Iowa City's Freedom!

On a coin of Iowa City, there is a word, 'LIBERTY'. I really understand the meaning. It is my first time to abroad, so I do not know Iowan culture or rules well. However, I am sure that most Iowan people, especially students, are free citizens. Whenever I talk with some Iowan students, I think that they know how to say their opinions clearly. Korean students also think about something wisely, but they prefer to listen to what other people say rather than express their ideas. Iowan students sit and study wherever they want: a coffee shop, a bench in a park, even the ground. In Korea, most students usually study in a library: there is extremely silent. In Iowa City, most people are comfortable and kind, and many institutions are open to every people. I often feel freedom for some things like those. It is not a big deal, but it is real!

Party? Party!

It is my first time to abroad, so everything in Iowa city makes me curious. When I was in Korea, there were just few meetings and parties for students. While I have been staying in Iowa city, I knew that many students were used to gathering together for various purposes. Among those meetings, a homecoming party attracted my attention. A homecoming party is a kind of a dancing party for every student, and entries for the party need to wear dresses. When I went to a mall with my aunt and niece because my niece wanted to buy a special dress, I was surprised that many young people were choosing suitable dresses. They looked really excited and happy, so I also wanted to feel like that. A homecoming party is only three weeks off. Now I am singing for joy because I will be able to go there!
