During the last five months, many people have crowded around the Kyobo Building intersection in Seoul. Why did this congestion happen? This reason is that famous actors such as Jang Dong-gun, Ahn Sung-kee, Park Joong-hoon, and Lee Jun-ki and directors demonstrated against the government's plan to halve the screen quota. The Korean government announced the reduction of the screen quota on January 26. The screen quota is that theaters should show Korean movies for a designated number of days. In Korea, the screen quota has been carried out since 1967 and has been 146 days since 1985. Han Duk-soo

We learn a lot of things from traveling. I will never forget a short trip to Australia last winter vacation although it was only for six days and seven nights. I had a free ticket to go there at the end of last year. I felt it was like a big gift to me after hard working. It snowed a lot the day I departed. The snowy scenery out of the window made me get lost in thought. I seriously thought about the most important thing in my life and what I am doing to help achieve that. People say traveling is out of their routine life. It sure is, and it makes people have a chance to look at their past and
