Traditional Korean Houses

I want to introduce traditional Korean houses. The first one is a thatched house; it was a common house 100 years ago. Recently it isn't used in Korea. If you go to a Korean Folk Village, you'll see it. The next one is a tile-roofed house; it wasn't a common house 100 years ago, for it was very expensive. Now some people live in a tile-roofed house beause most people live in a ferroconcrete building. My grandmother lives in a tile-roofed house, but I don't want to live in that kind of house since that kind of house isn't convenient. I think Koreans need to protect these kinds of traditional houses.

Signal lamps in Korea.

These pictures are signal lamps in Korea. Korea recently start to install bicycles signal lamps, for a lot of people use bicycles in Korea. I haven't seen a bicycle signal in Korea because when I lived in Korea, it didn't exist. The second one is a pedestrian crossing signal lamp; it is common in Korea. If you want to cross a pedestrian crossing, you will wait for a green lamp. The last one is of traffic lights; it consist of three or four lamps. A arrow lamp is a turn signal. I haven't seen the turn signal in the USA. I think the arrow lamp need to install in the USA. If the USA installs the arrow lamp, car accidents will reduce.

Do you use a rice cooker?

I like a rice cooker. I usually use the rice cooker, for my dinner is rice. If I don't use the rice cooker, I'll spend a lot of time. It's very convenient. Just I'll push a button after I pour water and rice. Therefore, it's important to me.
