Every night I go to bed at 9, mostly because it’s hard for me to get up in the morning. Is kimchi a famous breakfast in korea? Everybody seems to eat it.

    Hi, kimchi is a traditional food and has a long history like thanksgiving in America. Kimchi has its own taste but I can’t see much Americans who don’t like kimchi. We eat kimchi at every meal and I hope you like kimchi if you try it.

I don’t know much about Mexico culture. But we celebrate Halloween at my English academy. I know how you celebrate Halloween. You go around and trick or treat. We do not trick or treat.

How much candy did you get?

Seung Min Park, Korea

Hi Carlitos, Koreans often celebrate Halloween like America, but it’s not a national holiday,so we celebrate it very shortly.When we celebrate Halloween, we just go to the door, and ring the bell. Then, they will give candy. For average Korean people don’t eat many tacos but I really like them. Bye~!

Most of the Koreans eat mint candies. What candy do Americans like?

We wake up about 7 am but we go to bed at 10 pm.

Have you had Korean food before? Our favorite food is samgyup sal, it is pork. we are very curious about your favorite food.
Bye Bye ㅋㅋ

    I’m curious too. Swine flu is getting really bad here and spreading fast. Many schools are closing for a week because of it. How is it in America?
