There are many goals I have while studying abroad in Korea. Essentially, my goal for any place I travel is to walk away with an understanding of their culture, history and especially their current affairs in terms of business, politics, and social aspects. Most importantly, by observing and experiencing daily life in another culture, I will be able to view how their society operates. Relationships with friends, family and colleagues, as well as customs, mannerisms, likes and dislikes are all aspects of Korean life that I will study. Understanding people, how our world works, why we live the way we do are all important for me to help find my own journey.
Specifically, I plan to go snowboarding in Korea - just to say I have (I didn't know it snowed there). As a visitor, I would also love to become comfortable with the place by adjusting my style of dress, my behavior and personality to parallel a local citizen. By assimilating into their culture, I do not plan to ignore and deny myself (personality, style, attitude, etc), but just explore the differences and similarities.
