I was given the opportunity to do a Korean exchange program with my younger sister, Alexandra, for 4 months from End of August to Mid of December at Kookmin University, Seoul. Kookmin University is the first private university after the liberation of the Republic of Korea from Japan and it is one of the prestigious universities in Korea. The campus is located in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, South Korea. The KMU was established in 1946.

August moments
My flight was from 4.00 in the morning at KLIA2. It was a 6 hours flight and it was super tiring. I used AirAsia X to save my cost as I know that I will spend more in my future stays in Seoul. Every months, I will share the highlights of the months.
β©30,000($25) per person
Since I arrived in Seoul around end of August before the semester start, I had to settle a lot documents. Therefore, I havenβt really did much or went to places yet.

Hi laulau! Sorry for the late reply. My best experience were obviously the food .The worst experience was sometimes the road near city hall or Gwanghwamun plaza will suddenly closed and there will be no buses going to those routes. Since korea is a democratic country, from time to time there will be protestations etc going on. Therefore it made me several time that, I need to change routes
