Happy Christmas in Hull…

Hi! I am ISEUL, currently living in Hull, a city located in North Eastern UK. I am studying in Hull University as an exchange student. I bought a new camera when I came here and it’s Samsung ST500(TL220). The last camera I had for 2 years was also by Samsung and I was satisfied with it so I went with Samsung again this time. I like taking self portraits and the dual LDC function in ST500(TL220) was the crucial factor in making my decision to buy this camera.


CAM_1198


I took this first picture with my old camera. I always carry camera in my bag. Not only ST500(TL220) is small and lightweight, but the design is so pretty that I can’t wait to take it out to take pictures whenever, wherever. And to the young generations these days, digital camera is a must-have.

I went to the Hull city centre today. The building with the emerald-colored-roof in the picture is the Hull city centre. It is located in the heart of the city so if you ever visit Hull, you should visit the information center (for guides and tips) and start your travel.


SAM_3355Samsung ST500(TL220)  1/45s l 3.5f l ISO80 l 4.9mm Program AE


These are the buildings found in the city. One of the things that impressed me the most living here was the architecture. Each individual building has its unique charm and style that you never get bored looking at it. You can see the lighting decorations on the building for the upcoming Christmas. And there are Christmas markets opening in the front one by one.

One of the most popular sports in UK must be rugby. There is large screen installed in the middle of the city square and they play live sports games. It’s fun to look at people stopping on their way to watch the screen.


SAM_3359Samsung ST500(TL220)  1/30s l 3.5f l ISO200 l 4.9mm Program AE


The center of the city was lined with Christmas markets. They were selling all sorts of chocolates, candies and hamburgers. But perhaps due to the cold weather, people were just passing by and I felt a bit sorry for the merchants.  SAM_3369

One side of the street was rides for the children. The parents looking at their children enjoying the rides seemed a lot more excited than the children actually riding themselves.


SAM_3371Samsung ST500(TL220)  1/30s l 3.5f l ISO200 l 4.9mm Program AE


This is a picture of a Santa in a shoe repair shop. The children passing by were excited to see the cute Santa. Thus, Christmas has something special that makes people happy with the smallest things.


SAM_3384Samsung ST500(TL220)  1/30s l 3.5f l ISO200 l 4.9mm Program AE


The picture of the building floating on the river on the right is a shopping center. It was interesting for me to see the harmony between the new and old architecture in one space. I think this is one of the charms of UK.


SAM_3403Samsung ST500(TL220)  1/30s l 3.5f l ISO200 l 4.9mm Program AE


This is inside the shopping center. The lightings decorated for Christmas were absolutely amazing. It was the weekend and also was the start of the winter sale season so it was really crowded.

Samsung ST500(TL220)  1/8s l 3.5f l ISO200 l 4.9mm Program AE


The sun had set already when I came out of the building after shopping. It was only around 5 o’clock when I took this picture but it was no different than in the middle of the dark night! The lights started to light up after the sunset, and it made me feel like Christmas even more.


SAM_3410Samsung ST500(TL220)  1/8s l 3.5f l ISO480 l 4.9mm Program AE


It’s time to head back home. The colors of double-decker bus differ in each city, and the color of double-decker bus in Hull is brown. It’ll be quite interesting to look at the different colors of bus from different cities. With that thought, it’s a wrap for today.


Since this is the first post, I probably wasn’t perfect. I’ll try to be back with better pictures in the next post. I’m planning on going to York next week. I’ll introduce York to you, a city that has very different atmosphere from Hull. Stay tuned! Till then, bye-bye :)

Food in Colombia

Today, I want to share the attractions of Colombian food.


Desayuno : breakfast


Hot chocolate, scramble eggs and arepa or small breads are Colombian simple breakfast style. Arepa is the corn bread of the Latin Americans. It looks like white pancake and it filled with meat, cheese, or coconut. For me, arepa tastes nothing special but Latin American really loves to have it.

Holiday Shopping Gift Guide from myFOX 4 News : SMX-C14

talknews_1204_title
Many gadgets, magazines, or web for electronics added some of Samsung’s electronics to their suggested holiday gift list. ST550(TL225), LED television, Blu-ray, and now, SMX-C14 has been selected as good holiday gift from FOX 4 news.


Steve Noviello, reporter of FOX4 news, suggests 7 items for cool technology gifts includes SMX-C14. The unique technology of SMX-C14 is its lens sits at a 25 degree angle. People have to keep their wrist 90 degree to record with ordinary camcorders and that makes people tired easily. Samsung tried to solve that problem and now SMX-C14 is on market for customers! Beside the 25 degree angle, its size is compact and easy to hold design so it is good to carry around for a long time especially for women. Furthermore, C14 has 16GB built-in flash memory which gives people to record their precious memories as long as they want.


This is not the end of SMX-C14’s feature. Have you heard about the software program called ‘Intelli-studio’? It is the built-in program in Samsung’s camcorder and it helps to edit the video that you recorded. This software is easier to use compare to other editing software which means great software for beginners of editing. There is easy and fun manual to read about how to use ‘Intelli-studio’ on SamsungImaging’s blog. Check out this web, it will help you.


If you feel SMX-C14’s price is little expensive than you expected, then no worries. SMX-C10 is here for you! It is exactly same camcorder as SMX-C14 with cheaper price, except it does not have built-in memory.


It is not too late to record your precious moments of year end. If you want to record your memories with comfort for a long time easily, consider to get either SMX-C14 or C10.


We thank Fox 4 news and Steve Noviello to introduce our product, and we also thank to customers who loved Samsung’s camcorder.

We hope all of you have great year end!

Gold Museum in Colombia

The Gold Museum (Museo del Oro) displays unique selection of Colombian gold work collection. This is very popular with tourists and you can find the reason when you visit there. Also, it is one of the best museum I have visited.


Bogota’s Gold Museum exhibits the world’s biggest collection of 33,000 pieces pre-Hispanic gold and also the most important museum in Colombia because it is the symbol of El Dorado legend. The collection includes golden masks, bracelets, necklaces and breast plates created from 500 B.C. until the Spaniards arrived in the 16th century. Together with special potteries, a mummy and ancient shells. All artifacts are fabulous and exquisite.


Gold Museum is an absolute highlight and you can see how the ancient culture of Colombia was.

ST500(TL220) took 5th place from the 20 best products for 2009!

talknews_1203_title1
As the year 2009 is almost gone, many gadgets and magazines started to rank the best products of 2009, as well as ‘BusinessWeek’. ‘BusinessWeek’ web magazine choose the 20 best products for 2009 and Samsung ST500(TL220) took 5th place!


People around the world liked ST500(TL220) because of hits front 1.5” LCD screen, since it made easy to take self-portrait. As the rate of social networking sites’ users grows, many people started to take self-portrait to upload on their own site or blog. However, it was not easy to take self-portrait because they could not see themselves while they take their own photos. To clear that problem, ST500(TL220) has been invented!


BusinessWeek’ gave a compliment on that point too – easy to take self-portrait with front LCD screen. Furthermore, ST500(TL220) has animation feature displays on the front screen while take a picture and that helps children to focus on a camera. Not only the animation feature for baby, but it also has the countdown animation so people can notice when to smile and pose when they take a group shot. With wide-angle lens and recording HD movie features, ST500(TL220) gives more than just standard point-and-shoot cameras. ‘BusinessWeek’ gave reasons above why they picked ST500(TL220) as the 5th best product for 2009.


The other pleasant news is, ST500(TL220) is not the only product that Samsung got awarded in this competition. Samsung 8500 series LED television took 3rd place and BD-P4600 Blu-ray player took 10th place from this competition. It is such an honor to Samsung that ‘BusinessWeek’ picked three products of Samsung as the 20 best products.


If you want to read the full article and check out all of the 20 best products for 2009, please click here.


We thank all consumers who bought and loved Samsung products, and also thank to ‘BusinessWeek’ about this article.


We hope everyone can enjoy their holidays with Samsung products!

Do you still remember that…

Do you still remember that argument with your friends or family when you believed that Santa Claus was coming to you bringing a bunch of toys through your chimney and they told me it was not true? Yes, I do. I wanted to believe in Santa Claus because I didn’t want to lose my innocent mind. I was a child who was technically supposed to be innocent. Indeed, I believed what I wanted to believe.

One cold rainy day, I walk along the street near a major department store by chance and find that gorgeous Christmas displays grab my attention. I mumble to myself, ‘Wow, well done, they must be spending so much money on this decoration. Look at the moving dolls and LCD screens! Impressively detailed snow balls!’ I suddenly start critiquing the degree of completion and how the theme is organized with other components. I realize that I’m not seeing the Christmas embellishments with the same eyes that I used to. It does not give me the feeling of a mysterious wonderland like it did when I was young. It’s nothing I haven’t been told or seen before. I feel I lose my innocence as time goes by. Actually, I have had the feeling for a long time.

I want to purify myself by changing my perspective from the adult’s point of view to twinkling eyes of a child, full of curiosity about everything that makes me wonder. Is it a little bit cheesy for me to think that way? Is it too late? Or seriously, am I getting old?
