Yeongdong Dried Persimmons Festival

Hi^^
oops, i know it's late to talk about Yeongdong Dried Persimmons Festival. but better late than never. because this festival is held from December 16 to December 18, i think it's still okay i post about it this day. hehehe :)
before it, this is fruit we call as persimmon.
honestly, i don't we have this fruit. :) poor me! so here i got some info from my best source Wikipedia.
A persimmon is the edible fruit of a number of species of trees in the genus Diospyros in the ebony wood family (Ebenaceae). The word Diospyros means "the fire of Zeus" in ancient Greek.As a tree, it is a perennial plant. The word persimmon is derived from putchamin, pasiminan, or pessamin, from Powhatan, an Algonquian language of the eastern United States, meaning "a dry fruit".Persimmons are generally light yellow-orange to dark red-orange in color, and depending on the species, vary in size from 1.5 to 9 cm (0.5 to 4 in) in diameter, and may be spherical, acorn-, or pumpkin-shaped.The calyx often remains attached to the fruit after harvesting, but becomes easier to remove as it ripens. They are high in glucose, with a balanced protein profile, and possess varihttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifous medicinal and chemical uses.

Like the tomato, it is not considered a "common berry", but is in fact a "true berry" by definition.

Trying Minimalist Life

This is not the first time actually. I watched some decluttering and minimalism videos on youtube. I am doing decluttering for a couple years. Still doing it. Reduce all the stuffs I have. I even threw away a lot of momentos. Took photo of them before throw away of course. But still, I did it. Not a easy peasy task. They told me. Tons of articles and blogs mention how to be minimalist. More videos and tips. I am trying myself. Well, I sell some of my books. I will send some to my friends. I gave piles of clothes to my family. Maybe I will make neat post about my journey of minimalist. Well, my kind of minimalist. Because its hard for me. As I have tendency to be a hoarder. Digital stuffs? Ah, don't ask me yet. My phones and laptop still hold giga bites data of stuff I even don't remember. Just already delete a bit of it.
