Korea : Students must pay for public bus. But there are benefits for some students or residents.

Taiwan(in Taichung) : In Taichung, Taiwan, students can ride city buses for free for the first 10 km if they register their transportation card under the local system.

Even though the weather was freezing, we still drank a cup of chocolate smoothie — it was super exciting! We also went bowling and tried a type of oden that’s totally different from the ones in Taiwan — it was so delicious!

I’m really happy that I got the chance to hang out, shop, and eat with all of you from Korea. It was such a fun experience and made me feel the joy of cultural exchange. Thank you all for the great time — I was really, really happy!
