Looking inside of the USA ...

As you know Iowa City has a wonderful nature environment. All kind of trees, houses, and several small or big parks are arranged very well. Also clouds above the sky really look like cotton candies." So pretty." So when I walk around the town I really feel good because of the beautiful landscapes. If I were a painter I could compose a picture with all scenery. I think nature of Korea is similar to the USs but things that make up the nature are smaller than America.

Now I'd like to talk other similarities and differences between Korea and US. When I went to the Iowa City Public Library, I was surprised, because the floor of the library is made by materials for absorbing sound. So I could walk without concerning for making noise with my footstep sound. If we were at the Korean library we would be more careful when we needed to move other place, because the floor material is usually made by wood or tile. One of my pleasures for visiting the library is meeting children. In the Iowa City Public library , there is a section for children. They can choose many kinds of books for children with their parents. They can read books in a good condition since there are some comfortable sofas. The library seems to help make happy family relationships. The public library where I was in Korea does not have a special section for children. I hope that in a few years, every Korean library will equip some section for children.The other thing that I felt from the library, was that many old people visit the library to read books or magazines. In Korea, the old come to the library to learn something like calligraphy, computer skills and drawing a picture. The library provides them education and leisure time.

Generally the facilities of public buildings are clean and convenient. Whenever I go to the rest room, I do not need to make a wry face. If you visit Korea you will experience clean facilities too.

The first greeting with Cedar rapids airport.

Before coming here in Iowa city, I had to prepare lots of information from check in flight to

housing. Preparing for all the process to departure made me really excited since I had never

been to abroad. I got most of the information from Cyworld online club meeting for the university of

Iowa Korean students. By the departuring day, I questioned someone who had helped me through

online contact, wheather I can carry digital camera into the airplane or not. Finally I got on in the

Cedar rapids airport against all odds. My original plan was riding taxi to Pam's house who is my

landlord. But at the airoport I met many korean students who were waiting for their friends. Luckily I

could receive riding. Also I saw someone who had help me a lot. I felt delighted so much at

greeting the unexpected person. All people who were in there were nice and gentle. I spend the

first night in the new country like that. I will nerver forget. Thank you all.

About me

Hello. Guys

Welcome to my blog.~!

Sometimes I imagine sleeping and playing on the clouds, flying whole universe without wings and talking with a small bird.

My future dream is a language pathologist. In Korea I studied language pathology just one semester in the graduate university. So I have many subjects to study about language pathology. It is a amazing fact that there aren't any same vocal chords.

Also I like to learn something new. Could you tell me about you?
