Farewell from Korea!

Today is our last post. Thank you for all the comments and questions about Korean food and school. This has made our week a lot of fun. We are so happy that people are interested in Korea. Our class is sad we will not post anymore but we will ask our teacher to read more posts from the world and from Veg.

Today we had a good lunch. Like everyday we had rice (? bap) and the soup was kimchi stew (???? kimchi jjigae). This soup has kimchi, pork, and a little bit of other vegetables. Then we had tofu (?? dubu) with soy sauce, kimchi (??), and fried dried seaweed (??? ?? kimjaban muchim). Today we had a sweet thing at the end of the meal called ? (tteok). It is a sweet rice cake that is very sticky.

Food-o-meter- 9/10
Health rating- 9/10
Bites- about 61 on average
Courses- Soup, 3 sides, dessert
Price- About 2,500 won ($2.50 US)
Pieces of hair- 0 (everyday!)

Goodbye and thank you for reading our posts.

Teacher�s Note: Sorry the post from the kids is so short today, we were busy catching up on work missed due to the typhoon day we had earlier this week. My students really enjoyed hearing from everyone who commented, so I thank you all! It was a great week.

I will not answer some of the final questions that we didn�t get to in class today. Chopsticks and spoons are used in Korea almost exclusively. There are forks and knives in western restaurants but chopsticks are always offered, too! I�ve gotten quite good at them since I arrived :) There is no reason to switch over to the knife, fork, spoon tradition of the west. For Koreans (and I�m sure the rest of Asia), using chopsticks is second nature and just as easy for them as using a fork is to the west!

There are a lot of Korean sweets and western influenced desserts, but we don�t eat them often at school. Rice cakes (like the one we had today) are the most popular and are sometimes filled with things like sweet red beans or sesame oil. Dairy is not really part of the traditional diet in Korea, like other east Asian countries which is why you rarely see it in Korean food.

Thank you all again for such a great week. I urge all of you who are interested in Korean food to go out and try it (or challenge yourself to cooking it!) and donate to Mary�s Meals. Let�s support Veg and her truly outstanding project! Lastly, for those interested in life in Korea and Korean food you can find out more at my blog.

Make Money with youtube and adfly 30-08-2012

I made a new video to Youtube "How to make tag cloud to Blogger blog step by step": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt5aMYsSl9k There is a Adf.ly link in the description of that video, which leads people to my Adf.ly blog. What You think - can I make this even better? Tell me if You have some ideas.

Why do you have it unlisted? The video itself is good. I have no suggestions pertaining to that. However.... The title of your video "How to make tag cloud to Blogger blog step by step," No one in the world searches for that on any search engine, or on youtube. The result of such a title will give you the views you have now. When 1 year passes, you way have about 100 views due to you pointing people to it. Take some time to learn what people are searching for on the internet. Google Keyword Research Tool Youtube Keyword Research Tool If you put in "How to make tag cloud to Blogger blog step by step" using the tool, notice how the result is either 0 or "-" Below that however are suggestions of what people look for. The painful part is most people believe that where it says "Low competition" is the keyword to go for. This is not correct. The competition on this tool means something completely different. And unfortunately, it would take forever for me to explain how to get page 1 on google or how to get rank on on youtube. I'll just give you some suggestions: google "tag cloud blogger" and a list of suggestions should drop down. Use those as tags and use quotation marks as tags. Make sure your title is in your description multiple times. So if your title is "tag cloud blogger," tag cloud blogger should appear multiple times in your description. Make sure "tag cloud blogger" is your first tag. Now I"m not suggesting you use "tag cloud blogger" as your title, that is just an example. However, if you plan to keep your video unlisted, then ignore what I said above.

Thank You so much for good advices and feedback. That video is now public. I made some changes to my keywords after using Google Keyword Research Tool. Then I put these words into Youtube search box: "tag cloud blogger" and Voilà - my page was number 3 in the list I didn't change my title, but I added several tags - all was sentences as like "word cloud generator". I visited also into Your first signature link and I think about those things later. Is there more ideas from the other members?

$2/day in adfly not so bad... 30-08-2012

See my inventions here: http://www.planetminecraft.com/member/minecraftjames222/ Hi, my name is james and today, I will explain you how I made 2$ with adf.ly only. -------------------------------------------- Have something to click to If you post an adf.ly link, do not use links wich redirect to other's video or a web page wich is not your work. Me, I am a vb.net, html and CSS programmer and also some minecraft modding (java). So, what I did, is I created a program called Mynecraft for the game called minecraft wich includes features that can help a "Minecraftian". This got really popular and I am happy. Also, I created something called MMP (Minecraft Modder Pack) wich is a premade template to create minecraft mods. This is my newest work and it is still in progress. I expect more. So, being a programmer is not the only way to make $$$ out of adf.ly. There are many ways but I am explaining how I got 2$ (W00000T!). -------------------------------------------- Where to have something to click to If you want to make it popular, or your adf.ly link, you can post it on forums but not like: "Download Mynecraft. There is an adf.ly link.". You need to create a description of your invention, how it works and what it can do. I posted my two inventions on PMC (Planet Minecraft) and it worked fine. They use a system of most popular mod so it create a sponsor of the mod at the hot spot zone of the mods section. Note that there are MANY websites where you can post your invention. -------------------------------------------- How I am gonna do more $$$ I will update my inventions, adding new stuff to keep the interest. Something wich never changes will not make you earn 10$. Update your content like I do for an extra profit. Thanks for reading and I hope you have found this useful. NOTE: I learned each programming language on internet. No need of books!

Hello again from Dae Han Min Guk!

?? (do you remember how to say our name in English?) here again. Dae Han Min Guk
(????) is the name of Korea in Korean! Today here it is very rainy. They say we have a typhoon coming again! We hope that Veg and family is okay after the lightning strike. And that everyone in US is okay after hurricane there.

To answer your question, mostly in Korea women cook. Men work very long hours at the
company and get home very late, so women cook dinner. It isn�t that hard always because rice is made in rice cooker and kimchi is made only a few times a year with the whole family or you can buy. We aren�t sure why we use metal chopsticks here, it is just normal for us!

Today�s lunch was white rice (? bap), salad, fried shrimp patties with ketchup, kimchi, and gamjatang (???). Gamjatang is a soup with pork bones and potatoes. The meat is on the bones (from the neck) and you need to scrape it off. It is little bit spicy.

Hansik is back!

Sorry about missing yesterday but today we are back at school. The storm was not very bad. We were very happy to get a day off school and spent most of the time playing and sleeping. Everyone is tired today. There is another typhoon coming tomorrow but they don�t think it will be very bad.

We are happy that everyone likes these posts. Korean food is very delicious and we hope that more people in the world will try it. Today�s lunch was good. Wednesday is a special lunch day. They serve special things like rice porridge or curry.

Today we had fried rice with dried seaweed on top (??? with ?, bokkeumbap with kim),
soybean paste stew with green pumpkin, mushrooms, and potatoes in it (?? ??, doenjang
jjigae), radish kimchi (???, kkakdugi), corn and cheese casserole, and grapes.

People had a question about breakfast in Korea. We usually eat the same food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This is rice, soup, kimchi and other small things like tofu, egg, ham, or beans. Sometimes we eat cereal or breads.

Thank you for reading. We like seeing your comments and answering your questions about
Korea!

Teacher�s Note: To answer some of the other questions from the last post I will jump in. The dumplings in the back of the picture are called kimchi mandu. Mandu (??) is the Korean word for dumpling. I teach just English (writing) but other native English teachers at my school teach science, math, social studies, and reading. It is a wonderful opportunity!

There is a lot of access to junk and western food here. McDonalds, Burger King, Papa John�s, Domino�s, and Baskin Robbins (to name a few) all have stores here and are very popular. But, from what I�ve seen and what students have told me, these are eaten much less regularly than in the US. Koreans still place a big emphasis on family, so meals are often home cooked or still Korean. Other things are seen as a treat. Obviously, this is not the case in all Korean families but seems to be more common.

There are a lot of options for delivery and take away here. Korea is very convenient. When you order from Korean restaurants they bring everything in glass and metal. Once you are done eating you place it outside your door and the restaurant will come and pick it back up. Besides Korean food, you can order delivery from just about anywhere, even McDonalds! Fried chicken, often tossed in a spicy sauce and incredibly common in Korea, and pizza are popular choices.

When asked my students all said they like western food sometimes but that they prefer Korean!

?????! Annyeonghaseyo!

Hello again from Seoul! Today�s blog post is going to be a little different. As you know the posts on NeverSeconds are usually written by children, but today I (Hansik�s teacher) am going to be
taking the reins. Why? Because Korea is currently preparing to be hit by Typhoon Bolaven and the kids were told not to come to school today. While teachers still have to report on the outset of this hurricane, the cafeteria is closed. I�ll take this opportunity to tell you a little bit more about a typical Korean snack or lunch when not at school.

First off, I am an American who has been living in Korea for the past 18 months. I work at an immersion school so the students spend half the day studying the national curriculum with their Korean homeroom teacher and half the day studying core subject in English with a native English speaker. I�m the writing teacher so this project fits perfectly.

In Korea, teachers eat with their students. We eat the same food but are able to serve
ourselves. I pay 50,000 won (about $50 US) a month which is a great deal. I actually love most of the food in the cafeteria!

Now for the food! One of the most popular quick meals or snacks in Korea is called kimbap, or in Korean, ??. Also called the �Korean sandwich� due to the fact kimbap is often brought as a lunch on hikes or field trips, kimbap looks like a Japanese sushi roll, but it is actually very different. Yesterday we learned that kim (?), the first syllable of the word, is dried seaweed. Well, the second syllable, bap (?), means rice.

Like sushi it is rice and seaweed rolled, but the similarities end there. The most common variety is filled with egg, ham, cucumber, carrot, and pickled radish (danmuji, ???). You can also order kimbap with other ingredients including cheese, kimchi, or, my favorite, canned tuna with mayonnaise. It sounds weird at first, but once you get used to kimbap, it is delicious. A roll runs about 2,000 won ($2 US) and is available at convenience stores and take away shops around the country.

One final thing before I go. Although it is a little scary here in Korea today with this impending storm, I know that I will still have access to food and a hot meal. Let�s make sure everyone who can donates to Mary�s Meals so that this can be a reality for more people across the world!

That�s it from Korea today! Hopefully the students will be back tomorrow with another school lunch for you all. If you have any questions about food, lunches, or education in South Korea please ask and I�ll have the students get you some answers.
