South Korea

I was in communication with friends of mine from MIIS that were in South Korea. I flew to Korea and checked into the WOW guesthouse. Korea was much different than Japan for me. Many of the people in Korea were tall, and many spoke English and were not embarrassed to speak with me in English as I found many Japanese to be. I was able to eat Jeon, a vegetable pancake- like street food. I was accompanied by by friends Effie and Kevin. Effie’s father was Greek, and her mother was Japanese. She spoke English, Greek, and Japanese as well as some French. Together we went to the Korean Folk Village, where we learned about traditional Korean culture. We would also go to Lotte World theme park where we would see a concert by a boy band named G.O.D. They were extremely popular with Korean youth. Not
