check it here if you plan to go to korea later.

someone answered a brilliant question for me. you can know where the best place to eat Halal food and what most Koreans do.

excerpt:

It's a strange country

It's true foreigners haven't had good impressions of Korean taxi drivers. Some drivers refuse to drive you to your destination saying the traffic is bad there and some even charge higher fares.

Koreans tend to avoid foreigners because they find it embarrassing when they can't communicate with the foreigners in English.

If you are looking for halal food, you may go to Itewon to find one. Just go to the first masjid built in Korea, then you may find many halal restaurants around it.

oh just read it. very2 detailed.

ta then~!

24 tips on HOW TO STUDY SMART

a'kum n ello..

my father e-mailed this to me...so..i'll be an aina and do some study thing..huhu..

1. Be good to yourself.
Keep physically
fit and rested.

2. Attitude is all-important.
Use positive affirmations: "I can pass American History." Provide your
own psychological edge, be it a positive attitude or a "lucky pen."

3. Be a chronic enthusiast!

3. Used textbooks may
provide insights on a course.

4. Sit in the front row;
if you must sit toward the back of the room, lean forward. Attentiveness
and concentration increase markedly.

5. Don't miss the first
and last minutes of class. They are crucial — important announcements,
questions on test, etc.

6. Use
a variety of study techniques.

• Tape chapters. Listen
  to tape on way to school, work.


• Use index cards for quick
  review.


• Keep entries simple.


• Remember:
  frequent review takes facts from short-term memory to long-term memory
  — learning as opposed to cramming (review
  memory
  techniques).

7. Study in short bursts.
(First and last facts are remembered best; therefore, it will accelerate
learning.)

8. Review notes immediately
after class. Even for five minutes. Something magical happens! (review

note taking techniques.)

9. Review your notes out
loud. Read your chapters out loud.

10. Appearance raises
grades. Neatness counts. Word processors are a plus. If handwritten,
use erasable pen.

11. Don't waste
time rereading. Rely on "pen in hand" and SQ3R.

12. Test professors before
they test you. Ask questions about what kind of test to expect,
what material will be covered.

13. Become an expert test
taker.

14. Go with initial hunches.

15. Stay with initial
hunches.

16. Study
according to your biological clock. Are you "normal," a night owl,
or an early bird?

17. Eliminate stress in
your life.

18. EXERCISE is the
best antidote.

19. Make extra credit
mandatory.

20. Never miss a class.
This is considered mandatory by "A" students.

out. Don't be afraid to drop a course that is not working for you.

a friend's paper. Use it as a learning experience.

Study smart—not hard!
Time
management skills and discipline pay off.
