It took me over 10 hours and almost 20 hours to get here from Seoul, which I used to leave. From Seoul to Prague, I took a plane, and to Berlin, I took a bus, which in some took over 20 hours. I came here to study at the university, which is why I came here on October, since it is before the start of the semester. about how I felt. I was both horrified and excited because it was a whole different city from where I used to live. And of course I’ve never been to Berlin or any other European countries before, which made me more scared. I was also happy because I could start my study and meet new friends too. So I enjoyed meeting all the new people and I like to stay at the city.
