Universal Studios

I went to Universal Studios. Weather was very nice. I have been there three times, so I tried few things. I enjoyed with my two friends. They are a couple, so I felt little bit lonely. Before entering at gate, we ate breakfast. after that, we went to Jurassic Park directly because I like falling ship. We liked Mummy and Jurassic Park, so we took them two times. Actually, I didn't like Mummy because of sickness. I was wet in Waterworld because I sat in wet zone, but it is not too much because we prepared a towel to defend water like a shield. I walked a lot, so I was so hungry, but we didn't have a time to eat something. Trip in Universal Studios was so fun and lonely.

Who Decides Whether A Person is Innocent or Guilty?






In Korea, just judges decide whether a person is innocent or guilty. Lawyers defend defendants, and prosecutors attack defendants with evidences. Judges watch their combat, then judges decide. At that time, judges have to tell a defendant reasons. If a defendant disagrees about judge's decision, they can appeal to the high court. In Korea, jurors can't do anything. They don't have competence.

My Weekend

On weekend, I worked in the mall almost all day. I sell hair accessories. I had a lot of customers, so I was so busy. I tried them hair pins and wigs on their hair, even they didn't like that because I had to sell a lot, so I pressured them to buy a stuff. Some customer's hair was really disgusting. One customer had black bugs on her hair, so I gave up selling to her. Usually customers are taller than me, so I had to stand by toes. Some customers were very nice, but sometimes, I met bad customers too. Bad customer means that they tried many stuffs for a long time, but they didn't get anything. During 10hours, I ate just a prezel, and I couldn't sit because my boss doesn't like that, so after standing 8hours, I felt electricity on my legs. I was so tired, but it was fun.

I had to turned left, but that was yield left turn. When green light appeared, I entered the intersection. Then yellow light appeared, so I turned left, but I didn't see forward cars. When I turned left, one car came to me fast. I thought that car will stop, but he didn't stop, and I didn't stop, too. We just drove. Finally, we bumped each other. I was so afraid because it was first time to me, and here is not my country. I cried again.

Journal Entry #3

A person who has made a difference : Grand King Sejong.

Grand King Sejong was a king in korea.
He created Korean alphabet, Hangul in 1443.
Many people disagreed to make Korean letter, but he wanted everyone can use a letter easily. We had used Chinese letter at that time, but Chinese letter was difficult to many people because Chinese and Koreans use different language. Hangul is a scientific and convenient letter, and if we see a letter, we can read correctly even we've never seen the word before. Hangul has 10 vowels and 14 consonant.
From that time, most people could use a letter easily.
