The Korean War 1950 - 1953

I am going to write about the Korean war which took place in 1950 to 1953. Before the world war 2 the Japanese military forces ruled the country. When Japan lost world war 2 they had to give up Korea to the US and the Soviet union. Korea was split into two peaces; south and north. The US took care of South-Korea and the Soviet union took care of North-Korea. They made a plan of four years of running the country , but after those four years the US and the Soviet union had to withdraw their forces.

They did and there were two leaders left, both with intentions to unite Korea. The leader in south was Syngman Rhee and he was elected with a lot of help from the US and UN. The leader in north was Kim Il-sung, he was assumed to loose the election because South-Korea was bigger and had about twice the numbers of inhabitants as the north. In the end of 1949 and the start of 1950 there were a lot of different political demonstrations in South-Korea because the people did not want a leader elected by the Americans. Rhee's military responded with use of force and weapons.

North-Korea did not accept this and their military forces were bigger and better during the start of 1950. They attacked South-Korea 25 June 1950. 135 000 people died that day and there were no other military forces from other countries to help them. The US sent military forces after some days and the fights kept on to 1953 when the truce were made 27. July. There are still bitterness between the south and the north, but a lot of people have family on the other sides.

During the war 2 or 3 millions died.

Rebecca Loos - from David Beckham to Rykkinn!!

A friend told me an interesting story that I would like to share with you.

Rebecca Loos was suspected to have an affaire with David Beckham and she was also a glamour model. But there's nothing glamorous with her new apartment on Rykkinn in Norway. She now lives with a Norwegian man and their son in a very small apartment, in the Ghetto!!

This is the hood.

To our Korean friends

I am going to tell you something about the Norwegian weather. We have four seasons in Norway; autumn, winter, spring and summer.

In the autumn it is cold and usually it rains a lot. But this autumn it has been pretty good and sunny, but freezing cold though. When I woke up today it was about one or two degrees outside and the sun was shining. The leafs falls of the trees and everything is orange.

The winter is even colder and there is a lot of snow. I like the winter because you can go snowboarding and play in the snow, but when the snow's not that good and it is slushy, it is very enjoying.

The spring is very nice, the snow melts and the nature blooms. The birds comes home from their trip south, and everybody is kind of frisky, and happy because they know summer is coming up and the school year is about to end.

The summer is my favorite, the sun shines and you hang out with your friends and doing what you like best. My favorite activities in the summer are being on the beach, driving my boat, waterskiing and sunbathing. It's not as hot as in Korea of course, but compared to the winter it is very good. The photo below is from the beach I spend most time in the summer.

I'm looking forward to hear from you.
