
There are many things. Balloon, a donkey ,throw a tomahawk and so on.
I spoke with some of indians. one of indians said to me that i am real indian.
I'm not sure he is real indian or lie to me.

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.
I do like the horse, so I touched the horses.
They were so gentle. They are also big. There are many animals.
Horese, Chicken, sheeps and so on.
Yesterday weather was so hot.
I went to the William Conner's home.
He's house was so nice. He was American-Indian.
I heard about his story. I also drop by the blacksmith's shop.
They were making some stuffs. They look so hot. They are using iron.
There were tow man. I remember a handsome boy!!
I went to the school. The teacher aske me "Where are you form?" So I indicate the map where is the South Korea.
He knew my country. He said "I teach the all subjects."
I watch the English book. The book look so easy to me.
I danced with girls. They dressed some clothes which look so long time ago.
I met the doctor. He was very busy, because many patients asked to him.
I wanted to take the ballon. However I didn't have much time.
There were some boys and girls who help people.
They were really kind. I think the fences are so nice.
Nails are so expensive, so they make a fence crosse.
I can watch some photos at 1800s. The teacher said his friends died in Civil war.
Civil war outbroke at 1835. In my opinion, Indians culture is very unique.
They respect the nature. It is so sad to many indians was died at 1800s.
It was very exciting.

I threw the tomahawk in indian's village. There is real indian, he taught me way to throw. It was difficult but I was suscces!
There are many houses, farm looks like 200 years ago. It was very different for korea. And there are many actor, so I feel I go to the back (to 200 years ago).
And I met doctor's wife and hers friend by the way, she is very kind. maybe I think she is actor, but she looks like live in there because she was wearing traditional clothes.
After then I went to souvenir shop. There are many things made from conner prairie farms. I wanted to buy them, but they are expensive. so I couldn't but them:/
When I came back to muncie, it was raining. I think we are lucky because after we leave there.

Conner Prairie
There are many house in village. House is very beautiful.
Great experience
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.
By Gemma
Good Conner Prairie

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!
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
My name is Ahyoung!!
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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 !
Instead of starving or eating a little bit, work out regularly.
http://www.mamashealth.com/anorexia.asp
Byung Noh
Black have highest obesity rates in US.
Obesity is serious problem in US. Recently, Blacks and Hispanics increase rates of obesity.
It is a bad news. They have bad behavior. Because, they will reduce weight to behavior.
Specially, they will change eating habits. They eat more fruits and vegetables and low cholesterol. Also, they take regularly more exercise and more activity. Then, they will live healthy life.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I FOUND AN ARTICLE ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON. HIS BODY WEIGHED ONLY 50KILOS, GROSSLY UNDERWEIGHT FOR HIS 5FEET 11FRAME. BEFORE HIS DEATH TOO, JACKSON KEPT GETTING PROGRESSIVELY THINNER. SO I THINK MICHAEL JACKSON MIGHT HAVE DIED OF ANOREXIA. AND JACKSON OBSESSION WITH PLASTIC SURGERY, EXCESSIVE DIETING, ATTEMPTS TO CAMOUFLAGEDESPISED FEATURES AND ALSO ALCHOL AND DRUG ABUSE. I WAS THINK BEFORE 'MICHAEL JACKSON IS RICHMAN AND FAMOUS SINGER SO HE IS SO HAPPY' BUT I THINK NOW JACKSON WAS SO POOR. HE HAS LOTS MONEY BUT HE DIDN'T GET HEALTHY BODY.
Childhood obesity bigger than a weight issue
Now days, childhood obesity is a problem throughout America.
Especially, in Georgia, about 37 percent children are suffering from obesity.
So Georgia listed as the third-highest population of overweight youths in the U.S.
They have risk factors that caused serious disease such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol and diabetes etc...
Childhood obesity is a complicated issue with no one solution but there are many ways to solve this problem that their parents and family can prevent to eat too much food.
In conclusion, this article said that healthy children with healthy habits are more likely to be healthy adults.
reference ; http://blogs.ajc.com/better-health/2009/07/13/doctor-is-in-childhood-obesity-bigger-than-a-weight-issue/
Obesity in Children I'm OK
This blog and medicine correlate.
this blog tell by the peoples that The most common causes are genetic factors,
lack of physical activity, unhealthy eating patterns, or a combination of these factors.
also, many children spend a lot time being inactive.
For example, the average child spends approximately 4 hours each day watching television.
So, parents should focus on gradually changing their family's physical activity and eating habits.
America's obesity problem is big news
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
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^^
Obesity Raises Risk Of Complications In Pregnancy, Study Shows
People think that pregnant women have to eat much.
Most of Korean eat much during the period of pregnancy than before the pregnancy.
So, many pregnant women have a obesity. This grow many problem.
Pregnant women suffer from headaches and heartburn, compared with pregnant women of a healthy weight.
This problem not affect just mother. It cause bad effect to baby too.
If mother eat too much, the baby birth with obesity.
Therefore, pregnant woman eat suitable food and have to exercise.
Childhood: Obesity Linked to Sleep Disorder
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
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]
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^^
This article contain “Body Mass Index calculator”
If you wonder your BMI, check your BMI used by BMI calculator.
Force feeding in Mauritania
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
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
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.

Kea So Joo with Alcohol in Korean.
Kea So Joo which means Dog Meat Soup with Alcohol in Korean.
So, This article is in disagreement with Korean food is Kea So Joo and dog eating.
But, My opinion is different.
The culture is different each other.
Because we lived on earth but culture was different each other such as environment.
So, The Cultures cannot same. therefor, Cannot this artcle agree is correct.
I eaten a Dog at sometime. Such as dog vegetables cooked in casserole and
dog seasoned with vinegar and other condiments.
But I didn't eaten Kea So Joo.
Kea So Joo cooking is that one dog, chestnut, ginger, jujube and fitness water boiling 4~5 hours.
This is Kea So Joo.
Friday, July 10, 2009
In my opinion, It is difference of culture.
I can't understand people who eat dog because I love and raise a dog.
There are many another things for health.
However, I don't opposite it, too. We have to understand difference with each other nation's culture. When we had a disscution about it in class, a student said "What is different between eating dog and eating pig?" It's all right.
Then, most of people will say, "The dog is a lovely pet." The pig will be also lovely pet to someone.
Therefore I think that It is difference of culture.
About the article…..
Some people like American or Europeans think eating dog is disgusting.
Korean people like to eat dogs, but only some people not all. They like to eat dogs because they think it's good for their health. They say after they eat dog, they get strong feeling that they can use. Eating dog is very help to our body.
I know that many country people don’t understand to eat the dog Korean.
I don’t understand the many people. They have to make effort for different country culture.I think that eating dog is Korean culture. They don’t have the right to criticize other country culture.

it is misunderstand~
I read this article..
but I am not disagree some of place.
I think that the president of Kea So Joo hope to moer earn money.
So, If this article was read other country people, it was problem..
I think some of people in korea, eating a dog & Kae So Joo. but, theses days very a few.
If all of the people eating a dog in the korea, it is respected to own's culture.
So, I agree & don't agree somethibg in this article.
Thank you~
Kea So Joo and Dog Meat
I read an article about the Kea So Joo.
It’s my first time to know about the Kea So Joo.
The Kea So Joo was korea health food.
But, The ingredient of Kea So Joo is dog and herbs.
So, this country people hate the Kea So Joo.
I think that this problem is a difference in culture.
Although I don’t eating dog meat, I agree with eating dog meat.
Because, eating the Kea So JOO and dog meat is the culture in our county.
I think...
This story is very senstive issue in korea and all over the world.
Especially, President of Kea So Joo is commiting an error about dog. I mean, President just intend to earn a lot of money. If he want to only get much money, other people will get wrong about korea cluture. I mean, it is necessary that he must explain about korea culture and let them know this culture exactly. Althought some people don't understand this culture, he does his best.
and other people will never have to worry about eating a dog. because, it is eatable a dog.
It is meaning that korea people don't eat a dog like a Chihuahua, maltese and so on.
so, if other people clear up misunderstanding about eating a dog, it will be ok each other.
and then people should respect difference about culture.
My opinion
Many people object to eating dog . Because they love dog. they think that dog is pet. So they think people who eat dog are barbarian. But people who eat dog state that eating dog meat is for their health. So it's that they think one of their culture. People who view the raising and eating of animals such as dogs, horses, camels, cats, rats, kangaroos, etc. as wrong, are reacting emotionally from their own cultural bias. Unfortunately, because of the status of dogs as household pets in many cultures, most people in these cultures will continue to view the practice as wrong. I have aten dog . I didn't know when I ate dog. I still eat dog . I think it's delicious and good food. It's a matter of opinion in eating dog's argument.
so we must try to understand each country's cultures.
About Kea so joo and eating dog
I read a aticle about Kea so joo. Actually, I'm raising two dogs in korea and I really like a dog.
so I never eaten Kea so joo and dog meat. However, I don't think that eating dog is bad.
Kea so joo and eating dog is just korea culture. I think that we have to admit having differnce culture. If you don't like eating dog, just you don't have to eat them. People have right to free of choice and we can choose favorite foods to eat. Therefore we should esteem them.
My thinkg
Enthnocentrism&Relativism
I think every culture has a unique things. Understanding other culture is relativism. Some people can not understand the difference. They think that their culture is the best. It is ethnocentrism.
There are many culture and country in all over the world.
Sometimes I can't understand some cultures. However there are definitely exist the diversity. We should respect the diversity. They use another language, wear difference clothes and eating another dish.
I think eating dog is unique food culture in my country. Of course some people can't understand the culture, because they love their pets and they will not eat the dog. Some Koreans do like their pets of course and some people disagree with eating dog culture.
Comprehending the culture, we have to recognize their history and food culture.
My country is agricultural people. Long time ago, we can't ingest fat and protein, because the cows and pigs are property. We need to them for cultivating the farm.
So many koreans absorb the protein from the dog. Of course many people eat the dog for their health in now. I think that some people don't have a right to blame our culture.
They think that their culture is more predominance than our culture.
I think it is wrong. They did not understan the diversity.
Many people shoul think about the diversity of culture. It is important to the world, because sometimes they make a big debate.
Soem people judge the culture using their ethical value. I think ethical things are difference the culture.
We should think about the difference of ethical thing and relativism.
To. Pet Lovers
I read an article about Kae so ju that is oriental medicine made with dog.
You are maybe surprised at this case, but you have to know that it's just one part.
People who are drinking Kae so ju is limited to old or weak people.
They believe that Kae so ju si good for health, so they drink kt for health.
However, most of Korean don't eat well Kae so ju.
And dogs which used for making Kae so ju are eatable dogs.
They are specially raised for food in raising place.
They are not your lovely pets, so you don't have to worry about this situation too seriously.
I also love dogs, and I think that eatable dogs are not our pet.
So you'd better think about Kae so ju like me.
Finally , thanks for your riding about my opinion.
Sincerely Gemma

Kae-so-ju and Eatting doges
Do you believe that poshintang is the best cure for the summer heat, not only for men but also for women, and its protein is good for human body ? According to "Tong-ui-po-gam," an authoritative Korean medical dictionary dating back to the 16th century, dog meat is good for those who suffer from illnesses or recovering from injuries, Do you believe that? Do you think, the following descriptions, as known to Westerners, are true? In Korea, dogs are beat to death so severely and then skinned, quartered and displayed out on a filthy, red stained butcher table in a market of Seoul. South Korea is the only country where dog meat is served to the public in restaurants. Only old Korean men eat dog meat for their libido, instead of taking Viagra pills.
Brigitte Bardot. a famous French movie star and an active animal rights activist (she is also known to be a racist), had accused Koreans of being barbarians for eating dogs. Many Americans and Europeans watch in TV about roast dog in Korea, deep fried beetles and curried cobra in Vietnam, aborted duck fetus in the Philippines. In particular, they get angry when watching that Koreans still beat dogs to death so severely that their adrenaline rushes into their blood, gorging throughout the body so as to make the meat more suitable for consumption.
HW
I thkink that eating dog same eating cow, pig and chicken.
I have naver eatten dog but I agree eating dog.
Korea people think eating dog is good health food.
Special they are eating dog when weather is very hot.
Summer is make our exhausted so it is make our powerful.
Also KEA So Joo. Long time ago Our ancestor are eating KEA So Joo.
It help that their farming effective.
According to eating dog and KEA So Joo.
eatting dog
And I learned that many Franch have Tolerance. But Brigitte Bardot doesn't have tolerance. She always blame Korean. And sometimes distort a fact.(She said "Franch and American and German can't eat dog." but some Franch etting dog. And they even eat a snail! Her speaking is not true. I think she is a racist rather than an animal lover.) Most Indian don't eat cow. But they don't opposite eatting cow other country people. She must has tolerance for her, and other people.
And, Why some people opposite eatting only dog? Many animal coldblood murded. If they opposite etting dog, they must opposite to eat every animal. They said "Dog is our friend!" but I think cow and pig and dog and even snail are our friend.
about kae-so-ju & eating dog
In annual, cow, pig, sheep and so on animals is dying without number.
Opposing people about eating dog say " dogs are my friend. so eating dog is a barbarism."
similarly that people, I like dog and I hate 'dog' as food.
But I think opposing people about eating dog don't say proper reasons.
The article about eating dog.
May eating dog is thought bed by other country but each country has an each culture. Eating dog meat is very special culture of Korea. Either eating horse of dog is just difference of their own food culture. I think culture difference of total somewhat it that is good and bad evaluate that of number I think that is not. To understand the many kinds of culture appropriately, we have to get an attitude to understand the cultures in that society's situation.
About eating dog
my reaction about article
because there are many cultual in the world.
So eating Kae so ju and Kae go gi are just Korea's cultual.
And moreover a few people only eat Kae so ju for their health.
So this article is fault to all korean people.
Eating Kae so ju is same thing to eat Sam-gyu-tang.
Sam-gyu-tang is chicken broth with ginseng.
And Kae so ju also boils with sinseng but only a few people eat it than Sam-gue-tang.
So i agree with eating Kae so ju for Korean people health.
waaaaaaaaaaaa
WE EAT ONLY BREEDED? DOG. SO IT IS NOT ILLEGAL.
WE ARE NOT DAMAGING ANYBODY. AND WE ARE NOT BARBARIAN.
YOU DON'T LIKE EATING DOG, YOU DON'T EAT. THAT'S ALL.
I AM SO ANGRY ABOUT ANOTHER COUNTRY PEOPLE ARE BLAME KOREAN ONLY EATING DOG.
JI EUN LEE
I'm irony that many people eat dog in korea regardless of liking or disliking dog.
But good it may be for our health, Most Koreans don't relish eating dog.
I think South Korea is the unique culture of eating dog. I wish the culture is respectful of tradition .
My reaction about article
Kinds of eating dog are two.
First one is called Bosintang. Second one is Keasojoo.
Many of Korean are used to eat them.
I think they can't be claimed by other people.
Eating dog is korean culture. Culture can't be claimed and be changed by anyone.
I don't like eating dog but I can't claim people who eat dog.
That is my opinion.
Thank you for read^^
hye hyeong Park^^*
most of Korean think that dog is very health food. So, they eat them.
I can't eat dog but I agree that peaple eat the dog.
Long time ago, our ancestor ate the dog also, king of country like eating dog.
Korea have eating dog day. Cho bok( the first 10-day period of dog days ), Joong bok(the middle period of the dog days ), Mal bok(the last 10-day period of the dog days).
So, Korean eat the dog for their health and enjoy the taste at that day.
I think this culture can't prohibit because many Korean enjoy eating dog.

The interview with Murphy
Q : How much do you have to pay for health?
A : I don't need to pay for health because I don't have a job.
Interview
I asked to Mr.Schwartz(Professor).
Q: Is the health system better in Europe than USA?
A: Europe's health care insurance is very cheaper than USA.
My son was given medical threatment. I paid 1doller.
I'm satisfied with Europe's health system.
I'll pay many money if I give medical threatment in USA.
Europe is cheap country to live in. Because Europe has complete health system.
Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Murphy want that USA has complete health system.
The interview with Mr.Schwartz
Asker : Lee Dong Sun ( Lisa )
Respondent : Tom Schwartz
Q : What is the best health system in Europe?
He said that, Countries like France and England, Germany free or inexpensive medical insurance is provided to their citizens. And it's cheap so we don't have to worry about paying.
When his son was injured, he paid inexpensive medical fee.
Interview with Mr. murphy
My question is " what are you going to do change about US health care system ?"
He agree with my opinion that is US has a lot of healt care system problem . Also, he want to chang more peolpe can afford to have a insurance. Becuase, Almost US people don't have a health insurance so when they are going to hospital to see a doctor ,they have to pay beyond our imagine. In contrast , Europe's insurance system is public . So they don't need to pay about thier emergency situation or pregnant .
I think Europe health care system is perpectly good, so I want to chang Korea's system like that.
The interview
Responder : Tom Schwartz (Professor)
Q : How did Germany overcome the difference between the east and the west?
A : After the collapse of Berlin wall, everything even pen became different. For some time, lots of people cried " wonderful!" about unification of Germany. But as time goes by, troubles began to occur. Even though they became unification, they had prejudices each other. So they began to find a way to get united. They followed the better things each other. For example, East Germany had the good school and education system better than West, so West Germany followed the East's system. Like this, they are going to overcome their difference slowly. However they still have prejudices other, so this is very complicated problem that is associated with economy, society and culture.
Q : What kind of benefits do you have in your current country?
A : I an retired now, but It's nice to me. Because I have much time to do many things such as to go to the concert and to meet people. Even though I don't have a job, I receive a pension about my last professorship for about 40 years. I think that our country's social security is good.
Interview
Mr.Murph: No, I'm not satisfied with the current US health care system, because the US health care system can be better than now. It'll keep getting better.
When I interviewed both person, the most impressive thing is many Americans can't sign the health care insurance, because they don't have enough money.
However I believe that US health care system can be better than now!!
The interview to Mr.schwartz
My name is Ah young Kim and my nickname is Jamie.
My question is "How do german students sustain their health?"
His answer is
" American students have got physical education until 14 years old, however germany students have got it until 18 years old. For example, physical education is like a tennis, basketball, football and etc. They are very active and required teamwork. Actually they play a match between town and town or school and school. Also they workout individually like a jogging. I think a germans have to change eating habits and workout more and more. "
That's all. Thank you^^
Good evening~

interview homework
HI. iam HONG
my question is what do you think about eating a dog?
Although i've never eaten a dog, other foreigner shoud resepect korean as culture. Because,It is not fair to describe cultures as inferior or superior. There is no right or wrong. There are only cultural differences. It’s not fair to call people barbarians. I don’t expect others to accept our customs and culture. I only expect them to learn our history and try to understand our culture.
^^ see ya
HYE HYEONG PARK ^^*
He thinks this problem is very complex. He seems to not satisfied USA insurance system. American pay when they meet a dictor , stay in a hospital and get a medicine. A lot of American don't have insurance system. So, he thinks that USA insurance system bad now.

i asked to professor Mr.Schwartz. he is very kind and i envy his leg kkkkkkk :)
my question was "Have you ever been to Korea?"
he said that "No" T.T
he just taught Korean student 3 years ago. so Mr. Schwartz heard Korea story through Korean student.

Party!



Leticia invited the students and I to a party on Thursday night. It was at Lucie's house. We all had a good time dancing. A Bosnian brought a hookah and some people smoked mint tobacco! That was a very unique experience for all of us.
My boyfriend enjoyed speaking to Koreans. He usually doesn't get a chance to talk to Koreans, and he was very interested in Korean culture . . . especially Starcraft! ;-)
I had a great time socializing with my wonderful students! It's nice to relax with people from different countries.

before coming to america, I was afraid of america life because I cannot spreak to english not at all. but, I'm trying to study english and activate my life. I'm not good at english yet, I'm going to try for 2 months.
and I traveled to chicago last week. and I experience america city culture, it was different life of muncie. so I'd like to trvel around many city in america.
My happy two weeks.
When i think i`ll go to america i`m fluttered and scared. As soon as arive i was dissapointed. Because this place looks rural scnery.
However this place is goodplace to study. For one week , we did many things. We did blood test, sopping and English test. So we were very busy. In new place i made new friends. Every weekends i went to church with friends. As second week we listen to the class. English class is enjoyable. When we have time we usually went wallmart to shopping. This week we went to Chicago to see the beutiful scenery. In there we saw the night view and leaved beutiful memories. We had a great time . Asulely How about to go to Chicago again?
Hi
My name is YESOL.
Thank you for inviting me, Ashley.
I'm going to write my diary.
I have been in Muncie about 2 week.
I like American life. (food, weather, people...)
Umm...
However, I often feel sad because I want to meet my parents and eat Korean food.
I like Korean life, too.
Then I didn't go Chicago and I made Korean food, dduk bokki, with freind of the dorm.
It was very very delicious.
I thought that I had good choice what I was staying in here.
I hope to tell you anything.
I will visit here and write my diary next time.
See you later.
At the USA
I was very tired. I took a flight for 15 hours.
At the first time I saw the school, I thought that it is really awesome.
It is really huge and beautiful. I like summur. It's weather is gorgeous. (The blue sky and cool wind)
When I toured the school the weather is really hot!!!
Afther that I was exhausted.
First week I went to the mall and wall mart. I like shopping.
I bought some foods and clothes. I think mits bus is convenience, because it is free to ride.
I took the exam. I did't know my grade. However I satisfied my class.
I like studying English. I can talk to foreigners.
Sometimes studying English is not easy, because I'm not a native speaker.
I make some friend in here. I do like my roommate dahee. She is very funny person.
She is 22-year-old. She is same age with me. We go together eat the breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Atrium foods are good. I think it is delicious. If I get a chance, I hope to cook the korean dish for Leticia and Ashley. I often go to the library. At the library I read some books and surfing the internet. Sometimes I met my friends at the online massenger.
I think English class is interesting. In Korea, most of the classtime we have to listen to the teachers lecture. However we can debate the health care system, sustaining the health and other tings in here.
Last weekend I went to the Chicago!!!! It was really awesome.
The city is really beatiful. There are skyscraper. I went to the field museum, adler astronomical obseratory. I watched the fireworks. I aet the foods at the taste of chicago.
I went to the art museum of chicago. I also went to the millenium park.
I went to the navy pier. I rode the sea dock.
When I came back the dorm, I did miss my country.
I missed my parents, brother, sister and nephew.
I should study for 7 weeks in here. I'll do my best.
