Well, this takes me back quite a long time ago. Quite a while back, I had a chance to visit Korea. I was on a business trip, and that was my first time going abroad. First of all, I must say, Korea is a beautiful country. But since I'm from Vietnam, the weather there is vastly different. In Korea, the moment I landed, I could feel that the weather was so much colder, and the air was so much fresher compared to Hanoi. It hit me like a drug, the fact that I could feel the clean air. It was not exactly something I was very comfortable with since I've been living in Vietnam for more than two decades, so it took me more than a day to fully adapt to the weather and the environment in Korea. That was only the moment I landed. After that, since I was on the tour, we had a chance to visit many places and see many landscapes. Among that, I had the chance to talk to a lot of people to understand how they communicate and to prepare myself for the trip I'm about to have next year when I'm going to study abroad. That was actually quite difficult for me, to talk to people there and to understand them.
