Sasha & Vera

Time goes fast and we didn't notice how fast gone school year.

We had plans attend China (as usual) and Taiwan in this summer, but in May 2012 we were known that we will go to Korea and we decided postpone our trip to Taiwan.

Korea is expensive Asian country and we didn’t know which outlay we would be expected.

July 2011 was contrray with July 2012.

Last year's July was the most hardest for us, but in 2012 it was the happiest month. We attend China. It was half of our summer vacation.

We spent great time filled by travelling around Harbin and of course we did a lot of shopping.

In the end of the July we back to Russia and through 1 week we went to Korea, Seoul city for study.

We were going there on a ferry. WESTERN DREAM. DBS CRUISE FERRY.

But it hard to name ferry, it’s a three-storied cruise liner with different classes.

It was very interesting trip and we were able to see different views and landscapes of Korea and Russia.

When we attend Korea, first of all we were wondered to see all Korean stuff and very kind people who could speak fluently in English.

We had some rest days and then our study was started.

We attend some historical and cultural places also we had rest in Lotte World park, one of the big amusement park in Seoul.

We were studying in Hanyang Women’s University.

This University has huge campus with very beautiful modern building s and landscapes.

We got 4 hours of Korean lesson per day and had one rest day in a week, it was Sunday.

We had culture classes too.

Also we met a lot of foreign students at the university and made friendship with them.

There are a lot of foreign students in Hanyang University.

We met students from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Laos, Austria, France, and Kazakhstan.

Study was hard and we got very intensive program.

Every day we got 8-10 pages of homework and study really hard.

It was great experience and we realized how hard to be Korean student.

Koreans like that people who like study hard.

We already get used for such schedule in Russia, so we accepted such program not so easy but very fast.

After one week of study we had thirst for extra lessons and desired more days of our Korean’s lessons.

So sad, that we got so few days to stay in Korea.

We got a lot of knowledge for these 3 weeks and also refresh our grammar and speaking skills on Korean.

We got a chance to work in Korea and use our skills and use that language for study of which we have devoted 10 years of our life.

God will bless us, I’m sure and our efforts will be rewarded.

Sincerely yours, Sasha
