Music around the world



During the day off I spent the rest of the day listening to music: rock, pop, hip hop, r&b and heavy metal. It turned out that most of the songs were from other countries.
One of the songs I listened to were by a Korean group called 2ne1, kara, teen top, and snsd. They are very popular in Korea. One of my favorite songs from them is 'Fire' by 2ne1, 'Supa luv' by teen top and 'Gee' by snsd. I listened to hip hop and r&b music from Nigerian groups. My favorite groups from Nigeria is P-square and Bracket. The most greatest songs they have sung is 'No time', and 'Do me'. P square sings messages and tells stories that goes on in real life for example thier song 'No Easy'. No easy talks about how people have no money and are suffering and that they just have to keep going.
Nigerian music and Korean music are just like american only that sometimes they have a message and meaning.

A bomb in Moscow!


There was a suicide bombing in Moscow, Russia on Monday, January 24, 2011 that just happened to take place in one of Russia's most busiest airport stations. The devastion killed up to 35 people and injured 180. No one claimed responsibilty for the attack but some islamist seperatists from Chechnya have taken credit for some of Moscows previous attacks. 20 people are under critical condition.
This has been the most deadly attack in Russia since last march two female suicide bombers from Russia's Muslim majority region set off explosives on a subway system killing 40 people. It was Moscow's worst attack for 6 years.
This is a very sad happening, not only for Russia but around the world. I am very sad and also very shocked. I never really given much thought how this may affect people and to the families of those who have died. It also brought me to realize that Russia has had a lot of devestation for years; not only just the US. It opened my eyes to know the world and for me to know what's really going on outside our community.
This reminds me of 9/11 but in another background. This is a big tragedie adn i think the only way to stop is to find the terrorist that have doen is and get them to be punished for killing so many people. I pray for all the people who have died and for thier families.

Easiest language to learn: HANGUL!!!

Hangul may as well be called the easiest language to ever be studied. It is a korean language and is fairly easy. I've studied it and writing in hangul is basically a walk back to first grade. It's that easy. I went to a website called: www. learnlangs/RWP/korean.com.
Just an hour of the website and you would already be knowing your alphabets and phrases. :)
