The Seoul Public Transportation

The Seoul public transportation system is convenient and systematic. Also the making connections between the bus and the subway is working well. The new traffic order system was initiated 2 years ago. It is establishment created a substantial traffic network for Seoul. The central bus-only lane made a more effective system because now the bus service is fast and punctual. Also it has cost the public a little additional money to change the system. Now most people can reduce their travel expenses. In the future, there needs to be an increase in the number of central bus-only lanes. Seoul has many subway lines that reach many destinations. Transferring anywhere is fast. However, changing the bus number, and some reckless driving causes passenger to feel uneasy. Aslo the rush hours are crowded. So it is hard to take the bus and the subway. But the traffic system policy has been changed, and the new traffic system of Seoul has potential as a system reformed. It is easy to use.

However most people know that list exists of the 7 World Wonders, only few can name them. The list of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World was originally complied around the second century B.C. Like the ancient list, the new ones include fascinating monuments and structures that changed the existing landscape such as the Great Wall of China, Taj Mahal of Agra in India, the Temple of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, and the Inca City of Machu Picchu in Peru are a few example. Now some Archaeologists work in areas where ancient buildings have been preserved.

Mimic Diet

Do you think what the real beauty is? Whenever we turn on the T.V, we see beautiful women every day, and there are something in common. They have slim body.

I think they look like competing their weight to be slimmer. However sometimes they have some health problems because of the severe diet such as the kidney disease. It isn’t the only their problems, it is very severe social problems nowadays. The young often watch T.V, and they think the beauty is slim body, so they don’t eat, and go on a diet eventhough they 13 or 14 years old.  Though we have to think what the beauty is truly, and give a good model to the younger generation.
