 ==== New Korean ==== ==== New Korean ====
  
-This week, our Lab ManagerDongbinvisited Leonard and me at KAISTDongbin introduced us to one of his underclassmenwho is currently working at Aerospace Engineering Lab at KAIST. He is currently working with the design of missilesDongbin and him shared many of their old story and memories with us +This week, I was busy with my project and did not have the opportunity to meet a new Korean outside of Hubo Lab. HoweverI was able to meet a Chinese student currently working in Korea. Her name is Ajiu, and she studied at Chungnam National UniversityI met her inside a cellphone service store where she works. She was extremely helpful with setting up the cellphone service for me. I learned from her that a lot of Chinese students study Chungnam Universitywhich is right next to KAIST, because there is a language school in the UniversityI have the opportunity to talk with her in Chinese, which was a nice change of pace.
  
 ==== Korean Cultural Insight ==== ==== Korean Cultural Insight ====
  
-This weekI learned more about the hierarchy in the Korean social system and the resulting difference between Korean and US customs surprised meAnyone visiting Korea should understand the importance of social hierarchyAge is one of the most important factor in determining this hierarchy. Basically, younger individuals should always show respect towards their seniorsThat is extremely important in workplace. If someone does not greet their seniors properly, it would earn him an unfavorable reputation in the workplaceFollowing this hierarchy, table manners and customs are also very important. Thankfully, foreigners are excluded from this hierarchy, nevertheless, it is still important to consider this hierarchy so as not to accidentally offend others.+The most popular sport in Korea is footballor soccer as we call them in U.S.. The second most popular sport is baseball. However, football is clearly the most popular sportsThe excitement surrounding football is especially high during our stay in Korea because it was during the 2018 World Cup held in RussiaMany KAIST students and Hubo Lab members know how to play football and pay close attention to the World Cup
  
 ==== What I Learned about Myself ==== ==== What I Learned about Myself ====
  
-I learned that one of the biggest obstacle for my research process is my own stubbornness and inability to ask for helpOne of the motto that I tried to guide myself is "work smarter not harder." HoweverI found myself often struggling with a problem and refuse to ask others for helpMy mindset becomes entrapped inside a loop that keeps repeating "can do it" to myself. More often than notI will later find out that the problem am struggling with have a known solution and there are others who could have helped me. I hope I can change this bad habit of mine.+This week, the Hubo Lab members invited me and Leo for a football game. The lab members rented a small football field for a hour and half and I was able to enjoy an exciting soccer gameThis is the first time that I played soccerRegardlessit was still an fun experience for me. I always considered myself an indoor typehowever, playing the soccer game showed me how exciting and fun sports can be. really love the cooperative aspect of football game, where the teammates have to work together, pass the ball each other, in order to score goalBy the end of game, even tried to take a couple of shot at the goal myself. I look forward to play more sports in the future.

 Another problem that I encountered during the project is the orientation of wrist. During the initial motion capture, I did not take the orientation of wrist into consideration. However, in order for the IK function to work properly, orientation of wrist is a crucial input parameter. In the end, I have to transformed the orientation captured during mocap into an orientation that can be used with IK function. Another problem that I encountered during the project is the orientation of wrist.
