This is Oxford.
Because I do not have my Internet account from Oxford Brookes Univ. yet.
I expect I will get the account on Monday (Tomorrow). If it isn't, Inshalla!
So.. This is Coffee Republic (one of the coffee store in the UK) and I post this article by Payment wireless Internet service (The Cloud).
OK... I am here for one week. Not short or Not long period.
Unfortunately, I am SAME as when I was on South Korea, London or Brighton.
OK!! I will study hard!!
Last week, this city was so busy because Flooding.
However, my residence is located the high area in Oxford so I do not have any damage about Flooding. (Sorry! It's not you wanted)
Just... the train does not go to London directly. (Take the replacement bus from Oxford station and you can take the train at Didcot Parkway station to Reading or London // Detail info http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/)
However, the weather is getting better now.
I hope I post my life and study in Oxford soon. (by my uni account)
Do not worry! It could be come soon.
(P.S) Quite Sad news for me. 30th July (Tomorrow) is my 26th Birthday.

Relative News
Pakistan militant cleric killed [BBC NEWS]
Pakistan's Red Mosque leader killed [Aljazeera English]
(Add) I talked with my roommates who comes from Pakistan. They think it is very shameful situation and do not believe students who are in Red mosque are relative with Terror Group such as Taliban.

Today is 7, July.
We have enjoyed the 'Live Earth' Concert and thought 'Climate change' with lots of people. Good.
Also, BBC Gaza correspond, Alan Johnston, who was kidnapped by an armed group in Gaza, returned to his house. Good.
Wow.. After two years, our world finds the peace finally, doesn't it?
Hang on minute! What's the headline? 'Iraq market truck bomb kills 105'
Oh my dear... After two years, we see the massacre again?

Why am I in England.
Please read this article before when you read this post.
English Is The Golden Tongue for S. Koreans
SEOUL -- Just a week into his summer vacation, 15-year-old Min-Kyu Kim
already has a tight schedule and ambitious goals: On this particular day, he
intends to memorize 600 words of English vocabulary, solve 10 pages of SSAT math
problems and take practice tests for English. He estimates the tests... more – by Joohee ChoFrom Washingtonpost.com (The Washington Post)
1, I met my Korean friend on an Instant Messenger.
Friend: "I do not understand why people study at oversea country"
Me: "Why?"
Friend: "Because I think if someone study more incentive, it's enough in my country"
I did not answer that because I agree with him.
2, Some months ago, my sister couple traveled some European countries and I traveled France and Italy with them.
The one thing that I surprised to them was they communicated better than me in there. Of course, they speak a bit of English and don't speak other languages.
My sister husband said "Simply the best"
3, I serious consider to attend Pre-sessional course from 23rd, July at Oxford Brookes University.
The problem is money. The course fee and housing fee are quiet expensive for me. (About... more than £2500 together)
If I got IELTS overall 6 (with Reading and Writing over 6), I do not need to attend that course. But...
How much have I spended money and time for learning English?
And, how much improve my English?
Why do I learn English in the UK where has lots of incidents?
The answer is Oh My GOD...
