Would you still be surprised if I told you that we had more company visits before our experience here ended? Well, you shouldn’t be, because we had two more today as we begin to finish things up. Our visits today were to Fredit (hy), and the Samsung Innovation Museum (SiM). For those unfamiliar with them…

Korea: Cars, Elevators, and Italian Food?
“More company visits” is the motto of the day for the beginning of our final week (Yes, I know Sunday begins the week but I didn’t include that in the last blog so forgive me for putting it here). After a late night, I woke up sleepily to make the trip out to Asan where…
Korea: Hiking and Cooking
Our hike today was probably the best I will ever have. Yes, it was quite the dangerous trek, and a few of us were not as lucky in placing our steps, but overall I feel like it was a positive experience for everyone. It began with us making our way along the river on the…
Korea: The Awaited Visit to the DMZ
Let me get straight into it. Today, finally, was our trip to the DMZ. If there was one location I was looking forward to the most before leaving for Korea, this would be it. Being the history buff that I am, this location was a high interest to me as soon as the idea was…
Korea: Yonsei and Chicken
Today we finally got to visit one of the locations I’ve been looking forward to going to: Yonsei University. After six stops along the way, the subway finally arrived at our stop, and the campus was only a short walk away from there. We arrived quite early so we got some free time before starting…
Korea: Taekwondo, Burgers, and a Bridge in the Wrong Location!
Another day has gone by and it’s starting to really feel like a true cultural experience instead of a fun little trip. Today was lighter than the last few days as we didn’t have too much on our schedule. Still, we got to do a lot of fun stuff even if this was the case….
Korea: Visits, Octopus, Malls, and Learning to Love Baseball Again.
A sunny day has finally arrived and with it the threat of rain has gone away for the first time. Our trip for today started like most of our other days here as we hopped onto our usual bus. As for most of the trip, we have scheduled company visits, and today was our first…
Korea: Military Bases and Beautiful Skylines
A long drive down to Pyeongtaek defined our morning today as we made our way down to Camp Humphreys. I have never been to a military base before, much less even know what to expect there to be on it. Before heading to the base, I had only heard of the experiences my family has…
Korea: Lots of Walking and Good Food!
Today involved walking. A lot of walking. It wasn’t a waste though! Getting my 21,000 steps in meant that I got to see a lot of interesting cultural sites here in Korea. The day started off with getting to know how to use the subway system which we will be using a lot during our…
Korea: Glad to Be Here!
Can’t believe day one is already over! Yes, most of the day involved being in an airplane flying along the coast of North America and East Asia, but the rest of the day has been very interesting and fun. It was rainy and foggy when we landed so I couldn’t really see too much on…
Departing for Korea: Adventure, Discovery, and Excitement Await!
Sitting here in a dorm room I’ve never been in, counting down the hours before I leave for a country I’ve never been to is one surreal experience. I’ve traveled a lot in my life, whether it has been driving across country from my home state of Oregon out here to Pennsylvania to visit family…

While I am undecided at the moment, I plan on majoring in an area like Global Management or Marketing. Perhaps both? Unlike most students here, I am not…
