Activities in Seoul Your Soul Wants, That Your Sole Wouldn’t
The large city of Seoul boasts countless memorable activities, but I will talk about the ones I’ve experienced and would recommend to anyone visiting! However, before I begin, I want to introduce SNU Buddy. SNU Buddy is a program that matches 2-3 exchange students to Korean students in the Buddy Program. The organization has around ...
Taste of Home Near SNU (Seoul National University)
When studying abroad, especially in Korea, finding good food is not hard at all! Specifically, around Seoul National University campus and SNU Station, there are hundreds, if not thousands of businesses, half of which are restaurants. The challenge arises though when you begin to feel a bit homesick and crave food from home. As a ...
Study Spots Near SNU
Arriving in Korea was 50% of my study abroad… the abroad part. As for the other 50%, that’s where the struggle begins. Though there are so many things to do in Korea aside from studying, not every moment can be spent having great food, seeing beautiful sights, and trying new things. Studying in Korea in ...
Lost in a World of Convenience
For anyone who has played Poptropica, or any game ever, there is always an aspect of “unlocking something new.” Embarking on a mission across the world, 14 hours ahead of the Eastern Standard Time, is the closest you can get to unlocking that map in real life. To unlock anything in games, you tend to ...
Photo Event
The SNU buddy program hosted a Group Photo Event as their last event. This event was fairly simple but it was one of my favorites. This was the first time we met in a group larger than four, as two buddy groups of four met at once, which was really a lot of fun. We ...
Bangladesh and South Korea
Some of my favorite childhood memories from when I was in Bangladesh was all the time that it rained. This season in Korea is similar to the season in Bangladesh, the only difference being that in Bangladesh it never gets as cold. I feel like in the U.S there isn’t really a rainy season, but ...
Uniform Rental
After coming to Korea I’ve had a few unique and different experiences, but my Lotte world trip was probably one of the most interesting ones so far. So apparently it’s a tradition to rent a full school uniform and wear it to Lotte world. I have no idea why but I am going to take ...
Lotte World
I think that me and my group of friends we are all just a trouble magnet. For some reason no matter how much we plan we somehow always manage to mess something up. We have been planning a trip to Lotte world for almost two weeks and everything was perfect, the weather was great (it ...
Managing Homesickness
I never really thought I would experience homesickness before, but have come to realize that I did undergo a fair amount of missing home while abroad. I would spend some days in my room, mindlessly watching Tik Toks, reading fanfiction or watching a Chinese drama that I was a bit obsessed with. I honestly didn’t ...
Food Festival
So one of the most creative events held by the SNU buddy program so far was definitely the Food Festival. For every event, students are paired with one Korean buddy and three foreign exchange students. For this event we were required to meet at least once before the actual event, and hopefully at least 3-4 ...
