2 weeks in Korea

Hi! My name is Ryuma Miyoshi and I am the last writer of this blog. I am now senior in Keio University and my majors are Corporate Law and Accounting, which are boring, but useful.

For the last 2 weeks, I was in Korea, participating in an international youth program called "BroSis Project." Many young people came to Seoul from all over the world, most from Korea, but some from China (including Taiwan), Japan, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Russia, Kazafstan, Uzbekistan, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonasia, Mexico and Brazil.

We studied and researched about "Sustainable Development" in this program as well. It was some coincidence.

I am very sorry that I don't have any pictures on this blog because I have just bought my digital camera yesterday! During the program, I was using disposable cameras as I didn't have much time and money to buy the digital one. I can show the photos I took later when we meet in the LF2007.

It was an awesome experience and I really want to tell you everything, but I can't explain all of it in this blog as it might be too long for you to read.

I will just write down one of the things that I thought were impressive. That was...

"Korean people are such hard workers and strong drinkers!"

Some Korean participants stayed up until 4 or 5 o'clock almost every night to finish the report or to chat with other participants. Also they spoke very good English, though they had very few experience staying abroad. Some even spoke good Chinese or Japanese as 2nd foreign language.

More over, though they drank a lot of Soju and Don-don-ju (Korean typical alcohol, am I right?), they recovered in the morning as if there was nothing special last night.

I heard that Chinese people use good English and never got drunk, too. Oh, I am now really scared... Oh, Budha or mammy or daddy or whoever, please help me!

I hope you enjoyed reading this blog. See you in 2 weeks! I can't wait to see you.

Good night and good sleep.

Ryuma
