Our travel agent just confirmed our trip to Thailand. That's great news! I've been trying to figure out what kind of clothes to bring.
I hear it's superhot especially this time of year. Absolutely, Since we're going to be swimming every day, we should bring several bathing suits.
I get excited just thinking about it. By the way, let's pack light so we can do a lot of shopping while we're there. Let's make a checklist of
what to bring to Sydney next month. Great idea. Hey, did you know that it gets pretty chilly there in July? Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you that
it's winter over there around this time. Ahh, then it's cool during the day, but it can get really nippy at night. Exactly, So, we should pack some
warm clothes - jacket, sweater, scarf, gloves, etc. Goodness! I'm going to pack a few extra layers just in case. Have you started packing for
our trip yet? Of course. I was just thinking about what medicine to bring. Do you have any suggestions? As a rule of thumb, we need to pack
a firstaid kit with basic stuff, like pain relievers, cough medicine, and bandages. Yeah, that would be good. And we definitely need to bring
our prescription meds, too. Can't forget those. We should bring enough for the entire trip. Hey, Minsu. I heard June 25th is a significant
day in Korea. Indeed, it is. It's the day when the Korean War broke out. What year was that, by the way? The war erupted back in 1950 on
June 25th. And the fighting ended in 1953 with an armistice agreement. Oh, so that is why the North and South still remain divided to this day.
That's correct. We commemorate this day to remember all the fallen soldiers. My grandfather suffered a lot after the Korean War.
He was separated from his family living in the North and never saw them again. I'm sorry to hear that. I can't imagine how difficult that
must've been for him. Yeah, it was. Many families were torn apart like his. Did he ever have a chance to visit North Korea? No, unfortunately
not. The division made it impossible for him to see his family again.

I heard it's Korean Memorial Day today, is that right? Yes, it's a national holiday that commemorates the soldiers who sacrificed for our country.
I see How do you usually honor this day. Some people visit war memorials to pay their respects to the fallen soldiers. What are great way
to show your gratitude. I think it's important to keep their memory alive.
