- What's the good merit/demerit of Nomad?

(nomad: 유목민)

They have no their own land and constructions. Because they have no need to have their own land and houses. But they should to move by the weather or for food. And not-having the house is one of the best merits comparing the high-cost-housing in Korea. And they might have the free spirit and have no desire for materials. Because they should be prepared to move somewhere at any time. They could build a culture but it is not easy to build a civilization.  

- Which one is more important in Korean-food, garlic vs spring onion.

In my case, I prefer garlic. Garlic helps ferment. Especially making the kimchi. But spring onion could be replaced by onions or chives, leeks. And I cannot imagine the other vegetables roasting instead of garlic when we roast pork. There are nothing to replace the garlic.

- Is it possible to show up with ex-girl/boy-friend in a TV show program? What do you think about those kinds of relationship programs?

I did not ever watch those programs. Transfer-Relationship, 환승연애, is one of the typical TV shows. But it could not attracted me. I have no interest of those program. One of the reason is, I might feel some uncomfortable. When they said goodbye, there must have been a reason and it might be unpleasant. It might make me uncomfortable.

- Do you think that the stock market is the gambling or the capitalism fruit or something else?

All of game has properties of gambling. The concern is that someone treats it as play or gamble. The stock market is similar to this, I think. Somebody invest his money to get some surpluses of the enterprise in a long term, it would be good to him and the company. But speculating his money to get big money. Then it will be turned to be a gamble.

A holiday? When I was teenager, I rambled to seek a funny events with my friends. I and my wife are not a Christian. So we usually stay at home and watching TV show and sometimes go to the movie theater. And coming home, we buy a cake. It is our special food for Christ-mas.
