Rose presidential election in Korea





 As I was talking about Seoul, I felt that I could not talk ‘without president election’. This is because this president election has great significance in Korea. Korea has a presidential election next week. If you do not have time to vote next week, you can vote in advance(Pre-voting). Pre-voting will starts tomorrow!
 After the impeachment of the former president, he is supposed to hold a presidential election for a new president within 60 days. So, we usually vote in December, but this time we will vote in May. So it was nicknamed the 'Rose presidential election', which means the presidential election in May when the rose blooms.
 This vote is very meaningful. This is because the former president is an impeachment that is impeached and neglected due to the obligation to protect the Constitution. There was a lot of work before the former president was impeached. The people of the Republic of Korea resented the President's behavior and gathered candle light at Gwanghwamun Square, and the cumulative number of participants exceeded 10 million. It was a scene of democracy and a move to protect the Constitution. I did not have the time, so I tried once, but at that time I was so excited. It was the moment when I felt 'good to come to Seoul'. On March 10, the Constitutional Court ruled that the former president was impeached.
 About two months after that, May 9 became the presidential election day. Many candidates have do hard to prepare for this vote. Fifteen candidates declared their candidacy, and one of the candidates resigned, leaving 14 members. However, the 14 candidates have been running the election race to the end, and now we will vote for the president next week. Maybe everyone is a lot nervous. Whoever president is, I hope that the President, elected by the people, will do his job well.
 The meaning of this election for me is that it is the presidential election that I will try for myself for the first time. In the past 18 votes, in 2012, I was still 17 years old (19 years old in Korea), so I could not vote. But in this 19th vote, I have the right to vote. The residence address is in the province, so I must be in the province to vote on May 9th. But I can not, so I will vote in pre-voting between May 4th and May 5th. I am really glad to be able to attend the pre-vote. I will attend the pre - voting by all means. And I will upload a certification shot here. :)ㅍ

 The food to eat today is Gamdong-Ran. Do you know what Gamdong-Ran is? Interestingly, it is an egg that tasted is so 'touched'. It is a type of egg that is sold in convenience store of Korea GS25, and the boiled egg itself is characterized by the salt liver. So it is easy to eat without salt. Also, it is more delicious to cook the egg so that the yolk does not become fully cooked when boiled. Today I am going to try the Gamdong-Ran.  As you can see in the picture, two eggs are packed in one pack. When you eat one, the other one eats soon. It's size is not large. One egg contains 50 grams, and one pack contains 100 grams. Let's look at the nutrients. It is one standard for reference.

Green Car : How to use Car sharing in Korea

Image
 Do you know car sharing services? Maybe you should have heard it once. In general, car sharing means starting from the recognition that it is wasteful for purchasing a car. So a local or group to own a car to use a simple purpose vehicle, and then sharing it on a time scale basis.  However, in Korea, it started as a new car rental business by companies, and it is developed mainly in metropolitan and central cities. It is characterized by the fact that there is almost no car sharing zone in rural areas. So it was not easy to see car sharing cars in the area where I grew up. However, because I came to Seoul, I have a lot of chance to meet car sharing zones, and usually I can rent a car and use it.  Let's take a quick look at how to use it! In Korea, 'Socar' and 'Green Car' are typical services, but today I will explain 'Green Car' as an example.  First, sign up for membership in the Green car homepage or application. At this time, you must

Namsan Tower : Sightseeing places in Seoul

Image
 Namsan Tower is one of the famous landmarks of Seoul with the Han River. The height of the tower itself is 236.7m, which is low compared to other landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Tokyo Tower.    It was completed on July 30, 1975. At first, there was no observation deck, but after that, a sightseeing observation deck was constructed and the present tower was completed. In the early days, it was not open to the public because of security problems, but on October 15, 1980, the observatory was opened. And it was reopened in 2005. From this time, the name will be changed to N Seoul Tower. I do not feel old because all the facilities have been modernized and the interiors have been careful while undergoing remodeling.    The tower is made up of seven floors and is quite large, and the top of the T7 floor is an observation tower with a slowly rotating floor. Namsan, where Namsan Tower is located, also has the remains of the Choson Dynasty. This is also a
