Book Summary


I’m going to talk about Mary. When Mary lived in India(On page 1 Chapter 1)“she was a very selfish, disagreeable, bad-tempered little girl.” She didn’t know about love, and can’t communicate with someone because her parents were too busy to care about Mary. One day she moved to her uncle’s house. From that time she changed a lot. Before she didn’t care about others, but after she moved she started to have concern about anything she saw. She was happier than before.
I think that this book is about the power of change. Until Chapter 1, I’m very sad for Mary. Her life was so miserable and gloomy. If I were Mary I couldn’t stand this situation. I never dreamed my parents died. When she overcame her selfish and desperate situation I’m very surprised to her. I got two messages from this story. One is no matter how miserable I am I can stand about my difficulty. So, don’t be afraid. Another is friend. Mary’s effort was very wonderful, but except her friends like Dickon, Kamala and Martha, Mary may feel lonely as ever. I want to be a good friend to somebody. I will do. While reading this book I wish everyone to be happy because almost everyone had pain. Colin became healthier and had open mind. Mr Craven was too. When he saw his son’s walking he got great happiness. I’m very touched by scene. If someone suffer hard situation I’ll recommend this book.

Mexico City and Taipei – Food(Snack)



Mexico City


I would like to tell you about Mexico’s typical snack, ‘Nacho’. “Nacho is a Mexican dish of tortilla chips covered with cheese or cheese-based sauce, often served as a snack” (wikipedia). When you eat the ‘Nacho’, you can feel something crispy and nutty. 1943, first Nacho was made by Ignacio Nacho Anaya. It is the original nacho consisted of fried corn tortillas covered with melted cheddar cheese and sliced jalapeño peppers. I had no idea that Nacho has so many, various recipes. In making the Nacho, various toppings are included. For example black beans, cilantro, refried beans, pinto beans, chili con carne, meat, olives, pickles, tomatoes, garlic, onions, elote and scallions are typical toppings. Nacho is generally served as appetizers at the bar or restaurant in U. S and elsewhere. Nacho also has the cheese sauce, if you eat Nacho with sauce, it can add flavor to Nacho. The Nacho and its cheese sauce is excellent combination.


Taipei


I want to tell you about Stinky Tofu. This is a famous snack in Taipei. Almost every person in earth know this food because Stinky Tofu has serious stench.
Although many people know this Stinky Tofu, but they are afraid to eat Stinky Tofu. Stinky Tofu is the seven odour food of the world. I think Stinky Tofu is the best stench food in the world. Actually Stinky Tofu means bad smell in Chinese. To make Stinky Tofu, they ferment seafood, herb and vegetables to make salt water. Then soak the Tofu into salt water for a day or over a month. This is why Stinky Tofu has serious stench. Stinky Tofu exude like Natto and has very soft texture, so especially aged people like to eat Stinky Tofu. "According to folk stories, stinky tofu was invented by a person named Wang Zhi He (王致和) in the Qing dynasty. However the versions of the exact story are quite varied"(wikipedia) . Thanks to a man, we can see the most amazing food in the world. We can eat Stinky Tofu as four cooking ways. There are deep fried Stinky Tofu, spicy Stinky Tofu, soft Stinky Tofu and Stinky Tofu shashlik. One amazing fact, Stinky Tofu is a healthy food in Taipei. Stinky Tofu has lots of zymogen, so Stinky Tofu is representative fermented food in Taipei.


Mexico City Food Comparison to Taipei Food.


I compared Mexico’s Nacho with Taiwan’s Stinky Tofu. First of all, the two things are regarded as snack in each country, but these have completely opposite characteristics. In part of smell, Stinky Tofu is stinker than Nacho. When I was young I had smelled the Stinky Tofu, I couldn’t forget the smell until now. In part of texture, Nacho is tougher to bite than Stinky Tofu. I think Nacho is more popular snack than Stinky Tofu due to the smell. In my opinion, however, cooking well the Stinky Tofu with proper toppings, it is possible to be a best food in kinds of Tofu. As a result the two snacks are all tasty.


Taipei Food Comparison to Mexico City Food.


Nacho and Stinky Tofu is the same in part of snack, but they have difficult features. First, I think Stinky Tofu is healthier snack than Nacho, because Stinky Tofu has lots of zymogen. Secondly, Stinky Tofu's history is longer than Nacho. Finally, Stinky Tofu has more various cooking ways than Nacho. As you know, Nacho is only fried. I think that the food(snack) represent the country, so if you taste two snacks you can feel another attraction.

Research Chinatown


Chinatown was established by the Chinese in 1883. People came to Korea during war time, and they were concentrated in Incheon. They had to earn money to raise their children. They built a town that could experience Chinese culture. They have tried to remember their tradition and made those things to product. There are Mooncake, Black noodle, Chinese dress and Mask dance. They started to sell food and play performance. Chinatown was becoming as a basement to Chinese laborer. In this moment Korean got interest in Chinese culture. “It was also known as a tourist destination as specified in the Maintenance Section of Modern Cultural Tourism Zone in Chinatown and the Ministry of Culture in 2001”


(ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/).


My experience in Chinatown


I have been to Chinatown when I was a child. It was so fantastic that I can remember it very clearly. I remember that there were many attractions and amazing things. It was a very good place to experience Chinese culture. I have gotten impression on two things, Moon cake and Mask dance. Moon cake is a kind of bread, the Chinese have eaten Moon cake with watching full moon for good luck at their thanksgiving day. Mask dance is a dance with wearing horrible mask, the Chinese have danced for centuries because they believe that this dance can exterminate ghost. Wearing horrible mask is a key point of this dance. They have thought that the effect gets larger if the mask is more horrible. I also have been to a Chinese souvenir shop. I bought Chinese dress that I still have in my wardrobe. This memory is very wonderful to me. I surely admit that this experience has influenced  me. I think it is good to my children to experience foreign culture.

Summer Vacation
In summer vacation I experienced various things. During the vacation I studied my major, climbed a mountain, played with my friends. I had two large memories. First, I had overseas trip with my family. It made me excited a few months ago. We went to the Philippines. I think that it was so hot and had wet weather. Fortunately, the weather was not hotter than Korea. We went to famous tourist attractions. The sights were good and the people were really nice.  I enjoyed skin scuba and snorkeling. It  saw various fish and seaweed. Seafood dish was also very nice. Although dishes were a bit salty, type of fish and taste was great. I wanted to enjoy this tour for a month. It’s a shame that I stayed for a week. I want to go to the Philippines with my family or friends again. Second, my family moved to another city. We lived in Incheon for fifteen years. So I did not want to go to another city, but we had to go. From then I couldn’t see my friends. It made me depressed. I felt strange about everything.
First of all I didn’t know the way to my new home. For example, what number of bus I had to take. I had many difficulties because of moving to a new home. This summer vacation was not only good experiences, but also bad things.

LEE SU RAN

MON 11:00~1:00

My name is Lee Su Ran. I’m twenty-one years old. I have four family members. I’m from Incheon in Korea. I would like to tell you about my hometown. My hometown has a lot of beautiful places. First, In Incheon there are seas, and  we can go on special rides in the seas. How wonderful it is! I think it’s a sight you can’t see anywhere else. This place is called Wolmido Island, and I recommend this place to lovers. The seas are made of flat mud, and has sea creatures. This is a great place for children and families. Second, Incheon is famous for seafood and has markets for marine products because Incheon has many seas. People who live in near the Incheon almost come to here to buy seafood. Third, Incheon has an area called  China foods(Noodles with Black Soybean Sauce, Chinese mandu etc). Also, you can experience China traditional games. When I was young, I often went to Chinatown with my family, and I liked to go there. Even now I sometimes go there with my friends. Last, Incheon is near Seoul. As you know Seoul is the capital city of Korea, so there are stores and central buildings. We can go to Seoul by subway, it takes only twenty minutes. I’m satisfied with this fact. I hope you get to visit my hometown-Incheon!
