Q. What are some pros and cons of online shopping?

First of all, online shopping is very convenient. No need to go grocery shopping at the mall and carry heavy stuff. No need to struggle to bring heavy shopping stuff to my place. Only with several clicks, everything will be in front of my place. Second, it is cheap. Of course, sometimes you get it cheaper at the mall, but online shopping is usually cheaper. And the last thing is you have a lot of options than off-line. Countless stuff is on the internet. You can search for it until you are satisfied. On the other hand, online shopping gives me some hassles. Such as I'm given only some information through several pictures and descriptions. I need to be patient to get something I want. If it is an emergency, online shopping isn't available. That's why I prefer offline shopping to online. From offline, I can see and check the actual item. And I can also figure out whether I need them or not. by me. And more often than not, they give me a discount. Like buy one, get one free. 

Q. Which one do you prefer? Buying one expensive item that lasts longer, or buying different kinds of cheap items that last only a while?

Depends on the items. If I buy some bags, shoes, and clothes, I take expensive items that last longer. Because I'm with them all the time. But, Small things like toothpaste, soaps, and so on are the best of the cheapest. I like to experience much different stuff. 

Q. Where do you spend most of your money?

I spend most of my money on my son. I have a son doing after-school activities. Most income is spent on his tuition fee. In Korea, private education costs account for a large portion of the consumption of almost all households. 

Q. Let's suppose a boy asks you to go to the movies with him. Do you think he likes you?

From my experience, I'm sure he likes me. As long as he has a job related to the cinema, he likes you. Because men never spend money and time with women who he doesn't like. 

Q. Do you watch a movie with popcorn in the theater?

Yes, I always watch a movie with popcorn and coke. I complete eating popcorn before the movie starts. It's because of the sound of chewing popcorn. And I make sure to go to the restroom to pee in advance. I'm not a person who bothers others watching a movie. Sometimes, I see some people not care about others. I don't want to be rude like them. My favorite flavor of popcorn is original but my son likes the caramel taste. I'm sure the original popcorn goes better with Coke. I wish the combo came out. 

Q. Do you prefer to work with a team or alone?

To be honest, I prefer working alone. It sounds individual. I'm a pretty much-organized person. I often work with several co-workers together at my office. After the collaboration, I fix it and wrap it up as my style again. I know how bad it looks. I hate my character but I can't help it.
