I am writing a compare and contrast essay over both, and I'd like your opinions because I have never been to New York and grew up in LA so I am partial to it. My categories are: Style (fashion); People; Style of Living; Transporation; Types of Food; and Weather. So I need specifics for those. If any of my general topics can be improved, I'd like to hear those opinions as well.

Thanks :)



Answer
LOS ANGELES

Style- more laid back, wear whites, colors, sandals, jeans, a more "hair let down" style.

People- Everyone is on the phone, I think both cities. there isn't a major difference in people except in New York, there are many more men in business suits and women dressed professionally. I noticed there are a lot more Australians, Japanese, and British people visiting LA than in New York

Transportation- CARS,CARS, AND OH LOOK, A BUS.

Types of food- LA has a wide variety of foods, just like New York, but there is more Mexican, Korean, Japanese food in LA.

Weather- Does the weather in LA change?

NEW YORK

Style- Black is the color of choice for all, if not for most people who are fashionable. It's the fashion capitol of the western hemisphere! Even though New York is more formal than Los Angeles, New York definitely does "casual" in a very trendy way. As it is said, New York is where fashion starts and than it moves outward.

People- New York is very multicultural. The person right next to you is going to be very different. New York isn't as much of a playground as Los Angeles is. There is a somewhat seriousness that New Yorkers possess that no other people have, it's truly bizarre if you ask me. There are many more European and Canadian tourists in New York than there are in LA that I've noticed over the years.

Transportation-most people who commute into the city either ride the bus or the train. Cost of parking you're car in the city can run up to $40.00 an hour. Redic but true.

Types of food- ITALIAN, Chinese, French, and steakhouses are among the most popular. You know, the food of any region really shows the people who are living there, *wink*

Weather- Cold from december to march, starts to get warm in march until mid april. After Mid-april comes the serious HEAT AND HUMIDITY HITS YOU LIKE A WALL!!! Thunderstorms until June than just heat and humidity up until Late october when the crisp fall weather comes.

hope this helps :)

What are the trends for Korean girls?




Jinah Yoon


If you know a lot, please list many of them!!
Just in general, trends that are going around for teenagers in Korea. Whatever it may be (ex; app, makeup trend, hair trend, game, slang, etc) please list as many as posible?? Hehe thank you!!



Answer
Hey! Since you answered my question so nicely, I thought I'd return the favor~
I'm also a fan of Korean style, so maybe I can be of help~

First thing I would recommend is checking out a style of clothing called Ulzzang. That's the style of clothing I like to wear, and it's really really popular among young Korean girls. Usually light/chiffon dresses/skirts paired with cardigans (fitted or really big and loose) and ballet flats or high heels. They also pair jeans with big baggy sweaters quite a bit. Anything with chiffon or lace or sheer fabric is very popular over there.

For makeup, the style that is in fashion for young girls is to look 'cute' and 'innocent' - Light skin is also very popular over there so if you have light skin you'll fit in a lot better. If not, maybe just try out a BB cream which is lighter than your natural tone. Big eyes are very popular, and most Korean girls use circle lenses. The most popular circle lense brand is GEO. Basically they're like normal contact lenses, except a lot bigger. They make you look like a cartoon character. 'Gradient lips' is very popular too. It's where you put a dab of color (lipstick, lipgloss or the currently very popular lip tint) to the center of your lips only. It gives a more natural look. The condition of your skin is important over there, so having clear and 'pure' looking skin is good. I would recommend BB cream by Etude House and concealer by Misha. Cherry Pink lip tint by Tony Moly is something I swear by and so is Etude House Tear White Eyeliner. Korean girls will wear thin black eyeliner on their top eyelid and extend the line out and slightly downward. You can watch tutorials for this on youtube. Straight, thick eyebrows are popular currently aswell -- you can achieve this kind of look with eyebrow pencil or matte brown eyeshadow.

Hair style is pretty easy. Anything with bangs is pretty much favored. Any colour is fine. Soft, loose curls are very popular. Hair accessories such as bows or headbands are worn a lot by Korean girls~

Slang... well, ones that I use a lot are:
Aigoo! - Means "Oh Dear!" or "Oh my God!"
Omo - Oh my gosh
Wae-yo? - Why?
Mwoya? - What?
Molla! - I don't know!
Jjang!! - The best!
Hwaiting! - Fighting (used as encouragment, like "Go!" or "Persevere!")
Calling older boys Oppa, and older girls Unnie

Gwiyomi is also pretty trendy right now. It's a song by a girl called Hari and lots of Korean people think it's really cute. There's a dance that goes along with it, you would be able to find it on YouTube.

Basically, if you want to try and re-create a modern Korean-style life, just remember CUTE. Being cute and aodrable and innocent and childlike is VERY popular in Korea, Japan, even China etc. When you get a bit older, in your 20's, it's more popular to be kind of classy and sexy.

I would recommend checking out an online store called 'G-market' because they sell a lot of really popular but reasonably priced Korean clothes!

Good luck and I hope you find what you're looking for! Hwaiting!
