Mr You and Pun Seok were both very patient, kind and hospitable. I saw a few tourist sites, and did some exciting things like visiting the school , but to me learning about the culture was more exciting.
Some aspects of the culture and customs I found diificult like the spicey food, but everyone I met was always very kind even though they rarely spoke English. I would have been lost without Mr You and Pun Seok. I learnt so much about Korean culture; it's impossible for me to mention every single thing. But it's clear to me that the culture in Korea is often very different from the west, like the clear separation of roles for men and women. In other ways often it's very similar. I could never say one culture is better than the other they're just different; in 1000 years time they'll both have changed a lot.
