Today we had a lot of time off and I had a bit of a struggle trying to find ways to fill it. The majority of the morning was spent on homework or reading. We had planned on going to a traditional concert at 3:00 so at 1:30 Tanner and I left for the theatre. […]

Today was my last day in Korea and it ended on a good note. We started off with an interesting lecture and I especially like this one TED talks we saw. Afterward we had lunch with Kookmin students in the cafeteria.  A couple Korean students and I decided on playing basketball after lunch because it […]

Today was one of our busiest so far. We left the dorms at 7:30 in the morning so we could make the 9:00 train to Gwacheon. The first thing place we visited there was the national science museum. Unfortunately the science and technology section was closed, but we did get to have a short private […]

  Today was another full day of class, but it was also our last lab of the trip. After our morning lecture we worked on an interesting project where in groups of two we filled out powerpoint slides on a given topic. All of the given topics were on the history of science and technology […]

Today was a busy day. In the free time that we had in the morning I went to the Seoul Forest just to walk around and see what it was like. It was pretty nice but probably not worth the hour long trip it took to get there. Right form there I met everybody at […]

Today began with a class in the morning. We were lectured on the principles of ultrasound and how sound waves work. I enjoy how similar the content and lecture style is between America and Korea. It is a certain kind of reassurance that what you are learning is universal. Later on in the day we […]

Today was similar to yesterday, where almost the entire day was spent in the classroom. For lunch we went to a cool Korean barbecue place and had A LOT of meat, which tasted great. After that we started out next lab. Today it was an experiment on waves and we got to use a wave […]
