23. I can do it by myself.

Sangcheol's Diary Podcast_상철의 일기

Today is June 21, 2016. Tuesday. I dropped into Yeongpoong bookstore on the way home from the office to buy a book. Yeongpoong bookstore is quite a big one located near my company. In these days, I have been thinking of keeping a diary in Chinese language. After I came back from China last year, I did not have a chance to speak Chinese, nor did I practice writing Chinese. In order not to lose Chinese proficiency, I needed to find a way and do something. So I stopped by bookstore and looked around bookshelves but could not find a book I wanted. What I wanted was a book how to keep a diary in Chinese language. The books I found at the bookstore were very basic level ones for children. There were no books for me to refer to. I felt weird that there was no single book for me inside such a big bookstore. However, getting out of the bookstore's door, I thought that this might be a good sign for me. If there is no such a book to teach me how to do, I will try and learn how to do it by myself and do it. Hands empty, but learned a valuable thing.
