< Story about Korea & KOICA >

We hope you had an interesting, unique and impressive experience adjusting to Korean life and participating in the program.

You were probably excited about coming to a new country, meeting new people and starting your program. However, if this was your first time in Korea, you might have experienced some culture shock while you stayed in Korea. Perhaps you found that many social customs, culture, religion, ways of doing things, and the way things work were different from what you were used to at home.

["Culture shock" describes the emotional upheaval many people experience when they move to a country with a different culture from what they are used to.]

During your stay in Korea you might have noticed many differences, which may have caused you inconvenience or perhaps were just interesting to you. For example; people may dress and think differently, and the behavior of men and women towards each other may be different.

In this regard, we would love to hear your story. Please share your memories, experiences and feelings with us. Any stories would be welc ome. Your story helps us better understand what is interesting, unique and impressive about Korea &

KOICA's training program to you. We will help our society have a better understanding of people from other countries through the publication of your story.
