A typical Monday

Hello, Stephen,
How’s a weekend? I know, you blogged on Sunday. You’re really dedicated.
How a beautiful house!! Thank you for posting your house.
I think it’s a typical English house. I didn’t visit many English houses when I lived in Manchester. A friend lived with an English family. Her landlord invited me to have a dinner. That house is very similar with yours. It’s decorated white furniture. I thought English liked white things. do you? I love various treasures from many countries. It’s very unique and keeping a good memory at there. Actually I didn’t buy souvenir and took the photos I visited. Now I realized it’s a way to keep a good memory. I’ll buy it further. Maybe I’ll go to USA to see my friend this summer. I first have to get visa. It’s not easy to get tourist visa for USA. US government is very strict to permit it. I needs full documents they required.
It’s 11PM in Korea. I just came back home right now. I’ve finished washing dishes. I brought my lunch box today. It’s sometimes annoyed that I have think about lunch menu. It’s better to bring it. My mum doesn’t pack it for me because I don’t like to disturb. But it’s annoyed I have to pack it by myself.
I had a dinner with my colleagues. We had fried chicken with beer. We drank 3 pints and big dishes. I’m full. I don’t like to eat too much at evening because I can’t sleep well. My stomach doesn’t feel comfortable. Do you like to have a big dinner?
A friend came back to Seoul. He went to Vancouver for learning handicraft guitars. He played a guitar on his band several years. He made a concert at downtown music clubs. I haven’t been there unfortunately. But I listened to his performance by records. It’s not published just private recording. He finished a course at the academy. He wants to work at New York. I hope we get a job in there.
Also an English friend has an interview today in Manchester. It’s the first opportunity to have a permanent job. He’s exciting about it. What the important things at the interview in UK?
I hope he’s got a good job what he wants to work.

Sorry I feel so tired. I have to finish writing right now.

Have a good day,

Hi Soyoung, I hope you have a good time there. I don't have the minimal desire to go to the USA. I like very much people from there but it's up to me. It's the same when I go someone's house. I just go if I am invited. I don't feel confortable to go to a place where there is a lack of trust. I would feel like a intruder or unwished. I'm a very sensitive person to face some situations. I hope your friend succed in his interview. My advices are: 1st of all, to anticipate all the possible questions previously in his mind, make eye contact during the interview, pay attention to the body language, show he has emotional intelligence, be there on time, and of course go well dressed.

First of all belated Happy New Year to all. Well this New Year was Very special to me as i started my career in export and import business. I want to convey my gratitude to Soyoung as she helps people like me who are in the export, import business. She has written in very excellent english only she goes out of track somewhere in sentence and thats from my point of view. Perhaps i may be wrong but put your eye on it. As for my new year this year we went for Hiking and Bungy jumping It was very hectic still very exhilarating This new year has been imprinted in my heart and will never be wiped off and i don't want it too. At last once again belated happy new year to you all

Thanks for all your contributions. This blog has now closed and can no longer accept new comments.
