On the 10th day, we left Pohang and went to Hyundai. After eating a traditional Korean lunch and having a weird Korean following the group, we started our tour. I never realized how large a powerhouse Hyundai was. After the basic tour, we went to the factory where we saw actual cars being produced on…

Today, we finished off our POSTECH tour by doing an official campus tour with some current students. We were able to ask a lot of questions and contrast Korean education with American education. This tour ended with incredible campus food, and our guide even taught us how Koreans traditionally eat it. I had the Spicy…

As I said in my last blog, I was exhausted. So after exploring Pohang, I just didn’t have the energy to do a blog. But here we are now. Yesterday, we all went to POSTECH, a quite prestigious university in Pohang that focuses on research. Starting next fall, Pitt students will actually have the chance…

This day will be quite short as all we really did was travel. Once we left the Buddhist temple, we had extra time, so we went out for lunch. I had a very tasty Tofu Soup and tried Pepsi in Korea. To be honest, everything is just slightly more carbonated than in America. After this,…

Wow. Just wow. To say this was my favorite day is an understatement. To start everything off, we had to move from Seoul to Gyeongju. This required a bullet train ride, where I found a super cute shop where I claimed Wooga Choonga, or the plushie seen at the bottom (how am I getting this…

After procrastinating for an hour and not going to sleep early, I am finally starting this blog. Today was quite long, but definitely one of my favorites so far. To start, we took a bus to the DMZ. Once we arrived, I had Dunkin’ for lunch, which was a little different but as good as…

Today, I also did an Instagram Takeover, so most of you reading know what I am about to talk about. To start, we went to Suwon Fortress for an archery activity. This is where my title comes from, as this was very hard and ridiculous to aim properly. However, somehow the whole event was only…

I never knew I liked water so much. Yesterday, since once we got back I was too tired to write a blog, we first visited Seoul City Hall and then went to a water purification center. At the city hall, we met Mr. Kim, our tour guide, and went through the new and old halls….

Well, today started odd. After waking up at 4, we ate breakfast like usual, but then when we were called down, Dr. Yun was nowhere to be found. We eventually got a text saying we had to find him with the hints he gave us. Our group was smart and took a taxi to the…

Well, here we are! We arrived in Incheon at 4am but had to take a one-hour bus ride to the hotel. The drive was beautiful as the sun rose, and when we finally got to the hotel, we had a bit of free time before breakfast and sightseeing. Once noon hit, as I lay in…

Good morning, everyone! Peep me sleeping on my sweatshirt and jacket last night. Today I am writing my pre-departure blog for South Korea. We just got through TSA at Pittsburgh and are waiting for our flight to Atlanta. Then, we sadly have an 8-hour layover until we get on a 16-hour flight to Seoul. After…
