Seoul, Korea

I was born in Pusan, Korea, but I moved to Seoul. I love both of them, but I will write about Seoul, the capital city of Korea and where I spent my elementary school times, where I graduated elementary school and little bit of middle school.

I'm living in America now, but I used to live in Korea. The atmosphere in Korea is so bad; the air, the water, etc,. People are making them dirty even though they know that they are making those things bad. I hate it.
In Korea's government, there are serious problem going on about kicked out our president. There are too many irregularities and corruption. I hate it, too.

But I love Korea, because I remember the June in 2002. Korea was the host country of the World Cup at that year, and we won the forth medal among 32 countries. That was miracle. We never made it but we did it this time! We were one, the players and every people in Korea. We cheered the players extremely eagerly at everywhere. People met at every squares. I remember that day. Everything was red. I hope that everything would be fine if we remember the day...

Everything in America is by automobiles. American go to mall by car, go to the store just for milk by car, go to library by car.... and everything! Korean use car too, but not like American do. We don't go to the store by car just because of milk, and the store and the schools are right next to your apartment complex. Every students walk to their schools. I walked all the time in Korea. Maybe I love to walk so much more than other people, but everybody usually walk in Korea. I love to walk especially when there are lots of tree. It makes my feeling sooooooo cool and that's the way I calmed myself. There were those "tree roads" in the town and I REALLY enjoyed the roads. I walked the roads whenever I head to; the library, the plaza and everywhere.

I'm not living in Korea any more, but my 'mind' is still living in there. I think about every little thing that I missed. I miss Korea so much. Every little thing such as high apartment that has 15 stories or more, stores that 3 minutes walking far from home, small Korean food restaurant, Korean cloth brand, the amusement park, my favorite TV shows, my favorite actress, singers, after school academics, ice creams, every road that I walked, school uniforms, every little thing about school; teachers, education systems, camps, every day episodes, and FREINDS. OH MY GOD, I just miss them miss them and miss them!
I think about them and I have dream about them all the time.

You see, what I'm trying to say is, if you have it, you don't know how important it is... You don't know it because it's right beside you. But after it's gone, you finally notice it how important was it, and IS it. I found it when I came here and I regretted so badly. It's so sad, that you don't know until it's gone. I truly want you to thank for every little thing that you have now. Then, even if it's gone, you won't be sad as that much.

I just love Korea even about bad things. You know, it's hometown! And hometown has every thing. Especially those mementos....
