I went to the Seoul Digital Forum 2011 last friday!

Since I'm doing the LG Global Challenger project about "the Vertical Farm", I went to the Seoul Digital Forum 2011 last Friday, and which was amazing. I went there to conduct an interview with very famous professor of Columbia university, the USA dr. Dickson Despommier and talk about the vertical farm.

Technically the forum was restricted only for those people who are very well-known in particular area, but I was very lucky to join this forum. When I was walking around the forum and talking with many professors and minister of Korea Agriculture, I felt like I'm already grown-up and it wasn't that bad and actually it was a bit weird.

At first, I was very nervous to meet dr. Despommier, because I had to speak in Englsih to him and I know how my English is, but in the end he was very friendly and easy-going, so my interview was very successful. I'm still so excited about what I've seen and who I've met from this forum. It was really worth having a look.

I'm going back to London!

Ever since I got back from London, there has been a lot of burdens on my shoulder, such as job searching, taking care of my college score and LG Global Challenger. As far as I'm concerned, I'm absolutely exhausted.

All I can think of at the moment is that I can't live like this. In my life there is a very little fun and too much stress. I guess nobody wants to live like me. On the other hand, when I was staying in London, my life was so perfect. I had my life and my best friends and I never felt so stressed. So, this is the reason why I decided to start the massive/stressful LG Global Challenger.

LG Global Challenger is the biggest college student only competition in South Korea and if I'm picked up, me and my team have to go travelling around Europe. Because this competition is about learning something better of other countries, so in order to know what's happening in other countries, we have to visit other countries. Thanks to myself and my team, we passed the first step already and 2 more steps to go! I really wish I can go back to London for a while, otherwise there is really no fun in my life right now.

If you want to make a trip to Europe,,,

As a person who has been to many many European countries, I'd love to share my marvellous experience with everybody. I've been to the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Swiss, the Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium and Denmark. Quite a lot, huh?

If you're planning to go to Europe for travelling, I guess you probably want to have a look Paris, Barcelona, Rome, and London, don't you? I know it is very fun to plan a trip, but have you got enough money to cover your entire trip? I don't think so. We are just students who have enthusiasm without money. But like someone said, " If you are desperately want to do something, there will be a way to do it." I guess the biggest problem for us is money. Don't need to give up! Travel can be budgeted. For example, you can use a very nice and cheap flight company called "Easyjet.com". I took it to go to everywhere and once I paid just 30pounds to go to Paris from London and return. And you can also use very cheap accomodations like hostel. When I was staying in Rome, I stayed a very very cheap and nice hostel called "Hostel California". Of course I had to share my room with 6 people, but it didn't matter, because I just paid 5 euro per night and it's really nothing. And also we have to think about what to eat. If you are in London, don't eat out! Because you have to pay for the tax and service charge, etc and these are very expensive. Just pick some stuff from market called "Sainsbury or Tesco" and cook it by yourself. There are many ways of saving money and you shouldn't think because you don't have money, so you can't go to Europe. As I said, there is always a way to sort it out.

Review of World DJ Festival

I just came back from "World DJ Festival!". It was just beyond amazing! I went there with my 2 really good friends. There was a slight mishap to find a proper tube to go to Yangpeong, but in general our trip was very delightful.

Since World DJ Festival is one of the most beloved festival happened in South Korea, it was very worth joining them. It was absolutely massive! There were seven main stages with so many event. The event which caught my attention was "Silent Disco" which I obviously did. It is literally disco in silence. Everybody was wearing headphone and listening to same tune which was sent by a DJ through some kind of signal. How wonderful modern technology is! It was so much fun. If someone had looked us, they would have thought that we were mental. Because they couldn't hear the tune, unless they wore the headphone. It did seem to be a bit mental, but as a person who did it, it was totally amazing. I promise you it is a very efficient way to get rid of all the stress you have.

Plus there were so many people with good fashion style. They seemed to be celebrities and it was so good to have a look that many quirky fashion style at the same time. There was even a girl who was wearing fish-net stocking with clipper!

I just paid 30,000won to go to the festival and every won was priceless. I hope you join it at some point in the future.

I'm so looking forward to "World DJ Festival".

At World DJ Festival, we can see literally all the hot famous DJs throughout the world and it's one of the biggest festival in Korea and it is mainly about electro music but we can enjoy rock and hip-hop as well. In 2011, it is happening at 양평 on may 6th to 8th. And of course me and my friends already bought the tickets to go. Really can't wait!

Because it is my first time actually going to this amazing festival, so I can't describe it in a very brilliant way, but my friend ,who went to it last year, said "It was very similar to Electro Dance Festival happened in London last year" and I've been to L.E.D (London Electro Dance festival) and it was WOW.

Personally I do like electro music and normally I listen to this kind of music, such as Justice, Sydney Simson or Daft Punk. But this time at Word DJ Festival we can also have a look rock and hip hop and I'm just so excited. I'm really hoping "Gossip" or "Yeah Yeah Yeah" or " Transformer" coming.

Really good thing of this festival is that they are going to introduce really good Korean music as well. I mean not the cheesy idol music which is everywhere in Korea. Gosh! I really do hate those kind of same tune. It's just so tedious and I'm sick of it. I will promise I will keep posting about "World DJ Festival" at my blog.

The Difference - London Street Fashion VS Parisian Chic Look.

As we know, English and French have been in a love/hate relationship for ages. I guess it's not because of the historical background, it's rather about the distinctive differences. Even though they're right next to each other, both of them have their own unique style, for example; "The famous London street fashion vs Parisian chic look".

On the one hand, English fashion is very famous for its own way of colour-matching which is called "London street fashion". English teenager particularly fancy this style. The crucial point is "Mix and Match"; mixing up many unmatchable items at the same time but in the end it looks lovely. It has been appealing to many young people in the world and now it became one of the most beloved fashion style.

On the other hand, French fashion is normally defined as "Parisian Chic Look". They don't use a lot of colours, but nobody thinks it's tedious, they think it's rather classic. French people care about the ensemble of the clothes, such as the perfect colour tone with perfect cutting.

We can't say which one is better than the other one. Both are too good to argue!
