(Interviewee: Hyeseon Hong / KAC IB student) One of my summer vacation plans is to go to Okinawa, Japan. Originally, I was interested in Japan and Japanese, and I went to Japan earlier this year.

When I went on a trip to Osaka in the past, I stayed at a friend’s house and became
(Interviewee: Senba Natsuki / Exchange Student) I think I am going to travel. I want to go to various regions in Korea such as Seoul or Daegu.

(Interviewee: Lee Na Young/Department of Tourism Management/Korean Student) I think that the best way to make friends in the new semester is to use snacks. In Korea, there is a culture of sharing snacks with other people, so I think sharing and eating candies with others and being friends at the first time.
