Month three in Seoul!

By Jess A.

This month, I did so much both in Korea and out! For one, I went on a three-day trip to Hong Kong with some other foreign exchange friends that I met, and had an amazing time. We saw so many cool things, and ate soooo much. I really liked the dim sum and sago! Afterward, I went on several different trips to places around Korea, such as Gangneung, Busan and even Jeju Island! I made such amazing memories and I never thought that I would travel so much in my life. Like for example, in all of the places I went to in Korea, you can see the beach, and it is absolutely stunning. Living in Missouri for nearly a decade, I can’t remember the last time I saw the beach, and seeing it in Korea is a sight I’ll never forget. And going to Jeju was probably my favorite place of all. The nature on Jeju Island is absolutely incredible, and the oranges, which Jeju Island is famous for, were especially delicious. And perhaps my favorite part of the whole experience was going to Snoopy Garden, which was a Peanuts themed park! I have genuinely never been so glad to study abroad in South Korea.
