My name is Minji and Im a girl whos 16 years old. Im a Korean-Canadian who was born in Korea. If you are wondering about how I look like, I have black or dark brownish long hair, wear black glasses, and Im kind of short/medium compared to my friends. Of course, Im Asian, but look more like Korean because Im Korean. Id be sad if Im not. I love playing all kinds of sports, such as basketball, netball, field hockey, roller hockey, rugby, etc. Im in several sports teams as well. Although I look really weak, Im strong inside. I have tones of hobbies that if I list them, there would be no end. Ill list a few, though. I love cross-stitching, stamp collecting, listening to music, playing instruments, going out with friends, etc. Im a very active and funny person that youll ever find. *^^* Im interested in Korea because I was born in Korea and Im Korean. Korea has unique history, culture, custom, and language compared to other countries in the world. Even though Korea is one of the smallest countries in the world, its one of the strongest country economically. I should simply say that I love Koreas uniqueness.

Episode
Well, yes. It was on the subway and I couldnt find a seat. I was holding heavy plastic bags from Dong Dae Mun Si Jang (Dongdaemun Market). At that time, an old man who was sitting told me that hell hold them for me since hes sitting down. First, I thought that hed take my stuff away after pretending to be holding them. So, I told him that its okay. But, he kept on saying that hell hold them for me. So, I let him hold them. Since, he couldnt understand English, at least I thought, I told my mom in English how hes mean and such a stupid old man he is. That was my mistake. After getting off the subway, my mom told me that when she was young, there were always those nice old people holding heavy stuff for her when she couldnt find a place to sit. I was ashamed of myself because I didnt appreciate his help, but swore in English so that he couldnt understand me.

About Canada
Canada is the second biggest country in the world. Its right after Russia, the biggest country. Canada is culturally diverse, especially in the Vancouver area, which I live in. My friends are all from different ountries. For example, Russia, USA, Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Poland, Romania, Croatia, Bosnia, Germany, Fiji, Mexico, Iran, Ghana, Uganda, Cuba, Vietnam, Philippines, Turkey, Somalia, etc. The list can go on forever. Everyones pretty much accepted and respected, although sometimes there are racists, who doesnt like other cultures based on their looks. Canada is famous for salmon, which is originally from Natives who are the first owners of Canada. They are D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!
