Journal #1My best friend went California for studying a month ago and visited me last week. This was the first time that my friend stays in my house for long time. We went Manhattan everyday. Actually, I didn’t know how I read a map and which direction is right. However, my friend and I traveled everywhere only using map and subway map. Now, I have confidence to go Manhattan alone. I am not a coward now!Journal #2Last Saturday, I invited church’s friends. I want to treat them to lunch. Actually, one of my friends was supposed to take the interview of Five Town College and come to my house, so I asked other people to a lunch party. I bought good- quality steak and prepared a couple of dishes. I grilled the steak in the back yard and made strawberry salad, fried mushroom, and coconut shrimp. Everybody enjoyed food and evaluated that my food is so tasty. Their praise makes me happy.Journal #3I really like to watch musical shows, so I go on Broadway once a month. When my friend visited me from California last week, we went on Broadway because of watching a musical show. There is a TKTS that is ticket office. We can get 50% off tickets in TKTS on Broadway. We wanted to see ‘Hairspray’, but there aren’t enough tickets. Eventually, we bought ticket that is ‘Little Mermaid.’ Actually, we didn’t expect because we thought it is for children. However, it was intriguing and awesome. The little mermaid and other actors wore roller-skate and moved like they swam. I took all Disney musicals including Little Mermaid. The Lion King, Mary Poppins, and Little Mermaid are fantastic musical shows for me and I will never forget them.Journal#4My freind and I went The New York Botanical Garden in Blonx today. There is the orchid exhibition during April. We bought an annual ticket that we can visit freely during a year. Many orchids look very different and colors are also various. I found really cute orchid. It looked like a bird because it looks like to have eyes, hands, and wings.Journal #5The reason that I like to live in New York is shopping. I love to go shopping when I feel lonely or upset. If I get new clothes or accessories, I can get feeling of satisfaction with new stuffs. In front of my house, there is a big mall- Walt Whitman mall. I go this mall at least once a week. Unlike Korea, there are several big sales in U.S.A. These become to me good news. I usually get gorgeous outfits during the sale period.Journal #6My husband and I love to travel around the world.

We arrived at 10 at Bronx zoo and saw around the zoo. It was really exciting. We saw deer, flamingo, polar bear, and peacock. Peacock looked like an elegance woman. When it spread its wing, it was awesome. The colors were really gorgeous and I wanted to bring it in my back yard. We didn’t see the tigers because the weather was too hot. They might relax in the cool area.Journal 9My husband’s coworker invited my husband and me. His coworker is from India and he has 2 children.

As medical care systems are more developed, percentage of elderly people is increased. Theses days, there are more senior citizens than young generation in Korea. Therefore, the government suggested some solutions to live comfortably for elderly people. The government made several nursing homes and silver towns and gives some money. Furthermore, the government extended retirement age. There are several silver towns in my country. They are villages to care for senior people. Some senior citizens live in them, but some people can not use them due to expensive utility fees. In this case, their sons or daughters have to support their parents. The government gives a little money to elderly people. We call it- an old-age pension. Generally speaking, since most seniors retire from their jobs, they can not get regular incomee.
