I was thrilled to be chosen as one of the 30 Indonesian
students to participate in a three-week study program in Seoul, South Korea.
The selection process was rigorous, and I had to sit for an oral test, which
tested our general knowledge. Thanks to the guidance of my teachers, I was
well-prepared for the test.
The study program was organized and sponsored by the South Korean Ministry
of Education, which was an honor for me. During my stay in Seoul, I had the
opportunity to stay with a South Korean family, who were warm, hospitable,
and generous. They treated me like a member of their family, and I enjoyed
learning about their culture and way of life.
The school I attended was in the heart of Seoul, and it was a splendid
learning experience for me. I was able to pick up basic Korean language
skills, which allowed me to converse with the students and teachers without
much difficulty. The students were hardworking, diligent, and well-mannered.
They were always eager to help me with my studies, and I was impressed by
their academic abilities, creativity, and critical thinking skills.
One of the things that impressed me about Seoul was the advanced
infrastructure and efficient public transportation. The subway system was
fast, clean, and easy to use, which made it convenient for me to travel
around the city. I also found the South Korean culture of respect and
hospitality to be admirable. They showed me kindness and generosity, and I
felt welcomed in their country.
The food in South Korea was a unique experience, and I enjoyed trying
different dishes. The Korean barbecue and kimchi were my favorites, and I
also enjoyed the street food and traditional Korean sweets. I found the
South Korean cuisine to be flavorful and healthy, and it gave me a better
understanding of their culture and way of life.
During my three-week stay in Seoul, I had many memorable experiences, such
as visiting historical sites, attending cultural events, and exploring the
city with my new friends. These experiences broadened my horizons and
enriched my life, and I will always cherish them.
In conclusion, my study program in Seoul was an unforgettable experience
that allowed me to learn about a new culture, make new friends, and improve
my academic skills. I hope that more Indonesian students will have the
opportunity to experience the unique culture and academic environment of
South Korea. |
