Jeju Island: 'Seminar Workshop'

New7Wonders of Nature
June 24 - 26, 2012.

HOW DID IT COME ABOUT

Back around March, we started planning for their last 3months in Korea and this includes the question to the international office if there is a free trip to Jeju Island, one of the New7Wonders of Nature (the 2011 batch of scholars had a trip there for a seminar). Because if not, we will plan for our own trip there while we are still in Korea. After 2months, the IO announced that we will have a 'seminar workshop' in Jeju for 3days and 2nights. 'Seminar Workshop' because out of the 3days, only 3hours, yes, you read it right, 3hours for the workshop and the rest are all tours. LOL.

FROM DAEJEON

We left Daejeon university at 5:45am. During that night, we didn't sleepy anymore because we watched the Euro cup 2012 quarterfinal match between the eventual champion Spain and France. And by the way, our Russian friend brought authentic Vodka to drink. The game finished at 5:32am just in time for our departure to Cheongju airport. We boarded Eastar Jet flight -- that departed 7:55am.

World EXPO 2012: Yeosu, South Korea

"The Living Ocean and Coast"

June 6, 2012.

As the days are counting before we leave the country, the ASEAN and Zimbabwean students in Daejeon University had a field trip in World EXPO 2012 in Yeosu, South Korea. We went there to witness the ASEAN Culture & Tourism Fair 2012 sponsored by the ASEAN-Korea Centre at the same time see with our very own eyes the 2012 Yeosu Expo.

To start off our trip, we need to travel around 3hrs by to reach to the Expo and so we left Daejeon University 7:00am sharp. This is one of the field trips that no one was late even just for a minute! It seems that everyone is very excited! Who's not? It's one of the biggest festivals in Korea these days. Everyone charged and prepared themselves for this very long day. It's just a day trip so we are scheduled to arrive home around 10:00pm.

By the time we reached Yeosu, we all have full of energy and immediately posed for a group photo even just after we alight the bus. Like this:

Another one!
