I am from Seoul, South Korea. I have never left Seoul since I was born. That picture is one of my favorite area in Seoul. When I liven in Korea, My friends and I went to there a lot to go shopping, watch the movies, eat and drink. That eara was always crowded with people and be as bright as a day even though it was very late. I have a lot of memoriswith my family and friends in that area. Also, I really enjoy watching the baseball game. I have been to Cellular Filed five times since I came here. Actually, I had not liked watching baseball before my younger brother started to play baseball. thesedays, my brother is playing baseball game with Taiwan, Japan, Thailand and Sri Lanka. I always watch the my brother's game on the Internet. Finally, I have been to Europe with my friend when I was a middle school student. Venice was very beautiful. The bulidings was sanked in the water and many people rode a barge. I was so impressed with Venice . I will go to Venice again if I get an opportunity. Thank you for reading!

TV


In America, MTV has played a huge role in America's pop culture. much of the fashion of young Americans come from what they see on MTV. Young people around the world will do and wear the exact same as what is done in America. For example, I watched MTV a lot when I was in Korea. I and my friends tired to buy same or similar to bags which were shown on MTV. Also, Almost all MTV shows does not respect to elders, and because of that, I believe that many young Americans do not respect people who are older than them because of what they have seen on the channel.

Glog

We walked around downtown asking people if they prefer high culture or pop culture and this is what they said. Also, the pictures represent American pop culture and things that Americans relate to. Most of it is very new, like pop culture, such as Trump Tower. However, some of it is older, like Macy's, but is still very important. The interviews were interesting because a few people we talked to had very different opinions. The girl did not like pop culture because it changes and nobody cares,so she likes high culture because things take a long time to become important. The guy was interesting because he things pop culture represents how humans think and act .

Technology



I cannot live without my cell phone because now cell phones are not only for calling somebody, but also we can use the internet, find directions, take pictures, and listen to music with them. Also, I have saved all of my family and friends' phone numbers in my cell phone, so I can contact with them very easily and quickly. However, when I lost my cell phone before, I was very uncomfotable. I could not contact my friends at all, and even I could not do my homework because I had saved everything in my phone. A cell phone is very important these days. If you do not have a cell phone, it would be very difficult to contact with your friends and family.

slumdog millionaire

This movie is a heroic story about a homeless boy who grows up and wins “Who Wants to be a Millionaire.” It begins with the main character Jamal answering questions in the “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” hot seat, and each question makes him remember some interesting story from his childhood. Each story is very entertaining, and his experiences give him the answers of the questions he is asked. While sitting in the hot seat, we learn about Jamal’s life and how he gets on the game show. Finding Latika after they are separated is the most important thing to him, so he does everything to try and do that. Even though he becomes a celebrity by winning the game show, all that can make Jamal happy is being with Latika, not money.

Movie 2

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Benjamin and Dasiy have loved each other since they were children, and seeing them who finally come together after many years might make you feel really good. It made me realize that sometimes we have to wait for what we truly want, but we cannot waste that time, we have to experience and live life as much as possible like Benjamin and Daisy while they were separated. Time is not unlimited, and this movie really makes you think about that. Moreover, the story and Benjamin’s makeup are very impressing. The movie is a little bit too long and has some unnecessary parts. However, this movie teaches us how time is important in our lives and asks us how old your body and mind are. If you are a person who is wasting time, I strongly recommend this movie.

Music



My favorite song is "Lucky" which is one of Jason Marz's third album in. It is a song by Jason Marz and Colbie Caillat. Not only the harmony of Marz and Caillat is great, but also the lyrics are very beautiful, so whenever I listen to this music, I feel so happy. I really recommend to you this song. However, My favorite singer is Elvis Presley. He is one of the most influential people in pop culture history in America and around the world. He had 30 number one hits and created Rock and Roll which is my favorite type of music. I love Rock and Roll music because I enjoy listening to the instruments. The instruments used are mainly the Guitar, Electric Bass, Drums, and sometimes harmonica and tambourine, and it took aspect of the Blues, Country music and Bluegrass.
