Alternative Medicine? -- Moses_Keon Oh, Lee


I have tried traditional Korean medicine, known as Hanbang, by getting prescribed herbal medicine from a traditional Korean medicine clinic. Hanbang is a traditional Eastern medicine that is quite popular in Korea. During my student days, when I felt physically exhausted from long hours of studying, I visited a Korean medicine clinic. They prescribed herbal medicine to help replenish my stamina. The herbal medicine I took played a significant role in maintaining my physical condition until the day of the exam. Since then, whenever I feel a decline in my energy or encounter health issues that may not require conventional medical treatment, I occasionally seek assistance from traditional Korean medicine.

    That seems to be bitter but we have a proverb; Good medicine tastes bitter to the mouth, that’s that!

    I used herbal medicine for a while, so I think that herbal medicine is really effective.
    Also, I think competition for entrance exams is tough in Korea so, taking the Korean entrance exam seems difficult and exhausting!🙀

A Sound That Affects Me -- Kazuki Hashimoto

    I really like  the sound of walking on snow which is pilled up. At first, I love the winter the most in four seasons. Also, I rarely saw snow in my hometown which is Fukuoka, in Japan. I don't remember surely, but I could see snow once a year or two years there because the place is relatively warmer than any places of Japan. Thus, I really used to enjoy walking on snow or having a snowball fight in a childhood whenever it snowed. That's why I love the sound.

The surprising origin of 'Hijack - Mika

Image
 "Hijack" refers to the act of unlawfully seizing control, often applied to situations involving transportation such as aircraft or vehicles. In the U.S., there used to be a trend where criminals, pretending to be acquaintances, would approach people and address them with the common American name 'Jack'. It means the origin of hijack from "Hi, Jack". I think it is similar to "OREORE scam", involves criminals impersonating relatives or friends, claiming to be in urgent need, and deceiving individuals into sending them money. The thoughts of a scammer are found to be universal across the world.
