Its pretty annoying to go back home during special holidays like Chuseok. Traffic is crazy during this period. So, this time, I gave up on going back home. Instead Ill go another day. Its a better idea to ENJOY the time more without those holiday problems. However, giving up on going back home doesnt mean giving up on Chuseok. I made an appointment with my friends who live in Cheonan to enjoy and celebrate Chuseok together. We made Songpyeon and Kimbab. It was really fun. Can you imagine a filling consisting of bananas, cookies, coco powder and sugar all mixed together? It was a challenge. We gave up on eating them in the end but we enjoyed cooking anyway. And, fortunately the Kimbab was successful. (Kimbab is much easier to make than Songpyeon, isnt it?) Both the taste and shape were good! Even though I had a great time with my friends I was still a little disappointed that I couldnt spend time with my family. One of my foreign friends told me that it seems like young people nowadays dont really care about tradition in Korea and its a pity. I agree with him. Im not talking about being old-fashioned. Just that its definitely important to keep a relationship with our family and relatives. Perhaps its more meaningful because we live apart from our family and we dont have many chances to meet together during the semester. Lets not miss the chance to be with those we hold dear. I hope you had a great Chuseok. =)

When I first went to Taiwan , I was surprised. A number of Taiwanese were riding motorcycles. In addition, Taiwon looked like Korea in the 1990s with so much construction underway. Interestingly, my tour guide told us that they do not paint their buildings anymore because of Taiwans high humidity that breaks the paint down in as little as ten tears. However the semiconductor seminar was completely different. It was very clean and I learned the details of the latest specialty technology developed by Samsung Cheil industry which is making a semiconductor-based wafer. I didnt understand the pretreatment process; it was interesting but very difficult. I enjoyed learning about the semiconductor industry, in addition, the second highest building in the world Taipei 101 building was great to see, I was very surprised.
