This is actually well overdue; as for I have been in the country for a month already. Fortunately, I created a pre-departure video beforehand. In my next blog, I will share more about my time here. All I can say for now, it has been a whirlwind of emotions and classes have brought many unfamiliar challenges.

I also filmed another video of my actual departure, and I still remember during that flight, how emotional I was when I started to see the islands of South Korea.
