Jisu Tomorrow is Korean Liberation Day. It's a significant day in Korean history.
Sam Oh, yeah, that's what I hear. What are you commemorating?
Jisu It marks the end of Japanese colonial rule in 1945. It's called "Gwangbokjeol" in Korean, and it means "restoration of light."
Sam Wow, is that right?
Jisu Yes. We honor those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom.
Sam I see. As the saying goes, "Freedom isn't free."
Sam I wonder how Koreans reacted to the news.
Jisu My grandmother told me that people took to the streets cheering and waving our national flag.
Sam That sounds incredible! You know, I love learning about different cultures and their significant celebrations.
Jisu That's great. It helps us understand each other better.
Client Hi, I'd like to book a massage session for tomorrow afternoon, please.
Masseuse Of course. We offer Swedish, deep tissue, and hot stone massages.
Client I think we'll go with deep tissue.
Masseuse Great choice. We have two available times: 2:00 and 3:00.
Client 2:00 works for us.
Masseuse No problem. You're all set for 2:00 tomorrow.
Masseuse Welcome. If you can lie face down on the bed, that would be great.
Client Oh, man, I am sore all over from the marathon.
Masseuse Well, you've come to the right place. Now, take a deep breath and relax.
Client Okay. Oh, could you focus a bit on my shoulders? They're so stiff.
Masseuse Of course. Feel free to let me know if the pressure is too strong.
Client That feels great. It's been ages since my last massage.
Masseuse You have some knots on your shoulders. Are you under a lot of stress?
Client Oh, don't get me started. My boss has been pushing me really hard lately.
Masseuse So sorry to hear that. Getting a massage is a great way to relieve stress.
Client Tell me about it. I could get one of these every day...Ahhhhh...
