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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.
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. :)

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
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.

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.

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.
