Peaceful Korea

South and North Korea have been peaceful for a few years now. We have some spy incidents here and there but overall we have been pretty good. During the Korean War, we had a lot of problems, and they haven't been solved yet. But I think that over all, we are doing a good job keeping both countries peaceful. The War left big scars to both countries, but I think that both countries understand that and are trying hard for that not to happen again.

I know that North Korea has had problems with other countries like the US and they think that North Korea might be the devil or something like it. But honestly, I don't really believe so. North Korea has been really good to South Korea in the past few uears. We can now go on tours to visit the country. This was not possible just a few years ago.

I love my country. And I believe that North and South Korea are one, and that they can become one. I think that we can keep this peaceful environment forever. This is everyone's belief and hope in both countries.

My car

I LOVE my car and I hate it when I get scratches on my car. One day I was out with my friends and came home. I was inside resting and watching television on my bed when my brother came into the house screaming. I had no idea what was going on, but I went running downstairs. He started yelling my name and telling me to come out immediately. I thought he wsa mad at me, but I had no idea why. I was sure I hadn't done anything wrong. I went outside and my brother was standing in front of my car giving me a weird look. I asked him what was going on and he asked me if I was ok. I asked him why he was asking, if anything had happened. He asked me when I had gotten into an accident, adn I said I had no idea what he was talking about. He pointed out at the front of my car, and there it was, a huge huge huge scratch. I had no idea how it got there, and still don't. Apparently someone had run into my car and scratched it while I was home. I'm still mad about that, and still have the scratch on my car.

Ode to Food

Sometimes spicy with a kick
Sometimes so sweet, you make me melt
You come in all shapes and all tastes

Sometimes salty with a kick
Someitmes so sour, you make me flinch
You come in all shapes and all tastes

Sometimes cold like a winter night
Sometimes hot like a burning star
You come in all shapes and tastes
