    Back in 2006, we cannot afford a cable television yet that's why we adjust the antenna to be able to watch clearly. My favorite tv series was Korean dramas.

    Radios with Cassette and CD players are popular for entertainment back then. It is the number-one way of people discovering new music and news.

Until now, my mother still uses our radio every morning.

    When I was in grade school, my favorite toy to bring with me every day is my mobile toy radio. iPod shuffle was popular back then but it was too pricy so my parents bought me a radio toy instead. The toy radio worked with button cell batteries. I only used it outside our house because it needed a strong signal to get rid of the radio static.
