SHOPPING IN SEOUL
Hello, my name is Rattikan and I'm 18 years old. I want to tell you about Myeong-dong Market in Seoul, South Korea. Myeong-dong is a popular place for people to shop in Seoul.
Many people shop there to get cheap products such as cosmetics, clothes, shoes and food. All the shops in the building accept credit cards, while the shops in the street use cash. Myeong-dong Market is open every day from 10 am till 4 pm.

Seoul sounds like a fun city, Rattikan. I hope to visit there one of these days, and when I do, I'll be sure to check out the bargains at Myeong-dong Market. — Editor
FURRY FRIENDS
My family loves pets. My house has many pets bought from Chatuchak Weekend Market because my brother loves to buy the pets and take care of them. My parents take care of them when my brother and I go to school.
My most beloved pet is a dog. She is an American Pitbull Terrier. Now she is pregnant. I'm excited because I want to play with her puppies.
I want everybody to take care of their pets and love them because they are our friends. They are friendly and make us smile all the time.
Nongnooch Sae-ung,
Bangkok
Having pets can certainly make life more enjoyable, Nongnooch. I wouldn't mind having a cat myself, but since I live in a tiny apartment it's not really possible at the moment. Just make sure you don't end up getting so many pets that you're not able to look after them properly. Dogs especially need plenty of attention and exercise for them to stay happy and healthy. — Editor
