Good Bye and Welcome

The semester is rushing toward the end and our summer vacation is not far left. All students (Me, too, of course) are expecting for the vacation, but they are also struggling for the final tests. Although we are exciting about the end of school days, there is some sad news, too. Many students are leaving SPPA next semester and several people are my friends among them. I think almost half of the total students are going.

It is certain that most of seniors are going to University next semester. I didn’t have deep relationships with them, but it’s sad that they are going. I think it would feel little empty if they are gone. Some of my friends are going abroad, too. It is really sad to hear that. The reason for them to go is that our school can’t provide enough assistance for us and other international schools in foreign countries are better than SPPA. However, no matter what they say, I will do my best in SPPA, graduate it, and go good universities. Some teachers are going, too. Mr. Hale was already gone for his health problems. Ms. Heckler said she is going to Denmark after this semester. Mr. Peck is going to Australia to get his bachelor (or doctor)’s degree.

However, there will be new faces next semester. Mr. Carlin is already here for Mr. Hale’s empty seat. I heard that Ms. Stolerman’s brother is coming to school as a social science teacher. Also, a new physical education teacher will be here, too. Not only teachers, but many new students will come, too. I don’t know exactly, but I expect at least 30 new faces. Some are going and some are coming. I made a good relationship and I will make a good relationship.

Pressure on Final

The public enemy for all students...is the Final Test and it is coming to us right now! Especially, I think this semester's final will be more hard than last one. I took six classes last semester and there were only three final tests. I had two study halls, so I had more that enough time to study. However, I have four tests this semester and there are some problems now. I have two weeks until finals, but there are too much things to study!



First, let's look at the biology honors. Last unit finished on a week ago and the new chapter started on the last Tuesday. The new chapter is about the body system and there are six(!) systems. We are covering one system per one class... That's too much! We are taking quizzes every classes, too. The body system test is on this Friday and the study guide was presented yesterday. If I only focus on biology, I can do it, but I have another three subjects to study. The final test is on next Thursday and I have to study four chapters until then. It is truly OVERWHELMING!!!!!

Second, I have American literature. As well known, I think the hardest subject for ESLs is English. We are reading Shakespeare's The Taming of The Shrew(TTOTS) on the class recently. Ms. Stolerman said that the final test will be about the short story and TTOTS. I have the least grade on English now, so I have to success on the final to get certificate. Again, there is not much time left, but the teacher doesn't give us the study guide...

Next two things are Algebra 2 and US History. I have little concern about Algebra 2 because I am confident about the math and just have to study a little bit. Also, I can ask questions to Ms. Park who teaches after school math. For the US History, Ms. Heckler told us that she is busy for packing the baggages. So, the test will be easy. My concerns are Biology and English, and there is not much time to study...

Who do I want to be?

"Don't let enemies know my death..." This is the famous saying in Korea. Maybe almost 99 percents of Koreans might know who said this. The Korean General Lee Sun Sin said this when he died at the battle between Japanese before. After his death, his good minds and brave spirit influenced many people and make them admire him. I respect him very much, too, but my true idol is someone else. 

When we ask people that who is their hero, many people choose their spiritual supervisors or physical characters. You might confuse what I said, so I will explain it. Spiritual supervisors mean people who have extraordinary minds or wills that affect other members. Let's have an example. Albert Schweitzer was a good doctor who helped the uncivilized Africans in 1900s. His ability of the healing art was not the best or first-class, but his mind to help poor Africans was sacred and noble. Many people want and pursue Schweitzer’s that strong spirit. So, I am saying Schweitzer as the spiritual supervisor. Physical idol means the people who want to resemble their physical abilities. If a person said his icon is Wright brothers, he/she is admiring Wright’s skills to make planes; a person is not admiring their minds.

For the reason of this, I have two people who I want to resemble. First person is Mother Theresa. She was very dedicative woman who volunteered to help poor and sick people for her entire life. Not many people can follow her minds, but I want to pursue and always keep it in my mind. Next person is Young Do Lee in Korea. He is a Korean author who wrote several famous books such as Dragon Rasa and Polaris Rhapsody. His writings contain the philosophic factors and don’t forget humorous things, also. It is very clear that Mr. Lee’s works are very hard and have to use our brain to understand its true meanings. I want to write books like that, too. 

Hypocrite

We meet a lot of people when we are living in the world. To maintain a friendship with them or just make it a coincident is our choice. However, no matter what relationship people will keep, they don't express their real minds at first. They hide their real emotions behind their smiling face and friendly behavior. I don't like that, but that is people's familiar act and I usually do that, too. 

Unless you are really mad person or having some mental diseases, you will not show any bad feelings toward a person who meet first time. If you ask me about the reason for that, it is very complex. All I can say to you is that all people do that in the world and it is the basic of the politeness. Let's assume that you meet some person who is very ugly and violent. You will feel not good if you are a human. However, you don’t express that bad feeling when you first encounter this person. This behavior violates the truth and presents the false things. By the meaning of honest, this is not good. What should I do?

I will bring my own experience. When I was in Thornlea Secondary School in Canada, I could see various kinds of students. Whites, Blacks, Canadians, Iranians, Koreans, Chinese, Japanese, and etc. Cheerful, quiet, gloomy, ugly, pretty, handsome, violent, kind, and etc. All of these students were new to me and no matter how much I like them, I became their friends. The first facial expression that I showed to my friends at the first time was smiling. I thought blank face looks awkward and non confident at that time. I smiled to any students who talked with me and they smile, too. I smile to handsome blond guy and I smile to ugly disabled student. I lied, but these are white lies. I will keep doing this.

Battle Rations

Our team chose ‘Battle Ration’ as the topic of our project in US History class. I, Dean, Seri, Seojin, and Yoosoo were one team. We decided to research about the rations that soldiers ate during World War 2. United States, Japan, Britain, and Germany were our targets. Among them, I want to talk about United States’ rations this time.

The major United States army rations are divided into battle field rations and base rations. Then, battle rations are divided into three major rations which are C, D, and K rations. C rations are the food package for the squad or company. It was usually dropped by planes to airborne troops who fought inside the enemy line. These were like the big presents contain meat, D-ration, biscuits, candies, and cigarettes. D rations are simple rations that were regarded as the emergence rations such as chocolate bars and candies that contain high nutrients. K rations are the small food package for the individual soldiers. They contain breakfast, supper, and dinner. Most of these foods have extremely high nutrients to reach soldiers’ amount of energy needs. The base rations were like cafeteria. Soldiers had to eat in 20 minutes for other soldiers. Foods were most cheap cafeteria foods like hot dogs, chipped beef, hamburgers, beans, rice, corned beef, and bread. They could have water, milk, and coffee for beverage. Only base units could eat hot foods.

US battle ration is illegal to possess the army ration for normal civilian, so it was very hard to get. First, I went Nam Dae Moon market to search US field ration on Sunday with my parents. However, the place was close for Sunday, unfortunately! Then, I went to Itaewon. I was looking around for it for almost three hours and finally got it. I bought one box because the storekeeper said he doesn’t sell apiece. One box contained twelve C rations, so I ate one of it for dinner. Then, I got stomachache...

The first...(WHAT!!!)

What I most like to do in free time is reading books as you all know if you read all of my blogs. However, I couldn't remember the first fantasy book that I read and the feelings of it. So, I will present my feelings when I started to write my own book. 

It happened in Canada. Since I didn't study enough and played a lot, I was tired to play. I played games, watched animations, went outside with my friends, read books, and did whatever it seemed to be interest to me. (Reading books were the best among them... ha ha) One night, I was bored to do anything and just laid on the bed. My roommates (Two people, One is Sung Min in journalism class) gathered on my room and talking. Somehow, we were talking seriously about our future and jobs. When we decided to think about our interests, I thought about fantasy books, of course. Then, one of my roommates suggested me to write a book. Wow, I didn't think about that, but it was pretty attractive. Creating my own world that does not exist on the real life. It seemed so nice to me. 

That was the cause of my writing. I began to make the settings, backgrounds, characters, and morals of my book immediately. Once I began to write a book, I couldn’t get out from that. It was very hard to choose words and make sentences with them. I could understand authors’ difficulty and feelings. Despite of these problems, I was drawn more to it. I can’t describe that strange and vague sentiment that I feel when I am writing a book. I will say it as a pleasant and desire, but it is more than that. I just can’t explain it well. Anyway, my first book is incomplete. I read my book after few months which mean that I got more knowledge about fantasy. It was such a mess that I was even shamed! I couldn’t believe the book was created by me. So, I left it as an incomplete and I don’t mind to finish it. Until now, I am still writing books for my happiness. It’s much better than before now and is getting better. I can’t give up my hobby although I have to study.

The children's day for family

"May 5^th is the happy day, because it's children's day and I get a present!"...I said this until few years ago, though, I can't say this now. It's very sad to not get a gift from parents, but I feel a little pleasure for being matured. (Maybe, this is just what I feel) While I was in Canada, I didn't care about children's day because I am not a child anymore. It was same when I returned to Korea, too. However, it was different this time. Now, I can definitely say, "Children's day is the fun holiday!"

SPPA families went to Chung Ryue training center for field trip and athlete competition on May 5^th. Students could bring their families and friends to the trip. I brought my family to there. The park was on Suwon, near James’ (Pyung Jae) house. It was on a mountain and the big grass fields were stretched. Some tents were prepared for us at the top of the park. It has been a long time for me to play in a wide park. We arrived at 10 a.m. and we had a free time until 12 o’ clock. Some students gathered on the major field and started to play soccer. I was one of them, too. The weather was so fine. No, it was more than fine. The soft sun was glazing and cool breeze swept us. We played sports until the lunch and prepared for the main event after the lunch.

The sun was hotter than the morning. All families and teachers gathered at the major park and divided into two teams, white and blue. My family was in blue team. We wear blue shirts and stand on one side of the park. White team was standing on the other side of the park. We were going to play a team competition. Mr. Peck was the referee of the game and he explained it to the people. There were a lot of games such as tossing eggs, three legged race, and tug-of-war. I participated on some of them. The tug-of-war decided the winner of the team. Blue team won the competition! For the prize, we received snacks and a photo shot with the trophy. Also, we did a treasure hunt which was the most impact event. It was very pleasant children’s day.

My future plan

What am I doing next year? Well, only god will know it (although I don’t believe in god…). I am 10^th grader now and there are only two years left for me to go to university. To say the truth, I don’t think two years are long enough to waste time. In order to enroll good college, I have to study hard. So, I have a pretty solid plan for next semester.

The first thing that I have to focus on is school works. To be more specific, I will list my hopping schedule. The mandatory subjects are English literature 11, World History, Spanish 1-1, and Pre calculus honors. Other subjects that I want to take are Chemistry Honors and technology. Since there are not much AP classes in SPPA I have to take online courses. I also want a subject that is related to computer science, but there is no class like that. My goal is to get a high GPA. I have to get all A, because my grades in Canada was so low that I can’t even mention.

Next things to cover are Toefl and SAT. I already studied Toefl, but I didn’t take a real test yet. My highest score in practice test was 105. I will increase that into 110 and switch off of that thinking. One of my biggest concerns is SAT. I took the practice test and that was extremely hard! I could study Toefl by myself, but SAT was unlike with Toefl. So, I am attending to SAT academy. I will study hard and get at least 2200.

Also, there are other things to take care of. SAT2 subject tests, AP tests, and activities. (Wow, I realized how busy I am.) I am thinking about take Biology, Math2C, and Chemistry subject tests. I am studying Biology now. I didn’t think about the AP tests yet. There are so many variables and I couldn’t choose it. I can cover activities by several volunteer services and clubs. Well, I guess I have to study like mad man until I go college.

Can't live without...

There is one thing that I can’t live without. It has been not a long time since I got this, so I didn’t have this before. Now, I wonder how I lived without this before. Do you know what this is? It is iPod! The convenient portable electronic device that was made by the great company, Apple. It has the nickname of ‘Internet in my hand.’ Before I bought this, I said I can live without it somehow when my father talked about it. However, if I have to answer the same question, I will definitely say, “I will buy this!”

There are so many usages of iPod. It varies with how people use it and personality of people. The basic elements of iPod are video telephony, calendar, camera, weather, mail, memo, and so many other things that are useful in our daily life. I think the most of iPod users are using Safari which is the internet and Cacao Talk, the free messenger program. Some people use iPod for only the entertainments such as music, videos, and games. Some other people use for educations such as news, books, dictionaries, and American dramas. We can use all of these systems through the unique programs called applications. There is an application store on iPod, and people can download their favorite apps on there. There are so many applications in the app store.

For example of me, I usually use iPod to listen to music, camera, internet, books, navigations, and social networks. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is essential for me. I have been so familiar with this. For me, the most valuable tool is book system since I love book and I can read it everywhere, every time. The world is developing and more useful devices will come out. Just to look at the present, I think my most valuable physical possession is the iPod.

My delightful secrets

To say the truth, my grandfather was once a rich. He was the owner of a big business company which produced a huge profit. Therefore, there was no problem to live for my mother when she was young. According to my mother, my grandfather helped a lot of people by lending money and being a supporter. (Until now on, many people who were helped by my grandfather are having good relationships with him.) However, he made a mistake – I don’t know which mistake it is – and that led to a fail of the business. He lost all the money that he put into his company and the bank, but there were some money that was saved by grandmother. It happened when my mother was in high school……maybe. If that didn’t happen, I would live plentifully.

To say another truth, I have pretty enough money to live now. I have a ground that consists 3000m² from my grandfather. I had been there twice, and did not feel much impression with that. It was just deserted ground with some mountains and houses. The part of it was used as a road and my grandfather didn’t know it at all. Also, my grandmother’s aunt lived on America for her whole life with a Navy General. Her husband was dead, but a lot of annuity was provided for her. She already wrote her testament to give her house and whole fortune to me. I don’t know why she gives me a huge favor, but I am thanking her deeply.

There are several small secrets, too. I played clarinet first in Canada, my cousin (Older sister) is the first professional recorder player in Korea, I have about 500 e-books on my computer, and I am writing my own fantasy novel. I deal with my father to buy laptop with my pocket money, my father is the chief of his architecture company (Lab3), and I played chess as the representative of my school class in Korea before. These are just very little secrets, not even a secret, aren’t these?

Black and White in people's mind

Do you know what the kindest animal in the world is? It is a human being. You can see a dedicate nurse such as Nightingale on the battle place. Then, do you know what the cruelest animal in the world is? It is also a human being. Frightened soldiers kill their enemies without mercy. As we can see, human beings have both sides of the mind, good part and bad part, in their mind. Some people try to conceal their bad minds, but some other people just express their cruel thoughts. I think the ability to control these minds is important for us to live in this world.

We can see these distinctions on our daily life. When I was on my way back to home from the school several days ago, I saw something pleased. A lost child was crying and a young man was trying to calm and help him. Finally, he stayed with the child until child’s mother found her son. On the other hand, I could see not good things, too. Students from other schools threw their empty cans and spit out on the ground. They toss a boy’s backpack over the fence and ran away. The most horrible thing was that they threw several pack milks toward the cars or abandoned animals.

Also, my minds are divided into half. Sometimes, I suddenly want to help elder people who pull their cart with recyclable wastes or when I see homeless. I usually overcome my laziness and study hard until I sleep. I always treat my friends well. I can say these are my bright sides of my mind. However, when my parents go out for some reason, I can’t stop myself from sleeping or being lazy. Also, I don’t like to take care of my sister very much. These are dark sides of my mind. I am keep trying to control my minds and moods; it’s not an easy task. When I am able to fully overcome myself, then I will be the great person by the meaning of humanism and idealism because I can pursuit my dream without falling behind.

Wedding Anniversary

April 15 is the special day for me. Well, not exactly for me, but for my parents. It’s my parents’ wedding anniversary! Because this is the day when my father and mother got married, I can say this is an important day for me, too. Therefore, I arranged the time for our family despite of a busy schedule.

I went to the bakery to buy the cake for anniversary without informing my parents. I was preparing the surprise party with the cake only… However, I didn’t expect to get champagne from the bakery. When a baker asked me the purpose of the cake, I answered it’s for my parents’ wedding anniversary, then he gave me the champagne for free! Maybe that’s because our family is a regular customer of the bakery. Anyway, I hided it with the help of my grandmother and went out for the dinner.

Near my house, there is a family restaurant called ‘Seven Springs.’ My mother didn’t like there before because there were narrow selections of foods and they were unhealthy. However, after she heard that the restaurant is using the fresh and organic ingredients, she led us to there. It was not bad. The mood of the restaurant was changed, menu became varied, and foods were really GREEN. (I didn’t like this part though…) After we finished the meal, we returned to our house and I brought surprise gifts. They just love it! I didn’t know I was going to write about this on the blog, so I don’t have any photo. My family spent a wonderful time and my parents said it was their best wedding anniversary ever! (I will not upload my parents image because they don’t want me to…haha…)

The restaurant!

Inside the restaurant!

Why Fantasy is not a Book!

About a billion of people in the world are reading and enjoying fictions these days. Even now, while I am writing this blog entry, at least a million of people might read fantasy books. Many people usually entertained themselves by reading or seeing fictions which contain fantastical content. Even in past, people like to see public drama. From these, we can infer that fantasy and science fictions are popular books between human beings.

Europe is well known for people as the house of fantasy. This is because many famous fictions such as Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter were published in Europe. The governments in Europe accepted these novels as one type of literatures. So, fantasy writers can live magnificently and earn a lot of money if they hit a jackpot. However, this is only the news from foreign countries. In Korea, fictions are not treated as a pure literature. There are several reasons for that. 

This is famous author of Korea, Young Do Lee.

First, there are so many people who write fantasies. Even people who don’t know about fantasy are writing it with low-grade background. They just start it by impatient passion and illusions. These people are who delegitimize the honor and true value of fantasy. I think this should be fixed. Although many people say that the writing improves when the writer practices, people who are going to give up soon should not post their writings.

In addition, there are not unique fictions which have the characteristic of Korea. Except for few works such as The Bird which drink tears, most writings are similar with western fictions. They have the backgrounds of Lord of the Rings and the culture of The Chronicles of Narnia. This is the most important and worst reason that Korean fantasies are not admitted as the pure literature.

It is really hard to put one country’s view of the world on one writing. However, I will try to find out the true value of our country’s heritage and struggle for the future of Korean fantasies. 

Birthday Party!!!

It is always good to have birthday party for many reasons. The birthday itself means happy day because one life was born on that day, and family and friends are celebrating it. Also, to say the truth, another reason is that we can meet and play for proper cause. So, my friends met and played yesterday for proper reason.

April 8^th was the birthday of my friend, Brandon (Sung Keun). Thus, he held the party on next day which was Saturday. I had to go to the party since Brandon was one of my best friends, so I finished all of my academy home works on Friday. That was very tired but I did it. I planned to meet my friends early because I didn’t know where Brandon’s house is. I met with them on 8 am at the train station and went to his house. We arrived on about 9 am and went to PC room first. We played games for nearly two hours and went to have a real party.

There were about ten people at the party place include me. We ate Bul-go-gi and went down to karaoke which was located under the restaurant. Brandon blew the candle on the cake at there and we sang for him. Next, we played for an hour at karaoke. When we got out from there, we went to Brandon’s house. Since he was a gun maniac, there were a lot of guns at there. We picked up for each one and went to play survival game. I was embarrassed to play it first, because it looked silly and childish. However, as time passed, I realized that it was really fun. I could understand Brandon’s hobby and loving toward a gun. After that, I left to the academy.

What I want to say is that…BIRTHDAY PARTY IS FUN!!!

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

“Rain, rain, go away! Come again another day! All the family wants to play. Rain, rain, go away!”

This is very well known children’s song about people’s sad mind when the rain is coming. All the family wants to play, so they are saying to the rain to come again later. Well, although the rain is not a bad thing, I totally agree with them.

First, I will tell you about the realistic problems of the rain these days. When the rain is pouring down, people have to bring umbrellas outside. Then, there are a lot of chances to bump with other people because umbrellas take some space. It is so uncomfortable in the bus or subway to keep umbrellas, too. Also, the most important part is that the rain contains radioactive these days. The recent explosion of Japan nuclear power plant caused it. For example of Korea, the radioactive rain fell on today, July 4^th. The government is saying that it is not quite harmful, but I think this can be dangerous to human beings.

Personally, I just don’t like the rain much. It gives me the gloomy feelings and reminds me the bad memories. So, I fall in kind of depression when I stare at the pouring rain through the window. For the most movies or books, there are always the rain on the background when the story is grief and gloomy. I think the reasons of that might be similar with my emotions toward the rain. Not only this, I really hate to wet by the rain. It’s damp and cold when my cloths soak by water. When I stepped in the bus today, I made a mistake to fold the umbrella and the water from it soaks my pants. That was not good…

Therefore, I HATE THE RAIN!

World Invasion: Battle LA

I went to the Mega Box in the Coex on the day when our spring vacation started. I didn't have a plan at first, but I met with my friends and went to play. We ate the dinner and watched the movie called 'World Invasion.' It was the action and science fiction movie. The main characters' names were Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez, and Bridget Moynahan. Here is the basic plot of ‘World Invasion.’

The Earth is under attacking by unknown enemy. Famous countries such as London and New York were already destroyed. Los Angeles is the last place to block enemies’ attack on the west and the Los Angeles Marine is going to take the big role on that. For Sergeant Nantz, this is his last battle before he retires. He and his squad receive the mission to rescue civilians in the middle of enemy lines. However, they are trapped between enemies during the mission. How will they survive?

First, I liked the big scale and the story of this movie. Aliens were not so incredibly powerful that human beings could kill them and it didn’t end with the exhaust unlike other similar movies. Also, I was deeply moved during the movie when Nantz’s squads follow Nantz toward the enemy base. However, I couldn’t concentrate much on the movie because most cameras were shaking too much and the sound effect was too loud. These were the unpleasant parts.

In the meaning of that people struggle to survive from the attack by aliens, I can say ‘World Invasion’ is similar with ‘War of the Worlds.’ Maybe I can’t compare two movies because their genres are different. The first one is action and adventure, and the second one is drama and science fiction. However, if I have to tell about it, I think ‘World Invasion’ is much better than ‘War of the Worlds.’ In ‘War of the Worlds’, aliens are ridiculously strong and the movie ends so easily. Therefore, I will say ‘World Invasion is better.

Although the topic was common and the end was predictable, the story was very good and reverses were amazing. I will say this is the movie that people don’t mind to see it or not. However, I will recommend seeing this movie.

Stage! Nervous? Thrill!

Everyone might have at least one experience that you stand in front of some crowds and perform or talk for them. It doesn't matter how big audiences are. They are here to listen to you and watch you. You practiced a lot and already did a rehearsal on the empty spot. You go up to the stage and people's attention focus on you. Now, there is a problem. Your whole body is trembling and your head go on blank. You act in front of them without knowing what you are doing. Or you can feel it when there is a big test ahead of you. That is called nervous.

Most teens in Korea love to watch live K-pop TV programs such as "Music Center" (음악중심). Famous groups come up to the stage and do their performance. Well, some people can ask here, "How can they do that well? Are they not nervous?" Then, I will say, "Of course they are nervous!" They are practiced people and be on the stage a lot of times. That will help to resolve some tension, but there is more important thing that they do. They are enjoying that nervous! They want to feel more tension and they like the feeling that tickle your stomach. If you overcome the nervous, then it becomes thrill.

"People who are nervous will lose, but people who are thrill will win." This is the saying of Kim Tae Won who is the living legend guitarist of Korea. He said this on the MBC program called “Great Birth” (위대한 탄생) when his students were going to perform their last stage and test. I sympathized with this deeply because I also had same experience. When I was going to take the first US history test on school, I was very nervous. The result turned out to be terrible. However, on the final biology exam, I was more thrill than nervous. The score was very good. After this experience, I started to enjoy and overcome the feeling of nervous. Now, I don’t fail the test and keep a good grade.

Great Disaster-Japan

Japan suffers a lot of earthquakes from the past, so it has a better system about defending the earthquake effectively than other countries. Japan experienced big one and small one frequently, but there were always minimum damages. However, it was very different this time. Nearly 900 times to Haiti earthquake hit Japan. I thought we can only see that on a part of the movies or books. It was totally horrible!

On the afternoon of March 11^th, the magnitude of 9.0 earthquakes was occurred on Sendai, the Northeastern area of Japan. It was one of the most powerful earthquakes for recent 100 years. However, this was not the end. After approximately ten minutes, the mighty tsunami which contained the power of atomic bomb slammed Japan. The houses were swept by the wave, cars were floating around, and people didn’t know where to run. To make things worse, the nuclear power plant on Fukushima was exploded by the effect of the tsunami. The cooling device that surrounded the power plant got damage and it couldn’t function properly. Japanese government said the casualties were not found yet, but they think it might be a million. One Korean found dead, too. It is certain that Japan will struggle hard to recover the damage.

Despite of this great disaster, Japanese didn’t lose their calmness and handle the problem step by step. People didn’t fight each other for the lack of supplies, always seem optimistic, and said that they will restore soon. About 60 countries in the world took action to help Japan. For example of Korea, 102 rescuers and 12 trained dogs were sent to aid. In personal, I don’t like Japan very much because it is the country that conquered Korea and colonized it. However, I feel sorry for my neighboring country to hear such terrible news. I hope people in Japan to get hope and stand up again soon.
