Jung Yu's Life - by Rangel

Jung Yu is my first Korean friend that I've met in Pacificic Gateway, which is my English school in Canada. He is a real nice guy, very funny, everyody knows him at the school. He was a soldier in Korea for two years, he also studies engineering there, but what he really wants to be is an accountant in Canada.

He is twenty-two years old in Canada, but is his country he is a twenty-four years old guy, this is hard for me to understand, because in Korea they have a different way to count their age, but I think that, one day, I will learn their system of counting the years.

He has a sister in Korea, a nineteen years old girl, she is a student there. Jung Yu wants to be an acountant, like a said before, this is his dream job, and I said to him that my homestay is an acountant, she has just retired, but she was an accountant.

Well, each day a find out a little bit more of my friend's life, yesterday he told me that in korea is very commom to eat rice for breakfast, because in Korea they believe that breakfast is the most important meal in the day, this is very interesting for me, because at the breakfast, in Brazil, we use to eat bread whith jam or butter, cheese, and a cup of hot coffey or hot chocolate. He said, also, that he would like being an engineer, that's why he studies a lot in his country.
Jung Yu is also very gentle, if you need something just ask him, because he is a nice guy and we can count on him anytime.

Jung Yu was telling me that he had a cute girlfriend in his country, but this was before the military service, because, when he went to the military service he had to broke up with her.

His father has just retired in Korea, he worked in a company there, and now, he bought a restaurant and, with his mother, they have their own business.

Jung Yu is also very smart, at the end of this session he will move to the next session, it means that, each day he learns more and more.

When he went to the next session I will miss him a lot, because he is very friendly and I Like him.

Here, in Toronto, he is living near a subway station called dufering, I don't know that place, but it's the west side of Toronto and I am living near finch, the last north station.

He also said me that he is living in a homestay with another korean friend, like me, but there is a difference, because I'm living without any friend, it means that it's only me and my homestay.

He said to me that he has already seen the snow before, because the winter in Korea is almost like Canada, but me, wow man I've never seen the snow, because the weather in my country is not like Korea or Canada, In Brazil, most part of the year is summer.

Well, I think that, after reading this post, you will know lots of things about my Korean friend, but, the most important think that you must know about him, is that he is great guy and a nice friend.
