[SCHOOL TRIP] Economics project in Sapa...(Second day)

Second day has begun. Rain showered the ground during the midnight.
My friend seems like he's satisfied by the weather.
We started hiking towards the homestay village.
A glimpse of Sapa from the mountain.
Local people were cultivating marijuana for clothing.
Duck family!
Little enjoyment during the hiking..!



Meanwhile in trekking track...
After 5 hours of non-stop hiking, we rest for 30 minutes. (basically water break) And asked local people about the quality of their life.
Continuing the hiking
Local kids were selling locally-produced goods to hikers such as us. They were meant to study by the time we were in that town, but it was very sad to see them working for their family.

Economic growth in Sapa brought lots of money in Sapa, but that money was always returned to people from the city, not locals.




The river was used for many uses. I could see some kids were swimming in the river.

I hiked approximately 15km and spent 10 hours to finish the hiking.
It was the first to hike over 10 hours and 15km.

Heat exhaustion made my body tired, but the memory that I made during this journey was remarkable.

[NORMAL DAYS IN KOREA] Review on Jamsil baseball stadium

As an avid Lotte Giants fan, I could not miss an opportunity to watch a match held in Seoul. There was a match between Lotte Giants and Doosan Bears on 23rd June. I had no hesitance to buy a ticket for that. I went to the stadium with my friend, who is a fan of the Doosan Bears. The ticket costs approximately $10.5 per person (weekday fare/The second floor and Infield seats). It was a reasonable price. This is a waiting queue to enter the baseball stadium. I could see many Lotte fans visit here to root for Lotte as I do. Basically, Jamsil Baseball Stadium is a baseball stadium located between the business area and the residential area of Seoul. Thereby Jamsil Stadium always has relatively more fans than those of any other stadiums.  Food that I ate in the stadium. Well-grilled Korean BBQ was a nice choice for me during watching a game. This is one of the remarkable rooting chants(?) ever I experienced in my life. This is basically a chant that disturbs...

[URBAN PLANNING NEWS] New form of GIS, Alibaba's ET Brain (and my thoughts on it)

Two days left until the Winter Olympics finished in my home country! During my spare time, I read an article on the Olympics' official sponsors, and there was an interesting system that may greatly affect the usage of GIS in fields of urban planning and urban management. It was Alibaba's ET brain! <Image referenced from here > As Alibaba named it as a ' brain ', it literally works like a human brain . The human brain first gathers information received by sensory devices and delivers the gathers to the hippocampus.  It refers to the ET's <Data aggregation> . Secondly, the hippocampus will rehearse the received information in order to construct a stronger memory. Well just think of ' Stronger and more sophisticated hippocampus' for the step of 'Data convergence! Lastly, when the data are accumulated enough to calculate the fashion, like constructing a solid long-term memory , the 'Intelligent development...

[School activities] Finalizing gathering of items for the flea market&raffles

 Spring carnival will be held by tomorrow! Members of the flea market team have collected all boxes(items) from Kindergarten to Grade 12. And we priced on every single item. Even today, many students/teachers and staffs hand us their items. It was a calories-burning exercise for us to collect all of the items but it was fun! Some items were brand-new or seemed very fancy. So we gathered them into another group and put them into the main office. By 21st April 2017, we will sell items in the flea market and provide items for the raffle so I want as many people to come and join the event.
