설악산에 다녀왔어요.

나는 지난 주말에 친구들과 함께 설악산에 다녀왔다. 설악산은 한국에서 아주 유명한 산 중 하나이다. 우리는 아침 일찍 출발해서 설악산 국립공원에 도착했다.

처음에는 날씨가 조금 흐렸지만, 공기가 상쾌하고 기분이 좋았다. 우리는 천천히 산을 오르기 시작했다. 산길에는 아름다운 나무와 맑은 계곡이 있었다. 나는 그 풍경이 정말 아름답다고 생각했다.

산을 오르면서 우리는 여러 곳을 구경했다. 먼저 신흥사라는 절을 방문했다. 절은 조용하고 고요해서 마음이 편안해졌다. 절 근처에는 큰 부처님 동상이 있었다. 우리는 그 앞에서 사진을 찍었다.

그 후, 우리는 권금성으로 가는 케이블카를 탔다. 케이블카를 타고 올라가니 멋진 경치가 보였다. 높은 곳에서 아래를 내려다보니 산과 바다가 함께 보여서 정말 아름다웠다. 나는 친구들과 함께 감탄하며 사진을 많이 찍었다.

점심으로 우리는 산에서 유명한 감자전과 막국수를 먹었다. 감자전은 바삭하고 맛있었고, 막국수는 시원하고 맛있었다. 음식을 먹으면서 친구들과 이야기하며 즐거운 시간을 보냈다.

식사 후, 우리는 비룡폭포를 보러 갔다. 폭포는 물이 시원하게 떨어지고 있었고, 소리가 우렁찼다. 나는 폭포 앞에서 손을 씻었는데 물이 아주 차가웠다. 친구들과 함께 폭포 앞에서 사진을 찍고 잠시 쉬었다.

하산할 때는 다리가 조금 아팠지만, 마음은 행복했다. 설악산의 자연은 너무 아름다웠고, 좋은 추억을 많이 만들었다. 다음에 기회가 되면 단풍이 아름다운 가을에 다시 오고 싶다.

이 여행은 정말 즐거운 경험이었다. 😊

ALL ABOUT TURKıSH

A2 podcast

The price of bitcoin hit more than $100,000 for the first time as the value of the cryptocurrency continues to soar following the election of Donald Trump.

This came just hours after the President-elect indicated he'd take a lighter regulatory approach to the crypto industry during his presidency.

It climbed from $69,374 on the day of Trump's election on November 5 and rose as high as $103,713 on December 4, according to CoinDesk.

Just two years ago, bitcoin dropped below $17,000 following the collapse of crypto exchange FTX.

However, experts aren't sure how long the value of bitcoin will remain high as cryptocurrency is highly volatile.

Some are hopeful of future gains, but others continue to warn of investment risks.

Trump, who was once a crypto skeptic, has said he wants to make the US "the crypto capital of the planet." His campaign accepted donations in cryptocurrency and he has also launched World Liberty Financial, a new project with family members to trade cryptocurrencies.

Many in the crypto industry have welcomed Trump's victory, hoping that he'll be able to push through changes that they've long lobbied for — which, generally speaking, aim for an increased sense of legitimacy without too much red tape.

Trump has already made a move in that direction, saying he intends to nominate cryptocurrency advocate Paul Atkins to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Under current chair Gary Gensler, the SEC has cracked down on the crypto industry, penalizing a number of companies for breaking securities laws.

But what is cryptocurrency, really?

In basic terms, cryptocurrency is digital money. It is designed to work through an online network without a central authority — meaning it's typically not backed by any government or banking institution — and transactions get recorded with technology called a blockchain.
