Muslim girl stoned to death

A teenage muslim girl was stoned to death because she participated the beauty contest in Ukraina. She was 19 years old and she liked wear fashionable clothes. She was missed and found to death after one week in the forest near her home. Police found three muslim teenage boys killed her by stone. The boys said to police they didn't regret to kill her because she ignored the laws of Sharia.

(Korea Herald)

When I frist knew this article, I was very shocked. How did teenage boys kill girl because she ignored the muslim law?? I think in Isram, women is not importan than animals. Guys treat women as their belongings. They said that they have strong belif in their religon Isram. Is it real that women is lower than men in Koran? I am not sure. We are both people, so both men and women they equally have rights to do what they want. However is Isram society men did whatever they want women just tolerated the life and situation. We need some help to improve their rights to vote, study and express their emotion freely.

Vino in Vila vs Califonia Kitchen

I am going to introduce two different styles of restaurant. One is Vino in Vila and the other is Califonia Kitchen. They are both very famous for their dishes, and always there are long waitings. Their main dish is pasta, pizza and salad. That means they are Western restaurant together.

The hall of Vino in Vila

However Vino in Vila, located in Sarae Village, is Italian restaurant. There are just one big floor and very quite, cozy and antic. And tax is already added in the price. One thing I don't like is there is no discount and membership card in Vino in Vila.

The enterance of CPK

In the other hand Califonia Kitchen is in near Gangnam station so it is easy to go with public transportation, and it is American casual restaurant. So it is more similar to family restaurant and there are many family with young children. They use whole building with 4 floors. The mood is very bright, fresh and vibrant. And tax will be added at the price. But they have many discount cards and their own membership card.



My Final Choice - Vino in Vila

I would recommend you Vino in Vila. Because they are more quite and cozy to enjoy your meal. I prefer quite and comfortable place for meal. And the price is almost same, so I think you can take your time comfortable with your family and friends in there. Vino in Vila is kind of unknow to everyone so it can be your hidding place.

SEOUL vs OSAKA

Gyeongbok palace - Main Palace

Osaka Palace

Seoul and Osaka have many similarities. First they were both capitals in the past. Seoul is still capital of Korea. Also they are very crowded. Seoul's population density is 17289 per km, and Osaka's is 11898 per km. In addition, they have palaces and rivers. Osaka is famous for its landmark, it is called "Osaka Place". It was built in 500 years ago, from the leaders commend. After complete the palace, Osaka became one of the important city in Japan again. Seoul has many palaces, bulit in Chosun dynasty, like Gyeongbokgung(main palace), Changgyeonggung and Deoksugung. Both cities are important for the history and they have many cultural assets. Also Seoul has its famous Han River, and Osaka is famous for Dotonbori River.

Chenggae stream

I think Seoul and Osaka's differenties are mainly from their environmental background. Seoul is surrounded from mountains like Mt.Bukhan, Mt.Gwanak and Mt.Dobong. In the other hand, Osaka is called for "City of Water"or "City of bridge". Osaka is mainly for water so there are so many bridges to cross the river. There are 840 bridges in Osaka.
And Seoul is a Megalropolis, it hosted 88 Olympic and became an international city, but Osaka is mainly for industry as well. So many Korean live Osaka. Because of the industry Osaka became a major traffic point. Osaka has international airport, Kansai airport, and many railway station like Shinkansen. In addition, Osaka has 2 major food, Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki. They both mainly made by octopus. Seoul is famous for food alley like Shindangdong Tteokdokki, and Shillimdong Sundae.
Two cities are close it take just 3 hours and we have ship from Busan to Osaka. I hope they will connect more.

Who will be responsible for death??

In modern society, many people suffer from loneliness. People are in the middle of others but they feel lonely. They can't be satisfied with their normal life and they decided suicide. I think this death is for society.

Because society mood makes people tough and unfriendly. Humankind is animal of relations. So they priority the relationship highly. However busy society which didn't understand the rest and concession makes people lonely. Even though they don't want the competiton but they have to compete to others over and over. They society system don't stop the competition.


Also society can affect the people. People want to behave like normal people. But the notion of normal people didn't fix yet. Therefore we have to copy others what they are doing. What most people or most influenced people does become the standard. So we are not free to society. When people said "I am free. I behave with myself", but he or she was already influenced unconciously. Society can rule the people.

So we have to think about what we can do to protech the loneliness death and suicide oneself. Who will be responsible for death?? If we can find the answer, but we already lose our friend or family. We have to notice who feel pain and heal their hurt together.

Who will be responsible for death??

        Many people are interested in Indivisualism and Egoism thesedays. They don't care about others and something didn't related with them. This situation makes "Loneliness Death". Loneliness death means people died without family or friend and leave the body after few days. Who will be responsible for loneliness death?? Is it related to somebody or society?? Someone's unconcern or mood of society who make this situation????

     I think the answer is people's unconcern. Society be made of people. People is the master of sociery. Therefore people can change society mood. Friendly "Hello" can prevent somebody's suicide or loneliness death. Little attention makes world more happy and warm. People need concern to live vital. Just short word like "How was today?" can change the world. We need each other. We can't live alone. Therefore we need more concern about each other. Then we can live more happy with our neighbors.     

Big problem : KAIST

I saw news article about the KAIST student' suicide 4 times in a row. I was wondering why they decided to suicide. It was very surprising new not just for me, maybe for everyone.

Thesedays, KAIST had many tough systems for students. For example, their school expenses were different for each students. The tuition belonged to their GPA exactly. Like someone who did well during last semester, his tuition is little, but someone whose GPA was not good, he had to take more tuition. Also KAIST didn't allow the second chance. If they got bad grade, it will remain forever. There is no second chance for students.

These kinds of strong competition systems were making students not friends just enemies. They felt lonely with lots of concerns and competitons. Now there are many voices to change school system in KAIST. I hope they solve the problem well and become warm-hearted Hall of the Truth.
