Jajangmeun (Korean noodles with black bean sauce) Today I tried for the first time, jajangmeun! It's a Korean dish: noodles served with stewed black bean sauce (with vegetables). It was super delicious and I was so happy to discover a new noodle dish I really like. I just don't know how I've lived this long in my life and never noticed a good hearty dish like this. I love Korean food but that might the problem in itself: I always get the same Korean dishes and I don't venture out beyond my boundaries and try new dishes. Yet, today I was happy I did. Have you tried Jajangmeun? today's recording: ジャジャンミュンはすごく美味しい～チャンスがあったら、食べてみてください。 How's my intonation and pronunciation? Thanks!

Alright! Skype! I was finally able to get my password back from my skype account I use for iTalki. Feel free to send a message for an add. My account name should be listed on my profile. I wish Skype allowed multiple logins like gmail does. I have so many accounts for different purposes: business, family, languages, gaming, etc. I have just as many for emails and whatnot. This whole creating accounts for everything is a little annoying especially with spam hackers and viruses getting smarter these days. And skype doesn't even do multiple video yet! Why do I pay for skype credit... では、スカイプで楽しみましょう！ ヾ(*'0'*)ﾏ!!ヾ(*'O'*)ﾀ!!ヾ(*'｡'*)ﾈ!! PS = testing this new voice recording option. It's pretty neat and I like it. Does anyone else use the voice recording option?

How does one "check out" at the supermarket cashier in your country? For example, do you bring your own bags? Is there a bagger or do you bag your own groceries? Do you usually pay in cash? Credit card? Is there a card swiper? What are the fine details of this process that a foreign visitor might want to know about your country. :)

I'm Back! Hello all! I have returned from my hiatus. It's been a while and I've got to remember my skype account and password again. I've moved and settled down near New York city in the USA. I hope to meet you all for some good language exchange soon! -Sylvia

been so busy recently Sorry been so busy recently with work and daily chores. Can you believe how much time just daily chores can take up in a day!? Simply washing dishes, cooking, and cleaning takes up more time than the satisfying eating-dinner part which I wish could be better. Maybe in the future we all could just pop a pill and be full with a turkey dinner pill. But I'll probably be dead and gone by then... >teardrop<

Happy 추석 to all Koreans :) So I learned tomorrow is 추석(Chusok), a Korean national holiday, similar to that of Thanksgiving in the United States, where families gather to say thanks and celebrate all kinds of wealth and givings of historical and traditional times. I think it's so wonderful to have this kind of holiday. It makes for a good excuse to get together with family you have not seen in a long time or just another reason to party on.

Another day in the daily grind Monday is done for everyone. It's the start of a new week! Time really flies by whether you're having fun or working... so remember that while you are young, it's good to appreciate the older people in your lives, your family members, or your circle of friends who have supported you all around. What do you feel when you get the feeling of 'time flying by' ? Do you party harder? or do you try to change your life? or do you try to help the world become a better place?

Do you believe in ghosts? So one of my favorite American TV shows is Ghost Adventures, where three guys travel around the world to haunted locations and try to use science to prove that ghosts (or spirits) really exist. Do you believe in ghosts? Why and how? Find out what I think at my blog below: http://lynnfoxx.blogspot.com/ Twitter. https://twitter.com/slivertwin
