This program’s main purposes are to raise students’ foreign language skills and to give them good chances to experience other foreign countries’ cultures. Moreover, it partially supports students financially. At that time, I wanted to have a special winter vacation different from vacations that I took before. Therefore, I applied to attend the SAP program. I applied to go to the Philippines. On January 10, 2009, I left from Incheon for the Phili

The digital odometer of my bicycle showed I had cycled 5610 km. This is the result of my six months’ traveling from July 2008 to January 2009. I looked back upon my travel in China before entering Vietnam and thought about the pathway I had run and what I had learned during the travel.When I climbed to the top of Mt.
