My Wonderful Weekend

Beautiful BBQ

Last Saturday, I had a very delicious dinner with my uncle’s family at our house. My uncle and aunt bought some food for BBQ. Then, we had our first BBQ with the new grill! My uncle turned on the grill and put the beef on it. The smell of meat grilling filled the air, so I was getting more hungry. We grilled not only beef but also corn, bacon, and asparagus. After all food was grilled and we set the table with salad, we started to eat dinner. The beef was much more delicious with rosé champagne. In Korea, there are few single-family houses with garden, so having a BBQ on the terrace or in the garden is quite rare. I was grateful to experience that I got to have this kind of experience. It was a really satisfying dinner!

Last Sunday, we left our house to visit the Birch Run Premium Outlets early in the morning. We arrived around 10:30 am, but the open time on Sunday is 12:00 pm. So we decided to go to Frankenmuth, which is a German-style village located in Michigan. The German-style stores and buildings that are similar to Dutch-style village in Holland-were really beautiful. We went to a famous cheese store and tried tasting the cheddar cheese. It had a strong milky flavor, making it rich, soft and delicious. We looked around, took many photos and went back to the outlets. It was my first time to visit American outlets, and it was incredibly large. My aunt bought me some clothes and I was really grateful. I bought clothes in the U.S. for the first time and I can't believe I'm actually wearing American clothes! I will keep them all my life! I had a very meaningful day today.

Impressions of the East Lansing Art Fair

The American-style food from an American food truck, which was quite expensive and salty for me. From Dahyeon: I’d like to tell you something about the East Lansing Art Festival. There are so many things I’d like to share with you, but for now, I just want to tell you three of them. First of all, I am going to introduce the core of the festival, the booths. There were a variety of booths featuring jewelry, paintings, photographs, and ceramics. There are about 135 booths, so you're likely to find one that suits your taste. In Korea, the main purpose of the artists at the festival is to sell their artworks. However, unlike in Korea, I felt that the artists at this festival had another meaningful goal — to connect and communicate with others. It was truly beautiful to see the artists talking with tourists about their work. If you want to experience meaningful conversations with artists, just come and enjoy t...

Michigan State Capitol

Do you know that each state in the U.S has its own capitol building , unlike in Korea? In Korea, there is only one National Assembly building in the capital, Seoul. However, In the United States, each state has its own state capitol. This is quite an interesting fact to Koreans. So, I would like to explain you about the capitol of Michigan State in two parts : architectural features and political function and role. The first thing you can see is the exterior of the building. The Michigan State Capitol features a neoclassical exterior with a large dome and elegant design. It makes you think that it looks like a Medieval European building. Then, if you go inside the building, you can see so many sophisticated rooms. The interior of the Michigan State Capitol is organized by a central rotunda, with richly decorated chambers, historic murals, and elegant staircases radiating outward from the center. Th is kind of interior features ornate 19th-century...
