SISS was a wonderful opportunity and experience. I learned a great deal about Korea's unique and amazing culture. The pre-session language class was a wonderful introduction into the Korean language and writing system. The cultural outings and the tea ceremony were both fun and educational. My favorite class was the Experience Korean Cooking class. I love Korean food, and now know how to make some of it. The instructor, Myong Ah, was wonderful. I can't wait to return to Korea and to see everyone from SISS 2009 again.

One of the best things I remember is the the NANTA performance, Tea Ceremony and Farewell Party. I really like these kinds of performances because I can learn deeply about the Korean Culture. I loved my professor and my student buddy did a great job helping me during my stay at Sookmyung! I will not forget my wonderful memories at SISS!
