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!!! =)

Post articles for GC Program, Kyung Hee 2011

Department of Psychology

              Joining this GC program has been an eye opener for me. I have meet many new friends from different countries like Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Germany, Japan, Indonesia and also not forgetting the Koreans. Most of us use English to communicate and it is obvious that people from different country have their own English accent. It is obvious that Malaysian language usually stands out because of our bad habits of saying the word ‘la’, ‘ar’ and ‘ma’ at almost every sentence we said. Many people find it interesting and even asked us what a ‘la’ is? I know that this might be a bad way to represent Malaysia but this is just what we are and it’s also part of the Malaysian culture.  Although there is a language barrier (between the foreigners and the Koreans), everybody try their very best to communicating by using body language and sign language. Even though the Koreans can’t really speak English and we Malaysian can’t really speak Korean we are still able to communicate well and have fun as well. After joining this program, I can say that I am proud to be a Malaysian because of our multicultural society that enables us to be able to converse in multiple languages like Malay, English and Chinese Dialects. People from different countries were surprised that we are able to speak so fluently in multiple languages. 

            GC program has also made me realize that the world is very big and that made me humble as Malaysia is such a small country and there are many things that can be future improve in terms of courtesy, safety, technology and convenience. Moreover, I found that many people do not really know about Malaysia and this GC program has enabled us as Malaysian to tell them more about Malaysia and the lifestyle here. Many of them also promise that they would come experience Malaysia after listening to what we have to say. One thing I that I am really impressed is the respect people in Korea give to the elders and also people who are slightly older than them. I believe that this is something that we should learn from the Koreans as now; many people already forgot what respect really is.

            In one of the special lecture on Communication across countries in the GC program, highlights the earthquake in Japan and there was a Japanese girl who was touched because many people are so concern about them and she was also sorry she could not be there for her country when it happen. Seeing her being hug and given encouragement made me realize that no matter what race you are, in heart we are all the same and stereotypes certainly does not exist. After staying here for a month in Korea, I have truly experience the life of a university student. Living in this wonderful campus has made me learn to be independent, juggling in between study, housework and not forgetting to have fun too. This program has also given me a chance to challenge myself in terms of studying communicating; independence and I see myself grow up a whole lot after this program. I Love this Program!
