- Everyone in my family, except me, went to my grandmother's house

- I'm the only one who didn't visit her

- To be honest, I don't know her age, maybe she is around 84

- I don't want live long. Because Globally the earth is no longer a suitable environment to live in. i mean it has too many issues nowadays. For example, global warming, collective depression, alienation phenomenon of weak, etc

 

- I used to say my age in Korean rules before working at my current job. but after i get this job, i say my age in global way. Because almost my colleagues are not Korean. Of course, everyone is Korean in my branch, but my main communication colleagues are not them.

Four Superstitions Many People Believe | Engoo Daily News

Whether it's lucky numbers or unlucky animals, many people believe in superstitions.

- I generally believe in superstition, but not about animals. because they never hold onto bad feeling before people harm them first : 나는 대체적으로 미신을 믿지만, 동물에 대해서는 안믿어. 왜냐면 그들은 먼저 악의를 갖지 않아 사람이 먼저 해치기전에

- The most famous superstition in Korea is related to geography. My ancestors believed that (the place)where the coffin is buried is linked to a fortune of their descendants

- But here is the problem. many coffins were moved by vicious Japanese without any consent of their descendants. It means they ruined my country's holy superstition.

- These are not rampant concepts here. so i don't believe them : 그것들은 여기서 만연한 개념이 아니라, 난 안믿어요

- I had no luck at that time. but everything has changed now.

- I've seen the situation of gay couple dating  . but i think we don't have(here "we" only include straight people) a right to argue about this topic. because that propensity is natural, it cannot be changed by power or surgery
