The things what I like to show you
Hello, everyone,
How’re you?
It’s cloudy and still cold in Korea. It was a little bit warm last night, I thought the temperature will be up tomorrow. But it’s still freezing.
My younger sister, lives with me, catch a cold from last week. Maybe it’s flu because she is really weak as like she can’t go for work today. My mum cooked a vegetable soup with rice and she only ate it. She went to the hospital again. She’s got a stomach problem a month ago and my mum worried about her health. Maybe she has to take a rest at home for a while until she’s recovered.
My mum is a housewife now. She relaxed at home after came back home from Beijing. She knows about her healthy condition more than me and I don’t need to ask her to take a rest more and more. She’s outgoing and cheerful personality. She went to her sister’s house the day after she arrived at home. she liked to give gifts for her sister. My mum has 3 sisters. The eldest sister lives in Anyang, it takes 1hour by bus from my home. She is now 70 years old. My grand parents died early that she was 15 years old. Her eldest sister took care of her as a mum after parents passed away.
I like to go the palaces, Kyung Bok kung and Chang Kyung Kung. We have the palaces in Seoul. Seoul is the capital of Korea from the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). The palace, Kyung Bok Kung was built on 1394 when the Joseon Dynasty established. It was fired several times by attacks and wars. It rebuilt again. There are several houses, Kings of the Joseon dynasty lived in. The dynasty period was closed after finished the Joseon dynasty. Now we don’t have the king any more.
Now nobody lives in there and it’s for tourist. Korean history remains on that palace.
The garden, Chang Kyung Kung is a beautiful and lovely place. It’s full of the flowers in the spring and trees are changed the colors to yellow and red in the autumn. It’s very impressed that white snow is on the tiled roof when you visit there in the winter.
I’m uploading the photos I took at Seoul, Bejing and Osaka. Most western people think Far East Asian cultures are similar or same but it’s not true. Each country has own precious treasures and architecture. 
I visisted Forbidden CIty in Beijing in 2004.
I went to Osaka last summer and visited Osaka castle. 
I took them at Kyung Bok Kung in 2003.

Hello, Lee, It is nice to know the weather in Korea. I live in Islamabad, which is the Capital of Pakistan. It is beautiful.We also have cold weather over here. It is going in minus degrees from the last 2 weeks. In the morning we see frost on the grass and we have snow fall in our northern areas. I am sorry for your sister's illness. It is very common in winter to get flue. However, the hot drinks may help her. I saw your photographs you are looking great especially your smile. You love your mom very much. All the moms are like her. Please take care of her.Moms are the gift of God their love is unconditional. I thank to BBC learning english programme, which makes us able to communicate and exchange our views. best regards Farida
Hi Soyoung, I just know Seoul from tv.I remember the Seoul Olympic Games. They always show the city where will be the games in the beinning. The city seems to be really fantastic. I remember Ben Johnson who lost the gold medal. I don't know exactly why but it was a scandal by the time.
