Thanksgiving day

It supposed to be a great holiday if I would not have any homework.
Unfortunately, I have. :(

In my country, there is a holiday called "Chuseok" just like Thankgiving day.
People used to celebrate harvest and appreciate ancestors.
Nowdays, the original meaning faded.
It is a time to relatives getting together, and hanging out.

Instead of Turkey, there is a special food "Songpyeon" which is a kind of Korean cake made of rice.

I am just looking forword to shopping on black Friday.

Living without a car

It's hard to live in LA without a car.
I feel like spending too much time to wait buses.
The BBB Line14, which I should take to come home, runs 30 minutes one bus on weekend.
When I talked about it to my friends, they said "Are you living in a rural area or something?"
I had some errands to run today. Wating buses took more time than shopping.
If I can afford to drive a car, I would get no more complaints.
There are a lot of good things in the US, but the public transportation system is not one of them.(except New York)

Math!!

Today, I took the third(!) math exam. Screwed up...

The chapters are about trigonometric which is the most difficult part for me.
I learned trigonometric about 5years ago when I was a high school student.
I disliked it, and did not study hard enough.

After all, I had to learn it again in the US, but it was still challenge



I don't know that somebody meant in fun to solve the questions.

That's funny. Well done Peter!! :)

Foods in the US

I don't like to cook, but I have to as far as I live in the US by myself.
From time to time, I miss my mother's cooking.

The good thing that I live in LA is I can eat various foods all over the world.
Itallian, Mexican, Tai, Indian etc. My favorite?

1. taco with salsa sauce~ Yummy

2. Pat tai

There are a lot of hamburger chains as well.

I don't know the meaning of ' in and out' unless I stay here.
