Today was the final full day we would have in Korea, and the Han River Cruise was waiting for us. Beforehand, though we had some time in the morning to meet with our group and work on our final presentation. Even though this trip has been full of a lot of fun and cool experiences,…

Today was another day full of company visits. First up with Freddit Co. / HY. I had never heard about this company beforehand, so I went in practically blind to this one. Upon arriving, they had us change out of our normal shoes and put on some slippers, to keep the place clean. We then…

Today was a day of company visits, some I was quite excited for. First up was Hyundai, and this one I was rather intrigued by because I had always seen those commercials and videos inside of car factories where you can see the assembly line and it looks really cool to see the car being…

The first thing of the day was a hike up a mountain to see a palace. I was slightly confused, wondering what it would really be like because a hike could mean a lot of things. It could mean just a trail in a wooded area, or it could be actually having to climb big…

Finally arrived the day everyone was waiting for. Today was the earliest day so far besides the day we departed from Pittsburgh, but it wasn’t so bad because it has been very easy to go to bed early being exhausted by the end of every day. When we started to get close to the DMZ…

Today a very new experience waited for us. I had never visited a university in a different country, so I was interested to see what life was like here, any similarities and differences to Pitt. I had known beforehand that Yonsei was one of the top schools in the country, kind of like a Harvard…

Day 5 was quite an exciting day with everyone ready to go with the taekwondo lesson. I was curious to see what awaited us on the way there, expecting probably a lot of people trying to do some crazy punches or kicks, and others trying to spar each other. Upon arrival, we changed out of…

Today the company visit to Eaton awaited us. Eaton is a company I already know a good bit about due to its close relationship with Pitt engineering. Eaton sponsors one of the labs in Benedum hall, so occasionally when I pass by it I can see the big logo in the fishbowl room. For me…

Today we had a trip to Camp Humphreys. I was very interested to see this, knowing it was a US base. I was curious to see what it was like beforehand, if it would be full of a lot of Korean soldiers or only American soldiers, expecting to basically just see a big air strip…

This morning started with a nice breakfast at the hotel. It felt more like a lunch or a dinner, but was still amazing. One of my plates was some pieces of chicken with fried rice and curry, which was amazing. It was probably one of the most filling breakfasts I’ve had in my life. They…
