Minority tribe in Indonesia has chosen to use Korean as their native language. The minority tribe with 60,000 population was on the verge of losing their own native language due to the lack of proper writing system. The city even plans to set up a Korean center which will be working on spreading Koreans around the city. Linguists hoped that this will be the stepping stone of spreading Korean globally.

As Korean is known as the easiest character to read and write (even not knowing the meaning of it) it is widely being loved by various people. Few of my friends took a day to read and write Korean even though they didn't know what it meant. They said the Korean characters look like circles, squares and few lines. I personally hope that Korean language can be spread to the people and tribe who doesn't have proper reading and writing system.

As the Korean language was developed to be spread out to the public easily, I hope that the language can be spread out globally easily as it was easily spread out to Korean people and to the tribe in Indonesia. Posted Sep 4, 2009 12:48 pm

S Korean launch 'partial success'
Few weeks ago, South Korea finally succeeded on launching the space shuttle after seven failures. The rocket was sold by the Russians and satellite was made by South Koreans. When the rocket was launching all the major broadcasting stations in Korea were broadcasting the launching moment starting from two hours before the launch.

It was the biggest project that was ever held since astronomical amount of money was put into it. The rocket launching seemed as a success until the announcement was made that launch was successful but the satellite wasn't on it's right orbit and is floating into the universe.

Despite all the money and all the effort that was put into the Naro satellite rocket, that final result was a failure, the satellite didn't go on it's planned orbit. However, now, after 8 failure, we have clearer grip on the rocket launching, and all we have to do is dream on and bring the next rocket launching into success.

There were official document discovered by British Newspaper indicating approval of Pakistani government to sell nuclear weapons to numbers of countries including Iran and North Korea. In this document says that Pakistani government wanted to send the blueprints of the nuclear weapon to Libya, Iran, China and North Korean.

Ever since the discovery of the nuclear weapon, and the first usage on the real situation on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, the usage of the nuclear weapon has been controversial. They have the treaty encouraging not to use nuclear weapon. However, there are few countries that has not been agreed to this treaty. North Korea is one of the countries that are not listening to the world of not using nor keeping nuclear weapon.

Countries should be able to defend themselves. They should be strong. However, the mis-usage of the weapon can be catastrophic. We should be respecting other countries and stop the nuclear weapon races.

As the beginning of 2009-10 NHL season is approaching, and all the pre-games and practice games are going on, it is certainly catching all North American's eyes and ears. Personally, I am a huge fan of ice hockey as well, and cannot wait till the 2009-10 NHL season starts. As the practice games are going on, there are lots of injuries and fights are going on during the games as well. It is a very tough competition between the divisions and it is a hard way to the top if you want to hold the stanley cup by yourself.

We heard the Sidney Crosby has injured himself on his groin and has been sitting out practices a lot lately. As the team captain, it is the great loss for the Penguins to lose Crosby even in practices. He should take care of himself more and let all the audience of NHL 2009-10 entertained with his powerful plays.

As Ice hockey is one of the most popular sports in North America and one of the reasons that are making North Americans feel nationalistic, we should pay more attention to NHL.
