Assignment 1 : Self Introduction

*****My name is Jiseon Kim and I joined Asiana Airlines 14 years ago after spending 2 years as an unemployed graduate. I graduated from Chunnam University with a degree in English Literature. I am now an interline e-ticket project manager in the Passenger IT team. I joined Asiana Airlines because I love travelling. I planned my first trip abroad when I was a university student and I finally flew to London in February 1994. I backpacked across Europe and I came back to Korea in August because I ran out of money. I visited lots of European cities and I stayed as long as I wanted if I liked the place. Travelling to other countries and meeting other cultures opened my eyes and changed the way I see things. I still remember Monet's words regarding his viewpoint for things. He said, "In order to see, we should forget the name of the thing we are looking at." I always keep it in mind when I think of travelling. My dream is to take a round-the-world trip. I believe that every great adventure begins with a dream. It has been said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with only one step. I hope blogging will help me to bring my old dream to mind.

  1. Hello Jiseon.

    Congratulations on your first blog assignment!

    I hope you had a nice trip to Montreal. I know the weather is getting warmer but I'm certain it was colder there than here. I'm not sure if you heard but a famous actress died in a skiing accident there on Tuesday. It is shocking how fast life can be taken away from us.

    Anyhow, welcome back! We're excited to hear about your trip so post some pictures. ^^

  4. Kimberley, here is quite warmer than I expected. Last year I was shocked due to the heavy snow in March, but this year there is no snow during my stay.

    I have never heard about the actress you mentioned, but I understand your feeling because recently we also lost several actors and actresses as well.


    Jessica, yes I love reading books. If you feel your life is boring, I recomment you to read some adventure novels. :)

    Jimi, why not? We can share all information we have at any time.

  8. Kyung-woo - Your blog is pretty impressive too. I think everyone's blogs are unique. They really reflect your character and also your knowledge of html and computers. (haha)

    Jiseon - Do you ever read English books? I have some great authors if you're interested.

    Hi Kyung Woo,
    Yes, I agreed with Kimberley's comment. Your blog is quite impressive and nice as well. :)
    The photo in header is the old bookstore in Paris named [Shakespeare and Company]. It is so lovely place and there is the book regarding this old and attractive place. I will show you later.
