A Making natural humidifier

with one comment

I tried to make a natural humidifier

I know that i can  easily buy the electronic  humidifier at the store

But if i buy the electronic stuff, i have to clean the inside of product and change the water every day

I really hate to add a house hold  because At the moment ,I ‘m trying to set up and clean up the meals

80% of house hold is my responsiblity

Because my wife is having a baby

Anyway it is pretty easy to make the natural humidifier

I made two natral humidifiers

It is very simple

if you want to try it ,you should prepare big bowl ,herb which live in water without soils ,charcoal and water

Simply you can buy all of them at big discounted price mart (e-mart ,lotte mart..etc)img_3130

herb: 3,000KRW /each

Big bowl :20,000KRW    

charcoal:10,000KRW

You can easily pick up the chacoal in the Korean restaurant  but  i’m not sure its effect

if you think of  the hunmidfier’s effect , you can see the reduced water in the bowl

I ‘m satisfied with that because of its effects and i do not have to clean and change the water every day

Twice a week would be better !

Be careful voice phishing

with one comment

Have you ever got a call such a voice phishing ?eca084ed9994

I’ve got many callings from post office

sometimes sound like a mechanical recording voice or telemarketer

the caller usually said that my credit card has been returned so they need my personal I.d number or bank account

Many korean  think  that many Korean-Chinese make voice phishing calling

And i also …

But all the callers were Seoulites, just like my next-door neighbors. I did not doubt them because they sound like real post office officials, policemen and financial regulator

In foreign countries, voice fishing is typically used to steal credit card numbers or other private financial information for identity theft schemes.

But in Korea, most voice phishers try to dupe unsuspecting people into sending their money to criminals. Although most such scams fail, they sometimes succeed.

According to the Anti-Corruption & Civil Rights Commission, a total of 77,177 cases of voice phishing were reported last year, with the damage reaching 2.2 billion won.

Voice fishing even cost a life. Late last month, a female university student in Gimhae, South Gyeongsang Province, committed suicide after transferring about 6.4 million won to a voice phisher.

Be careful !

protecting your personal information !

Exploring of Chinatown

leave a comment »

 

A Chinatown is a section of an urban area with a large number of Chinese residents, usually outside of Greater China. Chinatowns are present throughout the world, including those in East Asia, Southeast Asia, North America, South America, Australasia, and Europe.

In Korea, Nowadays, you can easily see or meet many Chinese in Korea or your country.

There are many Chinatowns around world, but I think that every china town has its own culture and characteristics, because people who live in China town have adapted their selves to a new environment

For example, Jjajangmyeon is one of very famous and favorite food in Korea

And many people believe that the food came from china town in Inchon

It is true its origin, but the food is not traditional Chinese food

It is Korean food which made from Chinese who lived in Korea
