Post Article from Kyung Hee University

Vivian Pang Tyng Tyng from Department of Psychology

I am so grateful to have the opportunity to participate in this Global Collaborative Summer Program. It has been an eye-opener for me. When I look through all the photos I have taken along this trip, I miss everything in Korea. Time flies really fast. I felt sad when it was time for me to leave Korea. I really want to go back there again someday.

Through this program, I have had the opportunity to interact with people over the world, such as US, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Arab Saudi, and etc, and of course Korea. I could not imagine how amazing it is when I able to communicate with people from different cultures, people who speak different languages. Instead of speaking the official common language English, body language has become a very useful and powerful communication tool. As some people (most Koreans) who can speak limited English, my friends and I tried our best to communicate with them nonverbally. And don‟t doubt it, we actually did understand each other!!! It‟s awesome and amazing!!!

Besides, I am so happy that I finally had the opportunity to experience how campus life is. Kyung Hee University provides a very nice studying atmosphere. The staffs and lecturers, even the RAs and TAs are so friendly and helpful. Moreover, I have visited many famous and historical places, such as De-militarized Zone (DMZ), Hanok Village, Banpo Hangang Bridge, N Seoul Tower, and etc. I would not forget the beautiful sceneries and stories behind the every place I have been to. I also tasted different Korean food and beverages. Although it has great difference from Malaysian food, I love it and my most favourite food is Nengmyong.

Academically, I took 2 subjects which are Korean language and Globalization and Contemporary Culture (GCC). I have gained a lot of insights and knowledge throughout this program. I have learned how to write, read, and speak basic Korean language. Knowing how to write my own name in Korean, how to bargain with the shopkeeper, how to introduce myself, and some other basic useful conversations, make me feel proud as a foreigner. For GCC, I have learned and understood how the principles of Mc-Donaldization and Globalization have affected our world even our lives. In addition, during the Hanok Village trip, I also have learned how to make the local fan and Korea famous dish, mixed meal which called “bibimbap”. It is a wonderful and memorable experience.

I have fallen in love with almost everything in Korea: their metro system, infrastructure and technology, product designs and fashions, dietary and health awareness, and etc. And of course, the people I have met in Korea (mostly Koreans), they are very kind and polite. I have made many friends from different nations, have experienced the lifestyle in different country, and also have learned many valuable lessons which I could not get from the textbook. There is no single word can fully describe how I have felt. But I would like to say that, this is the BEST and most fruitful JULY I have ever had!!! =)
