In its heyday more than three hundred thousand Chinese lived in Incheon ' s Chinatown . At that time , Chinese labors began eating Jajangmyun as a cheap and simple dish . Son Dukjun , a Chinese - Korean who runs a Chinese restaurant says , " No one knows who first created Jajangmyun . But it started out as a noodle dish for Chinese labors . "- Jajangmyun was a big comfort for Chinese labors in Korea because it gave them a taste of their hometown . Jajangmyun , a noodle dish covered with Chinese bean , became exceedingly popular . - How did Jajangmyun taste in those days ? Son says , " The taste of Jajangmyun has changed dramatically since those days . Most people today wouldn ' t even be able to eat Jajangmyun cooked the original way . " Unlike today ' s sweet - tasting Jajangmyun , the original Jajangmyun was very salty it was cooked with traditional Chinese bean paste , which was fermented for a year . - The Chinese bean used in Korea today tastes sweet because factories add caramel to it to give it its dark color , Jajangmyun , which has been transformed to suit the taste of Koreans , has now become a Korean dish , Son says , " Today ' s Jajangmyun tastes totally different from that of the past it should really be regarded Korean native dish that was born in Incheon . " - You may say that there is nothing special about British Food . How about tasting Fish and Chips then ? - There is nothing more British than Fish and Chips . Hot fish and potato chips , covered with in salt and vinegar , wrapped in newspaper and eaten outside on a wintry day is the best food in the world . So how did this British dish begin ? - Potato chips were a cheap , basic food of the industrial north and fried fish was common in London ' s East End . The two foods were combined in the middle eighteen hundred years and the first Fish and Chip shops began appearing in the early eighteen sixtys . These shops were mostly small family businesses run from the ' front room ' of the house . - By the end of the nineteenth century the Fish and Chips business was booming . The development of the steamboat made it possible to catch more fish and steam railways helped Fish and Chip shops to spread all over the country . Fish and Chips are rich in protein , fiber , iron and vitamins , so they were an important part of a family ' s weekly diet during the Second World War . - Today , there are around eight thousand five hundred Fish and Chip shops in the UK , eight times more than McDonald ' s , making British and Chips the nation ' s favorite fast food . - I really like to make spaghetti because it is delicious and easy . All you have to do is boil spaghetti noodles with some salt for about ten mimutes . Then , you cook tomatoes , onions , peppers , beef and some olive oil in a skillet . When the sauce is done , you poor it over the spaghetti noodles . - The little prince has left his tiny planet in space . He is traveling around , trying hard to understand the people on Earth . - The Fox - " Good morning , " said the little prince . - " Good morning , I ' m a fox , and I ' m not tamed , " said the fox . - " What does ' tamed ' mean ? asked the little prince . " It means to establish ties , " said the fox . " To me , you are nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys . To you , I am more than a fox that is like a hundred thousand other foxes . But if you tame me , we ' ll be special to one another . You ' ll be the only boy for me . And I ' ll be the only fox for you . My life is monotonous . But if you tame me , It will feel like the sun has come to shine on me ! I shall know the sound of your step , different from all the others ! If you tame me , we shall love each other . " Then the fox stared at the little prince for a long time . " Please . .. tame me ! " he said . - The Rail Man - The little prince met a railway man . Suddenly , a train rushed past extraordinary fast . The little prince asked man why all the passengers were in such a hurry . He wanted to know what they were looking for . The railway man said he didn ' t know . The little prince said goodbye and kept traveling . He kept wondering wat everybody on Earth was looking for . Eventually , he reached an old well . He pulled up the bucket and drank some of the sweet - tasting water . It was such a simple thing to do , but the little prince felt happy . Perhaps what everybody is looking for , he thought , could be found in a little water . - Literature is important in our lives because it teaches us to express ourselves clearly and logically by allowing us to read the organized thoughts of others . Books and other forms of literature are also important because they preserve our histories and teach us many things . - Books are always there for us . They can give us advice , make us cry , bring us happiness and cause anger . They are our best friends sometimes because they can understand and connect with us but they don ' t judge us for what we want , think , or feel . - French people say that they can do without the sun but cannot do without wine . The reason has to do with their dining culture . Dining is a very important part of life in France , and it is natural to drink wine with each meal , at noon or in the evening . Every worker does it , and during family meals even young children are given a small glass of wine , though with water added . - Meals , especially family meals , are very important to the French . When it comes to dining the French way , the flavor of the meal , the relation , and the conversation are all of equal importance . Wine , which is sipped slowly , enhances the flavor of the food , slows down the pace of the meal , and makes communication more open . Meals there may last hours , because everybody enjoys talking and laughing with one another as they enjoy wine . - Being such an important part of the meal , the wine is carefully chosen . Every region of France produces its own kind of wine , which is named after the region . Some of these are Champagne ( the very special sparking white wine ) , Bordeaux ( red wine ) , Merlot ( dark red wine ) and Chardonnay ( white wine ) . To describe the taste of different wines , you will find that you need to learn a special vocabulary . Wine flavor are described with words like dry , fruity , full - bodied , young , thin , grassy , and nutty . - two hundred meters from the Eiffel Tower are the old cellars of the Passy Abbey where the Paris Wine Museum is located . During the fourteenth century , monks there made a famous wine , which was much appreciated by the king . This charming museum relates the whole history of wines and vineyards . It also describes wine in detail , from the production to its preservation and the tools used by wine growers . - Wine was first produced in France two thousand years ago , and modern France has been the world ' s top producer and consumer of wine for a number of years . To the French , wine is more than a beverage , it is part of their national heritage . - Americans do not gifts as often as Korean do . - What are their ideas and customs about giving gifts ? - Except for a few special occasions , Americans are big gift - givers . There ' s no exchange of presents among business popple , and in fact , if one businessman were to give another a present , it might be seen as an attempt to get something back in return . Even friends rarely exchange presents . In my case , when I go abroad , I try to bring back small present for my closest friends , but nobody would feel upset if I don ' t . - In America , you usually open a present immediately in front of the person who has given it . The best reaction is to show delight at receiving something so lovely and thoughtful . - You may want to bring a bottle of wine or flowers to a dinner party , but you ' re never expected to do so . Nobody will mind if you bring wine , but your host might not serve it that evening . - Christmas is the one occasion when everybody gather together to exchange gifts between family members and special friends . Many people also give gifts to those who have been helpful to them during the year such as babysitters , maids and newspaper delivers . - a very good restaurant in its category , excellent cuisine , worth a special detour , exceptional cuisine , worth a special journey - Famous throughout Europe and now North America , the red - jacket Michelin Guide has been ranking fine restaurants for more than a century . First published in nineteen hundred year , the Guide is put out annually and has become a bestseller . - The Michelin Guide ranks restaurants across Europe and most recently New York City . Their star system of ranking is universal , but short passages for each restaurant are written in each country ' s dominant language . Within the Guide , the name , the quality , the location , phone number , price range , and working hours in winter and summer are summarized into three to six lines . Several symbols , indicating outdoor seating , nonsmoking section , etc . help readers to understand quickly and easily . - Key to the Guide ' s success is its impartial system for evaluating restaurants . Inspections are carried out anonymously so each establishment does not know precisely when it is being evaluated , although they can expect a visit from a Michelin representative once every eighteen months . The Guide is also renowned for its strictness . Stars are given out sparingly and only to the most deserving restaurants , with just fifty three star restaurants in all of France and only three in the United Kingdom given up until two thousand five . - Food in Europe is taken very seriously , especially in France where chefs have near superstar status . As the premier publication on food , the Michelin Guide is influential in making , and sometimes breaking , both restaurant and chefs . If a restaurant is awarded a star , its reputation is enhanced and it becomes booked out very quickly . So important are these reviews that chefs have been known to kill themselves after losing even a single star . - Having expanded into the North American market , it is only a matter of time before the Michelin Guide travels the roads of Asia . How will restaurants here measure up against the best in the world ? only time and the Michelin Guide , will tell . - Americans have a wonderful traditional cure for a cold . It ' s chicken soup that contains garlic and pepper . Some say garlic and pepper help you breathe more easily . These days , scientists agree that chicken soup can make you feel better . Research at an American university showed that chicken soup really does help the body fight germs . - Chicken soup is just one kind of home remedy . In Europe , some people use oregano oil to cure colds . This wild herb oil is very powerful : It can kill germs that other that other medicines , even ' antibiotics , cannot kill . Nowadays , oregano oil is no longer made only at home . Companies now produce oregano oil for medical use . - The Australian Aborigines use oils from native plants , like the tea tree . They pick a leaf from the tree , crush it with their fingers and put it in their noses . Tea tree oil is now popular all over the world . It is well known to scientists for its ability to kill germs . - The Korean have been using ginger as a cold cure for centuries . They make ginger tea by adding this spicy plant to hot water . Scientists say that ginger helps people with cold symptoms and warms the body . - Next time you have a cold , don ' t go to the pharmacy . Try your kitchen cupboard . You may find a cheap , simple cure . People have known for many years that traditional home remedies work , and scientists are finally realizing this , too . - antibiotic : a medicine that kills bacteria and cure infections . - Psychologists have found some basic differences between the sexes in the way that they communicate . Firstly , women typically prefer to talk about their feelings , while men tend to withdraw , when a couple has a problem , a woman will typically try to solve the problem by talking about it with her partner . A man , on the other hand , is usually more inclined to solve the problem alone . He therefore removes himself from the situation , or tries to get away from the woman to be by himself . - Secondly , men and women respond to each other differently . Both men and women are very good at reading their partners ' feelings . The difference is in their reactions . Women , psychologists say , are receptive and responsive . This means that they actually feel what their partner is feeling . In contrast , men understand their partner ' s feelings , but don ' t actually feel them themselves . For example , if a man is stressed , his partner will see this and become stressed . However , if a women is stressed , her partner will recognize it but won ' t become stressed . - In the book Men Are From Mars , Women From Venus by John Gray , men and women are described as originally being from different planets . As a result , they naturally have different styles of thinking , behaving , and communicating . These fundamental differences can cause misunderstandings between them . The most important thing for a healthy relationship is to realized and understand these differences . - “ I had no choice but to eat poorly every day since I didn ' t have much income . I never thought such an experience would lead to today ' s success . " These are the worlds of Kim Y . H , the owner of a popular cooking recipe website called " Namoolinae . "- Until two thousand two , Kim earned his living as a freelance web designer . He barely earned four hundred thousand won per month . After paying rent , he only had one hundred thousand won left over for food . But he still wanted to eat well , and he started thinking of ways to prepare meals with only two thousand won . He posted his daily meals on the web . This was the start of " Namoolinae . "- Encouraged by his website ' s popularity , Kim published a recipe book titled " two thousand won Meals , " With more than a million copies sold , the book became a bestseller . In July 2005 , Kim published his second recipe book . And recently , a portal site began posting his recipe series . The portal site offered to pay him , but he refused . He says , " I don ' t wish to earn money using the Internet . I will share my knowledge online for no charge and earn money elsewhere . "- Kim Y . H is an example of someone who found a way to benefit from today ' s modern technology . However , it was his great cooking skills and his unique recipes that brought him his tremendous success . - Heavy drinking causes problems everywhere in the world , and the U . S . is not an exception . How serious are the problems ? What are the laws concerning alcohol ? - Drinking a small amount of alcohol may not be harmful . But the truth is that million people in the United States have a drinking problem . one family in three is touched by alcoholism . Alcohol - related problem cause one hundred thousand deaths every year . There are twenty five thousand traffic accidents each year in America in which someone is killed because of drunk driving . And drunkeness costs society ninety eight billion dollar every year . - In America , there are very strict laws concerning alcohol . In many states , a person must be twenty one years old before he or she may buy or drink alcohol . If someone serves alcohol to a teenager , that person may be arrested . Parents may also be arrested if their teenage sons or daughters have a party where alcohol is served . If a person has been drinking alcohol , he or she must not drive . Drivers must not carry an open can or bottle of alcohol in their cars either . - Men are supposed to be strong , confident , and ambitious . Women are supposed to be sensitive and gentle . Society expects specific forms of behavior from males and females and seems to dislike it when people behave differently . People even make fun of sensitive men and ambitious women . Where do these social roles come from ? Is it natural for women to be caring ? Is it natural for men to be violent ? Or does society teach us these roles ? - Some say that males and females are born with certain tendencies . There is some evidence to support the idea that genes might play a role in Shaping gender - related behavior . For example , baby girls can see faces better than boys can and respond more to other people . This means that females are more aware of others . But this doesn ' t mean that all females are sensitive . Nor does it mean that all males are insensitive . - As children grow and learn about their roles in the world , they go through a process of socialization . Society tells them how it expects them to behave as a boy or as a girl . For example , a little girl who is given dolls and toy kitchens is learning to become a mother and housewife . A boy who is given toy guns is learning to be violent . As children grow , this socialization of gender controls their behavior and their choices . - All of this socialization of gender creates standards of behavior for males and females . These standards are known as gender stereotypes , and have long been widely accepted in society . This long term acceptance can make gender stereotypes difficult to overcome . For example , it is still relatively uncommon to see female police officers or male nurses . Nevertheless , since scientific and psychological research into this field began , more people are starting to question to question these stereotypes and become more open - mind . - Today Vincent Van Gogh is one of the famous painters of all time . In nineteen ninety , one hundred years after his death , one of his paintings sold for eighty two point five million dollar . At the time , it was the most money ever paid for a work of art . - Unfortunately , Van Gogh never knew his own fame . When he died at the age of thirty seven , he was poor and unsuccessful . He failed as a church minister and art seller . He even failed as an art student . He entered an art school but quit a few months later . - For the last five years of his life , Van Gogh studied art on his own . He painted many pictures and tried many different styles . one of his famous styles is based on Impressionism . Impressionism uses bright colors and short , thick brush marks . In Van Gogh ' s paintings , these lively brush marks seem to move . He used this style to express his deep feelings . - Van Gogh often felt lonely and sad . His closest friend was his brother , Theo . Because Van Gogh focused only on his paintings , Theo often gave him money . He even tried to sell Vincent ' s paintings . The two brothers wrote many letters to each other during their lifetime . These letters show Van Gogh ' s thoughts about paintings , his relationship with Theo , and his depression . - His mood became worse over the years . one day he even cut off half of his left ear . Then in eighteen ninety , Vincent shot himself in the chest . He died two days later in bed in his brother ' s arms . Thought Vincent never knew it , people will always admire his great talent and sad , beautiful works . - Care more than others think wise . Risk more than others think safe 0 Dream more than others think practical . Expect more than others think possible . - Howard Schultz , CEO starbucks Coffee , ' Pour Yor Heart Into It .

In Howl ' s Moving Castle , an evil witch curses young Sophie , turning her into an old woman .

For Indians food is a gift from the gods and is treated with respect , and this respect extends to their attention to manners while eating . - The ingredients of an Indian meal are based on six rasas , or flavors , sweet , salty , bitter , sour , and pungent . Within these flavors , each region of India has developed its own cuisine using different combinations of spices . Throughout India , the most popular dish is thali , a combination meal containing individual servings , consisting of rice and vegetables with meat , chicken , or fist . Thalis , along with most other Indian main courses , are served with 오미 ( lentil soup ) , raita ( curd ) , and nan ( bread ) . Tandoori ( backed in a coal oven ) style dishes are also common throughout India . - Along with this rich variety of food , India has developed some interesting table manners , which contrast to those of other nations . Noticeable among these is that most Indians eat using their right hands , but never with their left hands , which is considered unclean . This is very different from most Westerners , who use knives , forks , and spoons to eat . Also , there is a more formal arrangement with regard to seating in India , with people sitting in a clockwise direction , starting with the eldest . - The foof in India is certainly unique and reflects the character and colors of Indian culture , This , along with its universally admired taste , has resulted in India ' s food becoming its most popular export , with curry a dish that everybody knows . - When the Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre Museum in nineteen eleven , newspaper headlines around the world claimed that the most famous painting in the world had been stolen . It was recovered two years later , after French police solved the mystery of its disappearance . However , may more mysteries still surround the famous painting . - The Mona Lisa is the portrait of a woman from Florence , Italy , painted by Leonardo da Vinci between fifteen three and fifteen six . Despite knowing this information , art historians have no diea who Mona Lisa was . She is suspected to have been Lisa , the wife of a rich Florentine , francesco del Gioconob . Still , no one is certain of the actual identity of the model . Although Leonardo kept notebooks recording the names of the people he painted , there is no mention of the particular woman . Some historian think she may not be a single woman at all . Leonardo may have combined the features of many woman , or simple imagined her . - If you spend some time studying the Mona Lisa , you will begin to understand what makes it so special . First , you will see how alive the woman in the painting appears . It seems that Leonardo devised some technique that blurred parts of the painting and used softened colors . This makes Mona Lisa ' s features slightly unclear . This can be particularly seen in her smile , which gives different impression on different days . Louvre Gallery workers say that on some days she looks happy but on other days she does not . Her mysterious smile has been studied and discussed for centuries . - Unfortunately , owing to its age , the painting is now beginning to show some signs of damage . This concerns art historians and art lovers alike , who hope that painting will survive to provide mystery and beauty for centuries to come . 2013 . 3 . 16 . 영 ~ 철 이 없 는 이
