Korean Birthday Celebrations

One of the traditional dishes your family or friends will make on your birthday is miyeok-guk 미역국 (seaweed soup). That's because in the past mothers, after giving the birth,  would eat this soup for about month, because it was thought that seaweed was good for milk production and uterine contraction. Therefore, eating this soup became a tradition in order to memorialize mother's pain of child-birth and the care they gave to us when we were little.
In Korean culture there are also some important birthdays such as 100th-day celebration, first birthday, the 60th, 70th and 80th birthdays that are celebrate with big feasts and parties. During them people invite all of their family and friends to eat together the meal and share, for example, rice cakes.

Korean Webcomics and Webtoons

Obraz
The history of webtoons have began in 1990's and started growing bigger in 2003, when portal sites like Naver or Daum began they webtoon portal services. Over the years these internet comics have developed into stories of various genres. It's also possible for readers to leave the comments under the webcomic to communicate with the artist. The popularity of webtoons is growing year on year. In May 2014, Naver published 128 weekly webcomics while Daum around 85.  The growth of webtoons has led to the trend of adapting the most popular ones such as "Secretly Greatly" or "Misaeng".

What does it mean to be a real man in today's world?

I think in our times it's a bit confusing for even a man to define what does it mean to be a "real man". And for me being a woman it's even harder to describe it and I can only guess. However, in my opinion, being a real man is, in fact, being your true self. Accepting your weaknesses and knowing your strengths. Of course, there are some popular believes that men should be self-confident, strong, successful, shouldn't be afraid to stand up for what they believe, yet I think that those characteristics don't only apply only for men, but also for women.  To sum it up, I believe that the key to being a real man/ real human is just to be yourself and be kind to others.

Reflection 2

The recent reflection that came to my mind was actually during geography class when we were looking at the map of the Kielce at its surroundings and the girls at my group weren't sure whether the cave was in Kielce or in some village next to it. And then I just remembered that I was actually in that cave so I could resolve their doubts. The thought that came to my mind, later on, was that travel truly broadens your mind. It's just so much easier to make connections and figure out things when you were somewhere and just remembered how it was.
