Lonely but strong

When I was young, my mother used to leave for fishmaket where she sold the fish for making money. One day when she left home for work, I hold to her hand. She caressed my head and hold me tight, then I could tagged along with her. At the fish market I saw a vender which served pumkin soup, it smelled very good. After pestering mom to buy me a bowl, I can eat that pumpkin soup. It was so delicious. I said to mom, "I go to fishmarket everyday for this pumpkin soup" My mom just smiled at me.

When I was a little older and was a elementary school student, I was again going to the fish market with my mother. She used to take a bus, so I just follewed her riding riding a bike with a box of fish on it. I waited with mom at the bus stop until the bus came. But when she got on the bus, the driver yells at her, "You stink fish. Get off"
I understand that no one doesn't want to like fish smell in the early morning.

Have you heard about 'single-person household', which means a person who choose to stay single. The mose noticeable segment of society is 'Yuppies', who is between the ages of 25 and 35,live in cities and have good careers. They put their career ahead of family.

It's not a unique to Korea. Korean is just on the tail end of this trend. Japan,U.S.A, the number of this is closer to 30 percent. In sweden and some of the Nordic countries, the number is closer 50 percent.

This trend can be a benefit in lean economic times as they tend to have more flexible incomes and therefore spend more money on products. The growth of single households can greatly change the urban environment because they often come more restaurants,cafes and convenience stores. They can have an extremely positie effect on urban areas.

The day the rock star died

This article says about how much hard it is to live as a musician in these days,in that case rock star by interviewing with McConnell, a Toronto filmmaker and somtime musian himself.

McConnell set out in 2004 to make a film about the trials and tribulations of indie rock,but came out with a documentray subject. It seems to be a good one for those who want to be a musician,aspiring to walk through the golden gates of music industry. But he says that the music industry are becoming increasingly tarnished by oneline filesharing and plummeting album sales.

The music maket also became totally saturated because everybody thinks that they can make a music and be a singer. There are too many bands, labels but there're not enough people who support a scene.

We can see many canadian metal bands in his documentary, who left their family and even infant children behind as they follow their musical dreams. But the problem is that labels are looking for hitmakers. Of coure, the top band on the label get a lot but everyone else is left out to dry. You're either starving or you're not. You must not dive into the scene headfirst without knowing how much it's goint to cost them. Being signed to a label doesn't mean the success any more. You must be a realist. There's more middlemen to take money out of the pot.

He says, " You can try make your own CD, selling them to your fans or over the internet. but unless you already have an established fan base, you need the label. It's like when I tried to sell my documentray. I tried to sell them directly but for this i have to make more. I opted to work with distributor. Because they picked it up, put it in major video and record stores all over North America, and I could't have done that on my own. "
