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.
