During my last 2
Busan trips, I've come to conclusion that
there are not as many sights here than in vibrant Seoul or my trips were really short. So when I found out that the
K-CLIP 2014 program is going to be held at
Pusan National University, I said that maybe I could
appreciate Busan in a different light.
Learning the Korean language (Hangeul / Hangul) has been in
my list of things to do ever since I came here in 2009 because I've experienced how fun it is to travel around in China and other parts of Southeast Asia when I talk in Mandarin Chinese. There's no language barrier and you can
freely express yourself in general. And so, I can say that I came here
primarily to learn Hangeul in a
university setting. In the last few 3 days, I've successfully (and finally) taken the first steps to fulfill that goal. I feel so lucky that the program includes
much more than that and I will get
to learn more about Korean culture from experts, meet more friends from 12 other countries and travel to cities near Busan as a bonus. On top of these, I also feel younger and this is like a blast from my past haha - being abroad, living simply with a roomie and hanging out in each other's dorm rooms.
