wild duck family made home at Sinchundunchi, Daegu

They were staying between Suseong-gyo and Dongsin-gyo. Korean word 'Gyo' is bridge and Korean word for step-stone bridge is 'Jinggeumdari'.

When Daegu city government were building the jinggeumdari, I did notice that wild duck family staying same place most of time.

So I took the photo of them with my Nokia 6210s phone camera.

#1 I think they were staying there quite sometime now. I have no idea how long they were there because they looked same to me.

#5 Mostly she staying there for long time.


#6 Some kids wanted to feed wild duck. That's why they were looking at the same direction.


#7 Finally, she will trying to follow her baby.



p.s. My original writing is here in Korean.

p.s. I couldn't see them anymore. They probably were heading to the south for staying at warm weather. They were left there at first October.

reality of Korean's English communication skill

I saw a group which name is Daegu Friendship Club in facebook.com and I was glad about their effort. But, I would like to let them know the reality so I wrote a article here http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=25235250140#/topic.php?uid=25235250140&topic=4887

I wrote this because I would like to help their activities.

Topic name : Please read this, if you are Korean.
I don't know why I am doing this but you have to see the reality of Korean's English skill.
This group's admin, Daegu Central offer the friendship to the Daegu citizens but how is it going to happen? Because foreigners can't communicate with Koreans. That is the truth.

If you don't want to believe me, I will tell you other story. I have been check out a lots of group in facebook but I couldn't find any active group with many Koreans. I know there has a lots of active group, if most of them are foreigners or American-Koreans.

I believe you probably join facebook for learn English so I hope you should learn English properly.
If you are interested in learn English properly, you can see article here http://kr.blog.yahoo.com/asrai21c/
