SSM

We can hear the news about SSM easily. Big supermarkets and small supermarkets have a lot of disputes. To small businesses it is a matter of life and death. Like this, The Huge supermarkets have a matter of expanding itself. Actually, we can’t not easily find grocery store these days. They definitely have affected by big markets. Because People also have many choices where to buy products, customers do not go to small supermarkets. I agree with that it needs to take sanctions against SSM a little. However, grocery stores should try hard to survive from tough competition.

To enhance competitiveness of small supermarkets, government has to watch illegal situations of SSM or big companies. Also, Customers visit to small supermarkets sometimes and it will help them. Not only small supermarkets but also traditional markets have in difficulties for competition. When I need to buy some products, I usually went to supermarkets. I remember there were 3 supermarkets near my home before SSM is appeared. After many people went to SSM, only 1 supermarket is alive now. It’s a story for 10 years. I feel it is really hard competition.

SSM and grocery store or supermarkets, they each have their own opinions. I think it is right opinions because of surviving from competition or expanding their markets. To protect grocery stores, it is necessary to taking punish against SSM a little but small stores have to try harder than now.

Design Seoul

Design Seoul
We have discussed about Design Seoul last Friday. I actually didn’t know well what is Desgin Seoul? I only have heard about this policy and I just have seen that when I walking through the road in Seoul. The differences exist about Desgin Seoul. Some people go along with a this policy and the other people entirely doesn’t agree with this plan. We can walk the clean street in Seoul and we can see new buildings. It makes a good impression for citizens and foreigners. However, it needs big budget. Seoul City spent so much money about this project already.
I heard that Design Seoul’s main strategy is caring for citizens. Wow. It sounds really nice. I think it’s important for us as a citizen. I really hope that It helps our life. A few people have a good memory on Han-river renaissance. Seoul city made many parks in waterside and a lot of people goes to park everyday. There is a conflict of opinion on Dongdaemun Design Plaza. It was designed by foreign architect designer. It’s under construction now. It will be famous building when DDP completes. However, where is old building now?
There is a bitter dispute on Design Seoul projects. I think it needs a tough choice. I Approve of  this policy but it needs to correct mistakes in this project. I hope that new mayor has a good way to make a beautiful city in the world.
