My Life, My Career, My Work

BASF is the largest chemical company in the world and is headquartered in Germany. A little while ago, we were so lucky to have this chance to listen a speech given by the CEO of BASF Company----C.W.Cho in SOLBRIDGE. We had a basic understanding of this famous company, his life and also his working experience. In their working life, I mentioned that as Mr. Cho said, it`s hard at the beginning for him to working with their company`s leader. Usually, if they made some mistake or made something wrong, they may get into “a fight” with the leader and finally, they would get only one word----“Get out”. It`s a part of “Sociology of Power”. In this...

Me, Myself, and I plus Travel

I have traveled a lot of countries relative to my peers. I went to the Philippines when I was in 6th grade in the elementary, I lived about a year as an exchange student in place called Phoenixville near Philadelphia, PA. I took a French class while I went to school there, and we had a trip to Quebec, Canada for few days. And I have no doubt about recommending to other students to go to the States for a year. It will help you a lot in many ways. You will be through the sweet and bitter, and other matters that were not even predicted. And at last you will grow up. Also, during this program you have to stay in host family’s house. So you will know...

A Wonderful Trip to Daejeon O-World

Last June, our professor took us to Daejeon O-World (Daejeon Zoo). It was such a nice trip that I’d like to recommend it to you! Don’t miss this great chance to fall in love with Daejeon! Firstly, we went to the Flower Land and enjoyed the beautiful flowers and amazing fountain. Then we went to the 3D Movie Theatre and had a nice trip with lovely dinosaurs. After that, we took a bus to visit wild animals: squirrel monkeys, spotted hyenas, zebras, camels, chimpanzees, pere David deers, Barbary sheeps and much more. It was such an exciting thing to watch these special animals, many I had only seen on the TV before.We also visited many theme parks...

A Good Way to Use Summer Time – The Summer Session

Starting in the summer of 2010, Woosong University implemented a four-semester system. The system requires students to take classes through both summer and winter vacation breaks. At first, most students, including myself, did not welcome the change since many felt that they were missing other opportunities by participating in the semester system. Traditionally, students have made special plans for their vacation time including getting certifications, traveling abroad and earning money through part-time work. This is because most students are very busy with their studies and assignments during the regular semester.  In reality however, students...

One of the common complaints that English teachers hear from their students is that students feel that they do not have enough opportunities to practice their newly acquired language skills.

Taipei’s 3 Don’t Miss Districts

Taking a trip to Taipei, Taiwan anytime soon? Well leave your “Lonely Plane’s Guide to Taipei” at home, because we’ve got the three best districts to visit, from one Woosong student to another.  Ximending on a typical evening Ximending is an amazing food and shopping extravaganza.

Try walking along the streets on the fringes of the Ximending shopping area to find several local dessert vendors. While there, try the fragrant and delicious peanut soup. Don’t be afraid to walk down into any of the basements or up to stores...

Woosong’s Little Oasis

The smell of warm breads and pastries wafts into the room and beyond. Trays and tongs clatter as folks shuffle their way through and pluck up their favorites. Yet this place, affectionately known as the Tower Bakery, provides more than just culinary comforts. It also provides food for the soul. Woosong’s tower bakery is a place where students and teachers alike share not only coffee and croissants but also memories. Often one can see students huddled together while studying for exams or simply reading. Others sleep after long hours of study or maybe just too much Soju. Sometimes boy meets girl, and the place begins to feel a bit warmer. Conversation...

Kung Fu Panda 2 (4-D) Review

Have you ever wonder whether we could ever go beyond 3D movies? Then were you surprised at the release of 4-D movies and wondered what was so unique about them? Well we have the inside scoop on what 4-D means shown through the lens of the recent summer movie animation sensation, Kung Fu Panda 2. A 4-D (four dimensions) movie is an action packed experience where the audiences’ chair moves in different directions, bursts of gas are expelled from both sides of the viewers neck and there is a light push against one’s back, legs and neck at the precise moment that a character in the movie is rattled. On the top of all of that, the audience also gets...
