My Topic - Plastic surgery for getting job

Today I'd like to discuss about this topic


http://youtu.be/bs3asb8EyME?t=6s

This video is showing a part of popular variety show "Non-summit (비정상회담)",  in Korea. In this show, foreigners who are from different countries and lived in Korea for a long time discuss about hot issues in Korea.

This part is discussing about unemployment problems. These days, To get a job is compared to "War" between young men who prepare for being employed in Korea. But competition is more harsh day by day and it became a "Spec war". Spec is actually derived from an English word 'specification' and it means educational background and abilities of English or foreign languages in Korea. Also, it includes a variety of certifications and even an appearance is became a standard of evaluation. It is caused by hard competition and low opportunities to get a job.

To get better opportunities than the others made a new word "plastic surgery for getting job" (취업성형) and grew a tendency among young people having a cosmetic surgery.

-So how do you think about this tendency?

-What do you think about plastic surgery for getting job? Is it necessary?

-Have you ever thought about having plastic surgery?

-What do you think about the beauty oriented society in Korea?

-Do you think that there is a difference between a cosmetic procedure and surgery ?

The story of my travel to bagan






It takes about 6 hours to Bagan from Yangon by express bus. The bus departed in the late afternoon, so when I arrived in Bagan It was dawn so dark. I slept enough while I took the bus. After I get off the bus I met horse men at the station. There were many men to pick up guests. I needed a horse man because I didn't know how to go to my lodging.

I choose one horse man who was fairly kind, humorous and can speak English not well but we could communicate. I was not good at Burmese ( and also now).. so without English I couldn't communicate with Burmese.

Anyway It was too early to go my lodging he suggested me to spend a time drinking tea. So I followed him and we discussed about my trip schedule.  I didn't have any place that I really want to go in mind and I didn't have any knowledge about Bagan at that time .. I just wanted to see everything in Bagan at first time then when I visit Bagan again second trip it would be more useful and be moved again. Eventhough I had no plan about my trip, as a guide, the driver conducted me.  And then we leave for first place.








 Thanks for the horseman I could see this beatiful scene. ( I'm so regretful that I have a bad ability to take a picture '_; )




Can you see two rainbows??
It was amazing!!!!



This horse ,named "Medusa", led me to wonderful places I really appreciated her.





There were many greate places.
Nowdays in this semester I learn about Burmese history, so I'll study about the places and legend of these pagodas and I hope to visit there again.


I'd like to tell about my travel story that I went to Bagan in Myanmar. When I was in Myanmar I usually stayed in Yangon after I finished my task and learning Myanmar language. I've been there for 3 days and It's just a short time.


I really regret that I didn't take a lot of picture and I already studied about these placese...!!!  (I have another things but there aren't better pictures than these... )
