World¡¯s Most Expensive Fish! (½Ì°¡Æ÷¸£)

Some animals are so precious that they are priceless. For example, if you wanted to buy a panda bear, it would be very expensive. Anyways, what kind of fish do you think is the most expensive? No, I am not talking about sushi sold in Japanese restaurants. Hmm... I guess most people would think the answer would be giant whales.
Well, it¡¯s true that whales are very expensive. And a whale found caught in the net in Korea was sold for 40 million won! But the real answer is something else.
The most expensive fish in the world is called the White-gold Arowana. Take a look at the photo. The skin of this fish shines bright just like white-gold! Recently, the world¡¯s largest aquarium in Singapore held an aquatic life exhibition. And someone offered to buy this beautiful fish for 80,000 U.S. dollars. That is about 80 million won!


This Can¡¯t Be Jail! (Çѱ¹)

What kind of images come into your mind when you hear the word £¢jail£¢ Scary images of old buildings and angry prisoners come to my mind. I am sure we all had chances to see how jails look like through movies or dramas on TV. Well, those images are true and jail is definitely not a pretty place. Surprisingly, however, jails in Korea are changing! Take a look at the photos. Believe it or not, these pretty pictures are on the walls of some jails in Korea. Police officers say such pictures can calm down angry inmates and make them more peaceful. Police officers also believe that this new idea can help bad people change into good citizens. I personally think this is a wonderful idea. Now jails look much prettier and at the same time prisoners can turn into good people. Hopefully the new idea will reduce the crime rate in Korea.


There¡¯s Nothing Better than a Nap! (¹Ì±¹)

Since you are kids, you don¡¯t really know how difficult it is to work in an office. But I am sure that you know your parents work very hard. Just like you, they also want to take a nap sometimes during the day. Sadly, there¡¯s nowhere to take a nap in Korean offices. Well, American adults have been suffering from the same problem.
Recently, a furniture company in the U.S. created a sleeping capsule. Look at the photos! This sleeping capsule looks nice and goes well with other office furniture. The cool thing is that this capsule was specially designed to provide comfort and relaxation!
What¡¯s the price of this cool furniture? It¡¯s 8,000 U.S. dollars! I know it¡¯s a lot. But I wish Korean offices could have something like this. Hard-working parents really deserve a nap, don¡¯t you think so?
