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 !

What happens in convenience store ?

leave a comment »

Many people go to the convenience store to be satisfied their needs

It is pretty easy to buy something with confidence of condition and quality

But It is true to be more expensive than discounted price store(E-mart ,Homeplus etc…)

And it offers customers products from their cooperate companies

Even they have some disadvantages, many people still go to there and it’s already necessary in ourlives.

If you think of purpose of visiting the convenience store, you may said that they open the shop at night times without considering

I agree with that, but we may need to more check the developing of duty of the store

 

First of all, you can buy some clothes

They do not sell the T-shirts, pants and very popular Items, but they sell the underwear, sox and stocking because it is hard to make a target to sell the many Items

Second of all, you can have a meal in the store with fast foods

As you know, it is easy to have when you do not have a time enough

And nowadays , there are many sort of fast foods in the store

For example, Samgagkimbop is one of famous food in convenience store

Third of all, you do not have to go to ATM or Bank to pay for your bills

The store manages your bills, and if you want , you can use home-delivery service

By the write down your name, contact number and address, you can send your packages everywhere in Korea

 

In addition, Some convenience stores change by atmosphere of area

In the Han river ,At the moment , many old fashion stores are transformed into a its own style of convenience stores

And also some stores are located in subway , and there are unmanned stores at Inchon airport and Kimpo airport

 

 

Have you tried to drink a bottle of beer or eat a noodle in the convenience store at night time?

Tteokbokki is a popular Korean snack food which is commonly purchased from street vendors or Pojangmacha. Originally it was called tteok jjim (떡찜), and was a broiled dish of sliced rice cake, meat, eggs, and seasoning. Tteok jjim an early variant of modern tteokbokki, was once a part of Korean royal court cuisine. This type of tteokbokki was made by broiling tteok, meat, vegetables, eggs, and seasonings in water, and then serving it topped with ginkgo nuts and walnuts. In its original form, tteokbokki, which was then known as gungjung tteokbokki, was a dish served in the royal court and regarded as a representative example of haute cuisine. The original tteokbokki was a stir-fried dish consisting of garaetteok (가래떡, cylinder-shaped tteok) combined with a variety of ingredients, such as beef, mung bean sprouts, parsley, shiitake mushrooms, carrots, and onions, and seasoned with soy sauce                                                                         from wikipedia

As long as ,you walk on the street you can easily see the Tteokbokki in the pojangmacha

Especially very crowed street, jongno,Myoungdong,Dongdaemoon….

 Sindang-dong in Seoul, where tteokbokki was first sold, is still very famous for the dish, which has become one of Korea’s most popular snack foods.

 Around 20~30 years ago , you could listen your request or favorite songs in the restaurant which sell tteokbokki  by DJ

It was kind of escape of reality

“Low price food with high quality nutrition and listening the music”

Nowadays, It is not inexpensive any more. But, still, it has own memories

Do you like spicy food?

Or do you think to try eating tteokbokki on the street like in Korean drama ?

 

Please taste it

You may need lots of water

 

There are many variety of tteokbokki
