New York Trip

         I stayed in New York for four days. It was my first time visiting the city. I went to Times Square, Central Park, Wall Street, the Statue of Liberty, and Rockefeller Plaza. All the places I visited were amazing and memorable. I could feel why people call New York the Big Apple. 

    I visited during the Fourth of July holiday, so there were special events and fireworks all around the city. One of the best moments in New York was watching the fireworks. I saw them from the Brooklyn Bridge, and the view of the fireworks was fantastic and beautiful. 

     The sky exploded with bright colors like red, blue, and gold, and the fireworks reflected on the water under the bridge. I could hear the loud booms echoing over the city, and I smelled the faint scent of smoke in the summer night air. I’ll never forget that moment.  

     Another memorable experience was eating New York thin-crust pizza.  It was the best pizza I’ve ever had. The bread was quite crispy, and the toppings like cheese and pepperoni matched really well.  

    There were a lot of different tourists in New York, and I realized that the city is truly a melting pot. It felt like people from all over the world were living together. I could also sense the freedom in their lives, which made me feel a little bit jealous.    -Alex

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...
