Danny cast a question why grooms are thought to afford a house in Korea society and we expanded this talks to Korean wedding cultures. Grace was seeking advices what we had to do to make dreams come true and we shared a lot of ideas. Danny suggested to start small things and my idea was materializing the dream and acting on it. </span></span></font><font color="#444444"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Jin told us listing what we wanna do would be helpful.

The U.S court sided with a Muslim woman but we talkaholics had different ideas.ㅎㅎ Danny and Grace thought even though the company's action was despicable, there's no ligal problem and it was just their choice of workers. Plus, given that the position was sales staff, looking is something most entrepreneurs would consider when hiring, and looks included not only pysical appearance but also style, meaning that wearing headscarf could matter even though it could be morally criticized.</span></span></font><font color="#444444"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> But Jin and I argued that if the company failed to prove the practice of wearing headscarf affect adversely to its business, such an action should be banned because it was a discrimination against people based on their religion.</span></span></font></p><p class="바탕글"><font color="#444444"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> The turnout at the study was small but it was still very fruitful debate thanks to fabulous members and their passion!! </span></span></font></p><p class="바탕글"><font color="#444444"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> We four tried a new restaurant which turned out quite sucessful especially with nice dumplings and continued to chat ceaselessly, hence English talkaholics~~ㅎㅎ</span></span></font></p><p class="바탕글"><font color="#444444"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> Thank you for coming against the odds and hopefully see you all again in good shape next Saturday!! </span></span></font> </p><p class="바탕글"><font color="#444444"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></span></font></p></font></font></span></span></font><p class="바탕글"> </p></font><p class="바탕글"> </p><p class="바탕글"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><img class="txc-emo" src="http://i1.daumcdn.net/deco/contents/emoticon/things_12.gif?rv=1.0.1" border="0"> I</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">tinerary (Every Saturday morning 11:00~14:00) </span></strong></span></span></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><font color="#005766">1.
