Time flew by so fast. I felt I came to South Korea recently. One month is too short for study abroad.
this time is the second time to come to Korea for me, but I felt that it is very different to come to Korea for just traveling and living in, even though it was only about one month.
I experienced a lot of things that I had not experienced in Japan and the United States in Korea.
Japan and Korea are close and they are categorized into Asian countries. However, they have different cultures and national characters. For example, in Korea, when all people bump into other people, they do not say sorry or excuse me. In Japan, I think in the States also, we have to say I'm sorry when we bump into others. When I first experienced that, I was shocked. Some Koreans bumped into me hardly without saying sorry at stations.
However, I have got used to it already. I understood it as that this is one of the Korean cultures.
Everything I had experienced in Korea was good experiences and memories for me.
I am going back to Japan tomorrow, but I am sure that I will miss Korea and my Korean friends. Therefore, I would like to come back to Korea someday in my life to meet them.
