F1 Racing KOrea

This coming weekend is a big one for me.
2010 Korea Grand Prix Yeongam is going to be held and my entire family will be there.
Formula1 is the biggest racing event held by the FIA(Federation Internationale de l'Automobile).
Its season consists of 19 racings held in 19 countries.
This race is the first one that is going to be held in Korea. It's not a event show, but the actual F1 racing that is a part of the F1 2010 season.

Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, and even 'the Michael Schumacher' will be there.
If the logos below ring any bell to you, you could be able to feel the rush of adrenaline to your heart.

  • Apart from the small sized Korean racing that is usually held in the circuit in Everland, this is the biggest racing that I am going to be at.
    I like car and my cousins like car too. My relatives own many cars in many variety. One of my cousin used to run a tuning shop for cars.

    My father's family; grandma, two aunts, and two uncles(including my father) rented a mainstand booth and whoever's available in the day will be there. Me and my mom will be definitely be there. My sister can't, because she is in Germany, and my father couldn't decide yet because of busy job.

    I am excited to be at my entire family gathering. It's really nice to share excitement and fun together.
    I hope great racing will be shown without any accidents.
    Good luck and safe driving to all the participants!!

    My morning booster NU-Rung-Ji(누룽지!)

      A weekday morning usually isn't the very vigorous moment for grown-ups especially if they have to face the same routine as they had for years. Coffee is a favorite pick for those who can use some help to boost themselves up to the level they want. Coffee is fine for me too, but usually I would pick Nu-rung-Ji; Korean and absolutely traditional. Nu-rung-ji is the burnt part of rice that you can find at the bottom of the pot. It's really hard to find Nu-rung-ji at homes because electric cooker or steam cooker do not leave any burned over. Also, it's very tricky to make the right nu-rung-ji because only the right amount has to be burnt. Too much or too less do not make a good nu-rung-ji.



      Making nu-rung-ji is really easy, almost as easy as making coffee. You put in pieces of nu-rung-ji and pour enough amount of water and boil it until it's hot, soaky and soupy enough to eat. The packs of nu-rung-ji sold at Han-Sal-lim has four round pieces of nurungji a pack, and I usually cook two at a time. As nurungji boils good smell fill up the room, such that reminds of grandmother's warm meal.



      It's done! Water part of the cooked is called Sung-Nyung(숭늉). One of Korean's favorite dessert. As you have noticed nu-rung-ji is carbohydrate, basically rice. I think depending on person, carbohyrate that is well cooked so that it can be easily consumed might do more help than caffein. It quickly builds up appetite so that I would not skip breakfast. Sometimes it is strong enough to make me decide to go on a morning jogging! Ok, it is not sometimes, rather extremely rare...T.T....

      I am typing and eating nurungji, simultanuously. It's getting little messy, so i should stop here.^^;;
    I hope you all have pleasant mornings. Good luck!
