El Servicio de los Parques Nacionales de Corea, esta planeando crear rutas extras de 20 km en cuatro parques, siendo estos Seoraksan, Naejangsan, Jirisan, Woraksan.

Escoge la ruta correcta segun tus habilidades

Cuando se anda en bicicleta, es importante escoger un trayecto de acuerdo a la fuerza y habilidades de cada uno, y por sobre todo acatar las reglas de seguridad.

Por Ejemplo, si uno se encuentr de bajada en una colina, la velocidad no debe exceder los 10km/h usando los frenos. Por sentido común uno debe usar casco, no usar el celular, o audífonos para escuchar música. También si desafortunadamente en una bajada uno pierde el control de la bicicleta, el timón debe ser soltado en vez de sostenerlo firmemente, que es lo que usualmente sucede.

Hay que recordar que acatando estas medidas de seguridad no solo se protege uno mismo sino también la gente que se encuentra alrededor nuestro.

Pero si uno es del estilo de no practicar actividades donde uno se cansa demasiado, hay que tener en consideración ir a este programa de bicicletas en los parques nacionales.

The Korea National Park Service is planning to create extra cycling courses of 20km at the four parks including Seoraksan, Naejangsan, Jirisan and Woraksan.

For example, if you are on a downhill road, you shouldn’t exceed 10km/h by applying hand brakes. As is common sense, you must wear a helmet as well as restrain from using mobile phones or ear plugs to listen to music. And also, should the unfortunate situation happens where on a downhill you’ve lost control of your bicycle, then you should rather let go of the handles instead of holding tight on to them, which is usually the instinct.

Remember, abiding safety rules aren’t only about your own safety; it’s as much about other cyclists and hikers’ who are near you.

El Día del Pepero es un evento que sucede en Corea del sur similar al Día de la Amistad o Día de San Valentín. Fue nombrado así por el bocadillo coreano Pepero y decidido a hacerse el 11 de Noviembre ya que la fecha "11/11" recuerda a 4 varitas de pepero. Este dia es esperado por muchos jovenes y parejas quienes hacen intercambios de pepero, otros dulces y/o regalos romanticos. Lotte negaba iniciar una festividad, en cambio decidieron hacer una gran propaganda durante el 11 de Noviembre, y despues de tal popularidad decidieron realizarlo como una festividad con regalos especiales y otras promociones.

De acuerdo a como se cuenta, este día comenzo en 1994 a raiz de que unas estudiantes de Secundaria(Tercer Ciclo, 7mo a 9no Grado) en Busan comenzaron a intercambiarse varitas de pepero como un regalo de deseo a que la otra amiga creciera tan alta y delgada como un pepero.

Pepero Day is an observance in South Korea similar to Valentine's Day. It is named after the Korean snack Pepero and held on November 11, since the date "11/11" resembles four sticks of Pepero. The holiday is observed mostly by young people and couples, who exchange Pepero sticks, other candies, and romantic gifts. Lotte denies starting the holiday and instead states that they noticed a bump in Pepero sales around November 11th and after continued popularity they decided to then encourage the holiday with special gift boxes and other promotions. Some consider it to be a Contrived holiday and some teachers have encouraged children to exchange healthy snacks to help combat obesity. An alternative "Garaetteok Day" (sticks of white tteok) has been proposed.

According to one story, Pepero Day was started in 1994 by students at a girls' middle school in Busan, where they exchanged Pepero sticks as gifts to wish one another to grow "as tall and slender as a Pepero".

빼빼로 데이는 대한민국의 독특한 기념일로, 발렌타인 데이처럼 특정한 날에 초콜릿 과자인 빼빼로를 주고받는다. '11월 11일'이 빼빼로와 닮았기 때문에 그 날이 기념일이 되었다. 현재 이 날은 젊은 층과 연인들 사이에서 빼빼로나 선물을 주고받는 날로 자리잡았다.

일설에 의하면 빼빼로 데이는 1996년 부산의 여중생들이 시작했다고 한다. 그들은 "빼빼로처럼 날씬해져라"는 뜻으로 서로에게 빼빼로를 선물로 주었다고 한다. 하지만 원조 빼빼로의 제조사인 롯데의 판촉을 위해 만들어졌다는 의견도 있다.

일본에서도 이를 모방하여, 이와 비슷한 '포키 데이'가 1999년 11월 11부터 시작되었다. 1999년은 헤이세이 11년으로, 11년 11월 11일이 6개의 포키 모양과 닮았다. 포키 데이와 반대로 포키 자체는 빼빼로보다 20년가량 먼저 발매되었다.

What can I say, is a Festival of Asian Music.....I love Music, so going to those kind of events are my way to enjoy life.

We were expecting with my friends going, all together, but I went with my companion of adventures and her Sister(my new companion of adventures). First the event is not in Daejeon so I went to Seoul as always do, ^-^ I went early to Seoul National University to go with Sara(I can say is my best friend in whole Korea) to the place where was held the event.

We went together and we met with Gaby(Sara's Sister) in the Olimpic Stadium, we were doing line to exchange our printed tickets for the real ones, because you need to apply on internet for this type of events, and they give you a ticket that you need to print and show for the exchange. But due to an error in the system I received a VIP entrance.....So during the Show I was alone. but always calling ourselves to know how was the events....But don't think is a REAL VIP entrance....I was in the VIP area but almost at the end jajaja, but was better to take videos than the other places.

In this event they were showing us 1st about the G20 that will be held in Seoul. 2nd with Jackie Chan as Chairman, that some stuffs that they were giving by doing donations, we were helping childs in Pakistan with the help of UNICEF. and Jackie Chan didn't show....just sent a video.

In this Asia Song Festival were 12 perfomances, from 6 Countries:
-China:
+ Jane Zhang
-Japan:
+ AKB48
-Korea:
+ Beast
+ BoA
+ Kara
+ Lee Seung Chul
+ Rain
+ 2AM
+ 4 Minute
-Malaysia
+ Michael Wong
-Taiwan:
+ Joe Cheng
-Thailand:
+ Bie The Star

The event was great, also the performance of each group or singer that participated on it. And although there was one from Malaysia he is Chinese from Malaysia so he sang in Chinese ^-^ was good every one. HOPING more music stars the next year, but more from Japan

In my country one of the most common, delicious, and cheap food is the on called PUPUSA.

The last time(the first time) we decided to make Pupusa, my friend lived near my University, in a place called Kungdong, where she lived in a big place, so we met with the other latin friends, and went to eat icecream, and also go and singing in Noraebang, and obviously eat pupusa.

But this time was different, first we didn't have a place enough for at least 5 person, so we decided to do it in something that Korean calls: Minbak or Pension.

This place needs to have a reservation, so we started our search for the best place, so we found one place really good in Daejeon. The place that we found was in DAECHEONG Lake. Really Beautiful....

That place had everything needed to stay, Kitchen, rice cooker, fridge, T.V., Air Conditioner, Heater, Terrace, a big Bathroom 0_0. The view was great, the weather was cold outside, but we enjoyed prepare and eat, not only pupusa, but also BBQ .....yummy ^-^.

But the experience of finding, staying and enjoy in a place different to your home is good, also relaxing because we finished our examinations period. If you ask me you need to go and stay in one Minbak is really good....but not alone 0_0 go with someone else, because is not cheap. Unless you're trying to find a simple place just to stay.

Jajaja....1st I don't study in Kongju University, I study in Chungnam National University, so I live near, but although my friend study there, she lives in Daejeon.

So as many expect, we had a lot of problems carrying all the stuffs until Konju, 0_0......
1) From her house to the bus station
2) Take the bus until Yuseong Intercity Bus Station
3) Go to the Bus station in Kongju
4) Carry all the stuffs to the University where the Food Festival was held

Was really funny, in this Food Festival, participated, 2 groups of Korean food, 2 groups of Chinese food, 1 group of Japanese, Bangladesh, Mongolian, Vietnamese, Belizean, and Salvadorean Food.

Bangladesh: Rice with curry and beef
Belize: Ceviche, Chicken & Salad
China: Mandu, Rice with Egg&Tomato
El Salvador: Pupusas (was just the name, we were not able to prepare it like the real one)
Japan: Takoyaki
Korea: Kimchi and Seafood Pancake, Bulgogi
Mongolia: Hushuur
Vietnam: Pho, Nem

In my opinion, all universities, must have food festival to show to koreans and other countries about the delicious food that each country have.

I hope my University do 1 in this month....like the past 2 semesters =P
