Unit 4: Now, show us YOUR world!

I think of Halifax, Canada as my hometown. It's a quiet, clean city with low population, very little traffic, and low air pollution. I wasn't born there, but it's the place that feels most like 'home' to me. In Halifax, I lived in a traditional "row house" that was over 100 years old. My neighborhood in Halifax is called the "North End" because it's in the northern part of the city. My house was across from a large park. My neighborhood was also next to the ocean. Here's a picture, taken as a screen shot from Google Earth's "street view". My house is the blue one.



Here's where that house is on the map. You can see that my neighborhood is next to the Atlantic Ocean!



When I moved to Korea, my own idea of what was 'local' changed. I really enjoy living in Shinchang (really!). The transportation is quite convenient - so I can live in the countryside, but still get to Seoul quickly and cheaply. A lot of my neighbors are very friendly, too.

Surprise! It's a campus rainbow!
