I am invited by Americans











I have visited many museums for my final project. But I did not go D.C for few weeks because I have to take care of my wife who is pregnant.




But, the chance came to me that I could see Americans' life through visiting their house.




Last Saturday, my wife and I went John's house where his wife and two daughters were waiting our family. we were so glad to meet each other. Specailly, his daughter, Laura, 3 years old, who really liked me because I gave ice cream to her. They prepared a lot of food such as LA rips and shrips, Kim-chi, rice, 된장 soup and so on. I already bought a bottle of sweet wine for them. we opeded and drank together. It was very delicious. We talked a lot. most of them were about economic, religion, and American lives. John got married with Korean woman who speaks both languages fluently. I feel confortable while talking together. They told me that if I live in the U.S, I can spend more time with my family. om the otehr hand, if i live in Korea, you have to stay more time at working place. I was enough to understand what she was talking about. Also. we compared American and Korean culture in companies. In South Korea, some times, we cannot get out of the company when their boss is on the office. They have to read another's face. But John said we do not need it in the United States. why is it different? This is a difference of culture between Korean and the U.S.




We talked more than 4 hours only in English. John encouraged me with praise than I am a good English speaker. I do not thinks so . I still have to study more. But, he said you speak English well. I Feel very good when he said like that.




He promised me that we meet together as soon as possible.




I saw how they are living in the U.S ans learned what American culture is.
