Gift Card


It is a gift coupon some one gave me for my volunteer (Not actually) works.
It can be used as a money coupon for watching movie by itself or you can scratch and reveal code for internet shopping. You can exchange it to cyber money in www.cultureland.co.kr

Gift card is a kind of mysterious modern invention as much as Option trade. Apparently gift giver can get some benefit. He/she don't need to spend time for choosing a gift. It doesn't look dirty as much as cash. Most of all, you can get receipt. I don't know why but Finance guys like this idea.

Anyway, any benefit for a gift receiver? Yes, of course you can change it to money back! But it is not easy and cause cost. Though cost is small, it seems big.

In my case, I love iTune gift card. I can ask my friend to buy a $25 iTune music card and charge it on my iTune (US mode). I can reward with Dotori (Acorn; Cyworld.com's cyber money) or Korean money later. It makes it possible to buy any latest or old music/video content from US.
Theoretically, I may buy a song from other foreign iTunes (21 countries) such as Japan. It is really great for me.

If you are really smart enough, you may run an international service business from your country. For example, do translate service (English to your local language or vice versa) and get iTune music card code for honorarium. You can sell the code to any one who loves latest US music or video content. Your tax office will have no idea what is happening out there.

Bushman's Toilet

Image
It is a toilet gear for traveller at Zanzibar, Kenya, Africa. It was installed when a safari camp is settled down at wild desert. If Nature call you, bring this shovel and walk out for a while as much as you find a place for private business. (Middle of desert or bush) Shovel up sand and make a hole. Refresh yourself. Arrange the hole and shovel up sand over a hole. Back to camp and stick it at as it were Of course, you may use a bottle of water instead of a toliet roll. It may be really rare experience for people. Human needs a private closed place for long time to do that. I can guess your smart ancestor would also try to find a quiet place as possbile to avoid interuption by a wild beast. The behavior, finding a place to excrete may be origin of individual privacy. People have to choose a place between privacy concern and security concern. I hope to use that shovel. It looks fun anyway. Special thanks: I found this photo from Meilan's blog .

Mobile Flirting (Part2)

Image
One day I spend my time with my new MacBook at Starbucks. Actually there is another people who use Macbook at the Starbucks located in Jungja-dong, Bundang, Korea. I just tried to search Bluetooth device nearby and found a girl's name who is seating behind me probably. I could know her name and her digital address. If I want to send a note, it is possible. You know, you can't do that through your mobile network. It can make a connection with any one in the world but it is useless to send a message to a girl overthere. A young saudi man actually use this Bluetooth flirting method to be connected with a girl. In kingdom of Saudi Arabia, there is cultural barrier between boys and girls. Even a religious police can arrest a guy who violate the rule of local culture. (I hope it is a joke) But it is about a human nature. A young man is designed to fall in love with a glance from a girl. Isn't it romantic or pathetic? Of course, you can just walk to the girl and ask to go out toge
