New Year drive to the countryside


Great display but those prices - ouch! Buying fruit in the countryside in Australia means that it is cheaper and fresher than in the supermarkets, but here in Kyongido you pay through the nose for the privilege.
New Year's day in Korea is a complex affair because there are literally two New Year celebrations, one according to the Western solar calender, and the other not actually occuring until mid-February, which is the traditional Lunar calender. I guess that's why the whole New Year celebration was a bit lacklustre with Koreans just making subdued toasts during the countdown on New Year's Eve. Friends tell me that Koreans are confused about which date they should celebrate on. January 1 seems more logical, but then Korea is probably already Westernized enough as it is.

One of my professors gave me a pen made from Japen. It looks very convenient because it has a pencil, red and black pen inside it and one of what you want to use comes out when you just turn the head of the pen.

The shape is also excellent so I believe it is very suited for you.

I'll keep it for you looking forward to handing it to you soon. I'm waiting for March to come soon. I've never thought
a winter vacation is too long.
I've never hated such a long vacation.

Therefore, we should live longer to gain a new feeling and experience we've never had.
Let's live longer together until 100years old. kiki~~~
