Few hours ago, I just went to gym in Shanghai and ran 5km on running machine while watching Korean traditional sop drama called ‘Lee San’ (이산). Except that I have to train for the marathon, the only reason I like to go to gym is because I do not feel homesick in the gym. It might sound weird but I would say, ‘Physical’ gym in Shanghai is built for Korean. So many Korean music is played across the hall starting from ‘Nobody’ by Wondergirls to ‘Candy’ of HOT. (This song was big hit when I was 12!!-well I am 23 now…) So many Korean songs are played that it is even rare to hear Chinese song in that gym. For that reason I stopped carrying my personal MP3.
(2pm)-I think….

Thanks to the Hanrye (한류-Korea Trend), I feel less homesick in this big city, Shanghai. Also I feel how Korea is influencing their neighboring countries which lead to their economic growth due to its success. When Chinese find out that I am Korean, they have so many questions about Korea sop drama. (Sometimes I don’t even know which drama they are talking about-Chinese really watch Korean drama A LOT!!)
Whenever I hear Korean music on the street, seeing Korean actor posted on metro station in Shanghai, I cannot help feeling proud of being Korean. Go Korea!

Negociating is a game but sometimes I don’t prefer to start negociation because I know that I will definetely loose. Especially when it comes to western interest like antiques
In some cases I got big fun! Good bargain btw
