Why are the TV series all on Monday and Tuesday?


 : I don't know from when this started... One of the reasons why I waited for Monday were TV series. Good TV series are on Monday and Tuesday in Korea. Why is it? When I was younger about 5 or 10 years, good programs used to be on Saturday or Sunday.... I don't know from when, good programs were on weekdays.... There must be reasons for that.

 TV series I like in January, 2016




 It's just my taste. Here are the list, "6 dragons fly(Yukyonginarsha)", "Cheese in the trap", "Mulim School". They are all on Monday and Tuseday.


 Of course, the good TV program, "Reply, 1988' is on Friday and Saturday...

 And why?






: After reading many articles and the schedule of TV series, I concluded that it was just a coincidence. Just I came to like TV series more on Monday and Tuseday, which means I don't think it is intended by Broadcasting companies...


 In Korea, for the higher view rate two episodes a week. And 8 pm to 10 pm is a prime golden time for the rate. They just arrange the schedule according to that. And another factor which I have to consider is that viewers of TV programs on Sunday or Saturday are all family members... Therefore short range of viewers of TV series are not good for weekends and Sundays...


 Anyway, it's just because of viewer rate competitions. And conincidently, more TV series on Monday or Tuesday became my favorites.

Can you guess where it is in Korea?


 : How does Korea become like this.... The shallow capitalism made Korea like this... It pursues only profit. Profit means efficiency. And it made Korea a dull country in terms of city design.


 Please look at the following pictures....

 Where is it?




  Can you guess where it is? A town in Kyoungkido?, Jeonrado? Kyongsangdo? This is a typical appearance which a caplitalism swept over a place in the name of city development.

 


It's a town in Yangsan City, Kyoungkido




A night street... It's a downtown in Yangsan



Where is it? It's in Seoul

 Is it OK? Korea? Like this?






: No, absolutely not. I think Korea is a kind of 52th state of USA. Seeing the unified view... no characteristic to a region.... Even the army control is under the USA. We don't have it. Therefore it's close to a colony of USA. I have to say that Korea is between a colony and the 52th state of USA.


 It started from the people who sold their country and ethnicity to Japan. We call them Japan-Friendly party people.


 Furthermore, Korea is driven by a shallow capitalism, which made Korea very similar with each other. In the name of efficiency and development, we made buildings in a retangluar shape... Even museums in Korea are very alike inside.


 Especially, downtown in night are really alike.... What the hell... To see those, you don't need to travel around in Korea. Just pick a city and go there... You can experience almost everything which you can see and feel in other city.

Usual thing you can see in Korea


 : If you have ever been in Korea before, you would notice the following things. We all have a stereotype on something which is formed after living in a country for a long time. We regard them as usual or inevitable. But it surprises me in an unexpected way. And then stereotypes are good? or bad? It gives me a pleasure by making me realize. But it also gives me stress.


 There are many things taken it for granted or usual. But they are not. If you go to another country, you can see that.

 Koreana Hotel, it's in every city in Korea and also abroad




 The name "Koreana" should have started from the year, 1988 when 88 Seoul olympic was held. It was a band named "Koreana" which had 'Hand in Hand', the world hit song. I guess it becomes a symbol of Korea.


 And the Koreana Hotel, you can see almost in every city, even in Uzbek.

 


Koreana Hotel.

 Flee Market and Bus Ads





Newsstand for the free ads paper


: Have you heard 'flee market'? It has almost everything about ads, including Seeking human, finding job, real estate and so on. It's a kind of symbol for ordinary life. Among ads, real estate and job ads.


 And you can see the above the Ads paper stand at every corner in Korea. To get it, you have to be an early bird...


 And the ads are published by each city. For example, in Busan, it has 'Busan Flee Market'.




Bus ads




 : It's about Anus special hospital. Almost all bus has those kind of Ads. There are many different kinds. Among them Ads for a fortune teller is peculiar...

ESE POD Collection - I have to find a brand which I like most, Part 18Lucaffe Series Mamma Lucia Blend and the results.


 : The Lucia Blend was the last one I took. Not like my expectations, there were just a few PODs I found favorable to me. One of the reasons can be the coffee machine itself which I used for the POD.


 It's unfortunate. The soft pod of Frech Cafe is better in taste... and also better in the price. The last try I can resort to is the purchase of the new Coffee Machine for ESE POD.
