I
have lived here Pusan for 20 years. I want to talk about my hobby. When I was
in middle school, my hobby was collecting stamps. However, I stopped several
years ago. Now, my hobby is watching the movies. The genres I like are comedy
and romance. The latest movie I watched was Coyote
Ugly. It was a happy-end story and interesting. And I liked Beethoven, Mrs. Dautfier, and Scary
Movie. Scary Movie is complexion
of horror and comedy. It is a parody on Matrix
and I Know What You Did Last Summer.
Bae, Eun-jin hyasins3@hanmail.net
I'm
22 years old. I like to read books. But to be frank with you, I have not been
reading books since I entered this university. So this autumn, I decided to read
books again. I'm reading 'Tae bak san mak' now. It is written by Joe Jung-rae.
I like him. His literary ability is good, and his literary form and words are
very natural. I think that he represents Korean emotion very well. Besides, I
like listening to music, too. I like melodious music better than rap music. But
sometimes, I listen to rock music when I am sad or depressed.
Kim, Ju-young daenggi79@hanmail.net
My
name is Kim, Ju-young. I'm twenty-two years old. As for me, I want to talk
about my interests and hobbies first. My favorite affair is cooking and eating
delicious and peculiar foods. To be frank, I'm poor at cooking, but I like
doing it. When the foods are cooked quite well, I'm so happy. I require praise
for my skill from my family after recommending them to try some. My family
sometimes suffers from my experiments. I plan to study baking and to get a
baking license next winter vacation; then I will take a trip and will learn
food culture of other countries.
Hello! I'm Sang-mi Ch'oi, a sophomore majoring in English Literature
and Linguistics at Pusan National University. I'm lively. If you meet me for
the first time, you will think that I look shy and boring. But with time you
will find that I am a cheerful woman. These days, I am devoted to reading
Murakami Haruki’s (a Japanese writer) novels. They are easy to read and
peculiar. He seems to know the heart and mind of the young. And I also love The Great Gatsby and The Catcher in the Rye. I want to be a
writer that can write a wonderful novel like those works.
Lee, Mi-Young frost1979@hanmail.net
Hi!
Welcome to our world! My name is Lee Mi-Young and I'm a junior.
I'm
thinking of a saying: Time flies. It is incredible that I'm already 22. (Of
course, it is Korean age.) When I entered the university, I was really excited
but the excitement gradually disappeared. I've been exhausted due to the
squeezing work, such as homework(!) and tests. But, nowadays, I think I'm
adjusted to my situation, and I'm preparing my future life. It is more
efficient than wasting time complaining about my life. Well, I believe people
who visit this homepage will make their lives brightly and beautifully. Have a
nice day!
Kim, Hee-jin kim_0409@yahoo.com
My
name is Kim Hee-jin. I am an extrovert. Before entering the university, I was such
an introvert that it took some time for me to become close to any person.
However, I have tried to overcome my
weakness
during my campus life through extracurricular works. Now I think I do not lack
sociability any longer. I like meeting new faces. There are always a lot of
people around me listening to my insightful comments. I am sociable and
gregarious. I express myself well and communicate effectively.
Hi,there!
My name is Jung Ji-youn and it's very nice to meet you! I like my campus life
here in Korea, but if you have any opportunity of inviting a foreign friend,
don't forget me~^^ What I like to do during my leisure time is surfing the
Internet or e-mailing. My favorites are pizza (the most!!), hamburger, coke,
salad, etc. It's too bad that I am not good at plays dealing with balls. I hope
to make lots of friends out there. So don't ever hesitate or be afraid of being
my friend!
Park, Seong-il (Martain) lodger7@hanmail.net
I
consider two factors as my best property: "time", which is given to
me during the youth, and "a challenge". With my youth, I can
challenge something I’m really anxious about. I always love to get into a new
world and to try something, because I can feel I'm alive as I do so. Sometimes,
I'm afraid that my youth will have gone away before I finish what I really like
to do. There are so many things that I must do, for instance, I have to meet
many kinds of people, and I have to read many necessary books, ...
Hi!
My name is Dana. ^^ If you miss me, you will miss the world!! Please catch me
and then you will be happy!! *^^*
Kim, Min-sung jeankms@hanmail.net
My nickname is Jean. Let me tell you the reason why I chose my nickname. I'm a
member of the DRAMA club in the English department (my major). When I was a
freshman, I participated in the annual summer performance of 'PLAZA SUITE'. I
had valuable experience preparing the play with many people. It was a little
hard to practice every morning in the hot weather. But after finishing the play
successfully, I felt the value of sweat. In the play, my name was Jean. So I
have liked that nickname ever since. Nowadays, I feel my lack of English skills.
But I will try slowly and steadily.
I'm
Jay, and I'm also a "wannabe" Joycean (one of ardent fans of James
Joyce). At the entrance of a long, slumberous winter, there are a couple
of things that comes to my mind from time to time: several poems of Frost,
snow-covered forests in New England, and the conflict between
the inclination toward hibernation and the desire of awakening.
These days, I often imagine myself walking around those forests in New England,
as Frost's traveler did in "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening".
And I feel I could find my renewed motivation and inspiration for turning over
a new leaf there.
Lee, Eun-ju 01eunju@hanmail.net
Hello!
I'm Lee, Eun-ju. Happy to meet you in the cyber world. I will tell you about my
favorite characters in books. Mark Twain said 'among all of the little girls in
English books, Ann (Ann of Green-gables) is the loveliest girl.' I absolutely
agree with him. And I will tell you about one more character. He is Huck Finn.
I think he is the child who has the most surprising and innocent thought
(mind). If you like these two characters like me, send e-mail. We will be good
e-mail friends.
Seo,
Eun-sil richielover@hanmail.net
I'm
Seo Eun-sil, and my English nickname is Vivian. I want to be a Korean teacher
who teaches Korean to foreigners. I enjoy coming into contact with new
languages, and I'd like to let people know how beautiful Korean is. Getting to
know a language is as great as making friends with a new person.
Jung,
Yong-an jya76@hanmail.net
I'm a
senior majoring in Political science and International relations at Chonnam
National University, Kwang-ju. It's been nearly 3 months since I came to PNU.
When I first came here, I had trouble adapting to the new school and new
students, but thanks to the strong hospitality of PNU students, I've been able
to overcome those problems and enjoyed my stay very much. Throughout my stay,
I'd like to widen my experience and make life-long friends here in Pusan.
During my leisure time, I usually enjoy listening to hard rock, especially to
old hard rock from the 60’s and 70's, and playing computer games and soccer.
These are the spices of my life. I also like to travel abroad. Actually, I've
been to several South Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Indonesia, and
Thailand. You need any vivid information about those countries? I can help you.
Finally, when I go back home, if you have a plan to travel to Kwang-ju and
Cholla province, please let me know. You can stay in my place and travel with
me. Remember! I'm the best tour guide and it doesn't cost you a dime.
Choi, Eun Jung corqjffp@hotmail.com
My name
is Choi Eun-jung. I’m in the second year of Pusan National University. Now I’m
studying English and broadcasting. And I’m also studying Japanese privately. I
have a great interest in languages: I want to learn more languages. I like to
watch sports games and to search something through the Internet. These days,
I’m listening to “Winamp Broadcasting” - a kind of Internet broadcasting on my
computer. Someday, I want to do Internet broadcasting by myself. My personality
is very outgoing. Lots of my male friends call me a “tough girl”.
Khan sonandme@hanmail.net
My
name is Jongkwan (Khan) after Kublai Khan, the first king of Chinese 'won'. He
was adventurous and open-mined. I always dream and look around wherever I want
to go. City life is so stuffy and crowed that I can't feel the freshness of
nature. It's wonderful to travel to a kind of place which is far away from the
modernized city. Sometimes, I drive to the sea and to the mountains. In spite
of myself, I get caught in the great nature. I feel comfortable there. Nature
encourages me to live in the daily life without discouraging myself. I think
returning to nature is the human nature.
