zimzilbang

I went to a ‘zimzilbang’ with my friend and my mom.  I have been to a zimzilbang for the first time.  This fee was different according to the check-in time.  It was 6,000 won before P.M. 8:00 and 8,000 won after that time.  We were effort to arrive at there in time and really reached that counter at P.M. 7:50.  This zimzilbang was large scaled and composed of 5 floors.  First floor has counter and lockers.  Second floor and fifth floor have woman’ and man’ bathrooms respectively.  Third floor and fourth floor are full of various zimzilbangs, facilities and eating corners.  Also, because zimzilbangs consisted of lots of bangs with various temperatures, we could select one.  Above all, I was satisfied that I could roll about on ondol with simple and convenient clothes.  My friend was very excited because she could run to her heart’s content here and there.  My mother was contented with no many customers.  These days, I heard that the popularity of zimzilbang went down.  As expected, there were about 20~30 customers in this large building.  Many zimzilbangs appeared within this region and maybe they were under reconstruction.  My mom urged again and again.  “Because we came a zimzilbang, we should eat a delicious food.”  Though the necessity of this phrase was insufficient, we had to eat junk foods in the midnight.  We selected boiled eggs, instant noodle, fish paste and juice with fresh fruit among those junk foods.  Of curse, it was delicious because of eating in the midnight.  We came back home after midnight and could have a good sleep.

Yesterday I watched the movie 'I am Sam.'  The movie was about the love between a relative stupid dad, Sam and his daughter.  Sam loved his daughter so much.  Since he could read only one book, he couldn't read her other books.  He couldn't take care of her, so someone adopted her.  Sam missed her ever day.  He tried to bring her back.  What a pity!  Seeing the movie, I thought I was so happy to have normal parents.  I was very impressed with Sam's love.  I love to watch all kinds of movies whether the content is good or bad.  Some people say that bad movies can affect people negatively.  But I don't think so.  On the other hand, I think many movies showing violent scenes affect viewers more negatively.  Many criminals say that they have been influenced by bad movies.  I think it's because that  they can't distinguish reality from fantasy.  Movies help me do indirect experiences.  So it seems that watching movies is a helpful hobby since I can experience the world that I didn't know through movies.  Now a lot of new movies to be released next week.  I especially want to see “The Psychics”.  Heroine is a person with supernatural powers.  He is Dong-won Kang.  His nickname is tuna.  He is really handsome and clever.  Another heroine is Go-su, handsome, too.  He takes a role no ordinary man.  Dong-won’s supernatural power can’t make it only Go-su.  Anyway I am going to watch the movie at any cost.  That will be eye-pleasing.

happy festival

  Yesterday and day before yesterday was the school festival.  I did not know that but found out it gets noisy outside at night class.  Finished class, I went to lawn.  There were so many people.  On stage, many students show the performance.  The girls danced to lively the latest girl-group music.  They have been working together for the school festival for a month.  Everyone clapped in time to the music.  Another team performed cheerleader dance and worked the crowd up.  Others showed the quintessence of Korean traditional dance.  They have a graceful way of moving.  Major in fashion design students make creative clothes themselves.  And models appear on the runway putting them.  That was really wonderful.  But the best thing is the food prepared the department of food and nutrition student.  They give cup cakes, rice cake, gimbap, doughnut, fresh fruits and plum wine to us.  They were so delicious.  That is also their own food.  As the night deepened the weather is getting colder but onstage energy is getting hotter.  And finally, the long-waited singer had come.  They are “4MEN” the Korean three men soul group.  Their songs were so sweet and mellow.  They were moving many girl fans including me.  They reached out their hands and we trying to get his hand.  And they give their CD as a gift.  When they go singing all the songs we shouted for an encore.  Thankfully, they have acceded to our demands.  Lastly, they sang their hit song “Baby, baby” and left.  It was fun and satisfied festival so I felt happy.
