Day 1

1. My greatest take away is that we are actually not that different in terms of our games and schools. We both have similar games and play style such as the five stone.
Both of our classes are also given based on our grades.

2. I was in charge of facilitating my art programme. I helped iron the five stone’s cloths and learned to be careful with the iron(??)

3. I hope I will be able to talk to my buddy and other students. I was quite shy talking to them. I was thankful that one of them actually continued interacting and talking to us. If she didn’t it will be very awkward and we will just be seeing each other staring.

4. I enjoy receiving snacks and letter from the friends in Korea. Not having the opportunity to visit Korea really made me a little down but I still wanted to participate as I will still be able to interact with people virtually. The snacks were a bonus point as I really like snacks from Korea. They just remind me of the last time I visited. The last bonus point for today was when we were all doing art & craft activities from both sides together. I was kind of proud to be able to do both activities well and could help other students too. Hehe.

# data[].attributes.body
day 1
1. my greatest takeaway is that i learnt so much about korean history and what koreans like to do and where they like to go
2. the preparation process was really fun but tiring as we need to have rime management to complete our tasks
3. i hope to engage more with my buddy and make my presentation more fun
4. i really enjoyed the art and crafts session of making the five stones and ddakji

# data[].attributes.body
honestly today was a blast:) learning about the difference between diverse cultures of both countries with our friends from hillgrove and samgaksan truly benefited me in some way. an increase in my knowledge as well as understanding the samgaksan’s students daily way of life and their history as well as their modern day era.Hope to have more fun and learn more knowledge tomorrow 😁 also make more friends from korea.

# data[].attributes.body
My greatest takeaway is meeting with people from Korea and learning more about their culture.

I hope that I will be able to talk more to the other Korean students

The most exciting part of today was when I got to try out the food from Korea because I have never been to Korea before (good food)

# data[].attributes.body
1. my biggest takeaway was definitely about Korea’s rich history and i also gained insight on modern Korea. honestly, i have learnt so much! such as places popular among the Korean younger generation, like Lotte World which is an amusement park. i felt that everything shared today was very interesting and memorable.

2. the preparation process was definitely not an easy one, but with the guidance of my teacher, Ms Ynez, i would say that my group did fairly well considering how little time we had. we faced some difficulties like clashing schedules so it was hard finding time to film. overall, it was a fun learning experience and i learnt how to manage my time better as well as how to edit a video!

3. i hope that in the future, if i were to get more opportunities like this, i hope that i will be able to make things more engaging for my audience and manage my time better.

4. the most enjoyable moment today was the zoom break out sessions where i got to communicate and talk to my buddy, Ga On! although it was slightly chaotic with all the background noises, i had fun learning more about my buddy and the other students in the group :D

# data[].attributes.body
1: my greatest takeaway was when each school presented on the various topics like current Singapore and Korea. The videos and the presentations were very interesting and i have learned much from our friends from Korea.

2: I had no activities to prepare for today but i did do up the school facilities video. It was really tiring to stare at the screen and add the subtitles and edit the videos. But it was definitely worth it as the students on the other end definitely learned more about our school.

3: I hope that I can try to be more engaging with the students as I was a little shy.

4: The most enjoyable moment of today was definitely the arts and craft. Not only was learning how to make our own country’s traditional game fun, but learning to make the ddakji was very exciting and it was fun and funny to watch my friends try to flip each others ddakji.

# data[].attributes.body
1) My biggest take away from the first day is that Korea share some similarities with Singapore as we have similar traditional games like five stones and Gonggi and had quarrels with neighbouring countries over territories for example the dispute between Malaysia and Singapore over Pedra Banca.

3) I really hope to communicate more with my buddy so that i could know more about her and know her personality, therefore forging stronger bonds with them. One of the ways i could communicate better with them is maybe i could start the conversations first so that we won’t end up in a paradox where both parties aren’t able to know each other due to shyness.

4) My most enjoyable moment is either the part where we were able to play ddakji or the moment we started finally talking to our korean buddies. As a person who likes to be competitive, i was extremely excited for ddakji as i could challenge my fellow classmates of a game of ddakji and even if they don’t a ddakji of their own i could make one for them on the spot due to learning how to make them from our korean buddies! As for talking to our korean buddies, it was enjoyable as not all of them were very shy and quite because once one person starts the conversation it will go on and on and on, we just needed to avoid yes/no type of questions and just make them feel as if they are talking to a friend rather than a foreigner

# data[].attributes.body
my greatest takeaway is learning more about Korean culture. for example, the island, dDokdo, which was returned to Korea after world war 2 and it is located at the east of Korea. I hope that next time, we get to be more open and more comfortable with each other. my most enjoyable moment was seeing how koreans go through their school life. it was really interesting and a bit different from how we go through school in hillgrove. overall, it was a really great day!

# data[].attributes.body
1. my greatest takeaway was that i get to learn so much facts about the korean history and games. i realised that there was not much of a difference between both our school hours and co-curricular activity.
2. the preparations was not easy as we need to have time managment in order to complete the tasks and there was not much time to spare.
3. i hope to be able to interact more with the samgaksan students and to be more attentive while doing the activities.
4. most enjoyable moment was the snack break and when we finally got to meet our buddies! also the making of ddakji as it was chaotic and some of us messed up the order.

# data[].attributes.body
My greatest takeaway was how much I learnt about Korean culture and how different we are. However I feel like we have many similarities too. I learnt alot of new things to broaden my view on this world about another culture alot today!

I did the ethnic costumes video with Meryle and Maya. I think we did a really good job in showing our culture within these traditional costumes.

I hope we can interact with the Korean students more and as we didn't really interact with them that much today during day 1 as I think we were shy.

The most enjoyable moments are watching the videos they Korean students made for us as they are very fun and entertaining. Also I also enjoyed making the Ddakji as this was my first time making it.

# data[].attributes.body
1. My greatest takeaway is that the korean culture is very interesting due to the rich history and amazing traditional costumes. I do not have any korean friends, so these facts and visuals being introduced is very nice.

2. There was a video that i had to film with my group mates. We had to travel to places to film and even narrate on the video. It was a fun and new experience.

3. I hope to interact more and get to know my buddies as the ice was not broken fully.

4. The most enjoyable moment was the breakout rooms as it was when we could see our korean buddies for the first time and to actually talk to them.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I'v  learn about the differences between ourselves, I found out more about the background and history of korea and got to have a realistic look into a day in their lives.
3. I hope to have a greater chance to get to know my buddy as we were in different breakout rooms.
4. I really enjoyed the crafting session as it was more hands on.The presentations were also really insightful and educative which I enjoyed ! :)

# data[].attributes.body
1. My biggest take away from today was the difference between the Korean and Singaporean culture. Firstly, Korean students are allowed to choose between pants or skirt whereas in Singapore girls are only allowed skirts. Next, Korea students have different yet unique subjects compared to us Singaporeans. 2 special subjects that they study are Housekeeping and Technology.
2.During the preparation of our video that there are alot of behind the scenes to make such a short 10minute video captivating yet insightful. My group had spent many days (and possibly sleepless nights) to produce our final product. We had to script write, memorise, film, act and etc which underwent alot of time and effort. However after viewing the video, I felt a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment instilled in me as all the hard work from my team and myself had paid off. <3
3.What I wished I could have done better was to better interact with the Korean students there as there was this thick wall between us. I hope that on Day 2, the wall would have been broken down and we could all better interact with one another
4.The most enjoyable moment for me was viewing the various videos done by the Samgaksan students as the videography and content done by them were well done and interesting

# data[].attributes.body
Day 1
1. I find that one of my biggest take will be how their school life schedule will be like when they vlog their morning routine and preparation for school.
2.it is really tiring and a tedious process to film places in Singapore especially when we have to travel everywhere. However,I would say that is a memorable trip when me and my group are able to revisit so many beautiful places in Singapore!
3. I hope there will be more time to interact with our buddies and also hopefully we are able to be in the destinated breakout room so that we can bond together. Even though me and my buddy never get a chance to interact with each other on zoom, I was still able to engage in conversation with the people in zoom.
4. I would say the part when we receive the snacks. I was so looking forward to try it. It was delicious and I'm very thankful for that.  In addition, the making of ddakji is also memorable especially when we are able to play it with our friends. It is truly an enjoyable session.

# data[].attributes.body
1. My biggest takeaway is that even though we have many differences like our daily lives and the way we speak, we still have many similarities like how they have a traditional game which is like 5 stones

2. The preparation process was quite challenging as we kept going past the deadline that we set for ourselves and we knew we would have trouble remembering our lines as there are many scenes. However, instead of worrying, we just looked for a different way to make it work

3. Something I could do better is communicating with them as I did not know what to talk about and they weren’t talking that much either

4. My most memorable experience is still the breakout rooms. We couldn’t have long conversations, but we still were able to make conversation with them. And when the breakout rooms were quickly over, it made me realise that I like getting to know them even though I didn’t know all of the people in my group

# data[].attributes.body
1. Personally the greatest takeaway for today is being able to make friends with the Samgaksan students. Through interacting with the students from Korea I learnt many things about both their school and daily life . Such as their clubs where they are able to create their own unique clubs, and their lesson subjects like housekeeping where they learn about life skills, for example planning meals.
2. (My activity was not today)
3. Next time i hope to be able to communicate better with them as in the beginning of the breakout sessions I was pretty quiet which led to me not getting to know my buddy well, but i am glad to say that after texting my buddy after the session I learnt a thing or two about him.
4. The most enjoyable part for me today was the Korean arts and craft segment where we learnt how to make our own Ddakji, and where we also found out we had similar traditional games.

# data[].attributes.body
1) My biggest takewaway is most probably the Korea’s messy and rich history. One of the stories was about dokdo island. Dokdo island in Korean is called solidarity island, it was stolen by the Japanese but they have no records claiming it. After World War II it was given to Korea back because it has been a part of Korean territory historically.

2) the preparation process at the start was very messy because so many things were going on like the noise, people accidentally interupting and me forgetting my lines. But with the help of Mr Leong i was able to remember

3)My biggest challenge was the ipad and me and buddy being separated because of my technical issues. I can resolve this is by figuring out what is wrong with my ipad

4) The greatest takeaway was the zoom break, because i got to interact with people who came from a different backgrounds and culture so far away from Singapore.

# data[].attributes.body
my greatest takeaway was learning more about Koreas history like the Dokdo island, and  how it’s history is adapted into modern Korean dramas, to keep its history alive for younger generations to appreciate.

it was my first time filming for a school project and the experience was really eye opening and interesting to see parts of singapore that i had never explored in depth even though i live here.

i hope to be more vocal in the future and take the initiative to start meaningful conversations, and find common ground with our korean friends :)

the most enjoyable moment for me was during the hands in activities where we got to make the “five stones” and the “ddakji” even though it was abit hectic and chaotic, i think the hands on crafts really added on to the experience and helped me experience the immersion programme on a deeper level.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I think it’s that other countries and cultures are so different and interesting that it is worth learning about. It is almost like we are living in different worlds. Everything from the school down to the environment is almost completely different.

2. It was a bit stressful because of the amount of work and the timing of the preparation, but I think it was a good experience

3. I hope that I am able to strike up a good convo and prepare more interesting videos/activities.

4. I think it was watching what Samgaksan Middle School prepared for us. It was interesting and fun.

# data[].attributes.body
1. my greatest takeaway was the differences between singapore and koreas history and culture. i learnt more about how rich and interesting korean culture and tradition is.

2.my group had to make a video on singapore’s culture and history. we went out together and filmed a video in chinatown where it was very crowded so we had to be patient when filming. overall it took us 2+ hours and i did learn a few new stuff about singapore

3.i hope to have more confidence in the future

4.my most enjoyable moment was when all our groups were presenting and we got to learn more about korea

# data[].attributes.body
1. My greatest takeaway was meeting the friendly students and the teachers allowing us to receive our snacks and gifts as I can learn more about their daily lives.

2. Unfortunately I was not able to come for any preparations but I was happy that i got to wear Mr Siva's outfit!!!!!!

3. I really hope to break the ice with my buddy as it is still cold

4. I really enjoyed showcasing our art and craft five stones with them and found out that both of our countries play the same game

# data[].attributes.body
1) My greatest takeaway was when i saw them speaking English. They really impressed me with they fluent English and accent especially the female teacher!
2) My group was in charge of the making of the 5 stones. The preparation process was kinda tedious as we had to cut out the small pieces of cloth for one individual 5 stones. However, with the support and help from my teammates, we preserved and it was actually really fun and i didn’t feel that it was tiring at all! I learnt that teamwork is important if we want to get things done.
3) I hope to be able to communicate with my buddy as well as the other Korean students in my breakout session.
4) The most enjoyable moment as of today was when we received the gifts and snacks from the Teachers and the Korean students. It was nice knowing they put in as much effort as we did.

# data[].attributes.body
1)my biggest takeaway was learning about the rich culture and history of korea. There were a lot of similarities and differences between the games that they played and the games that we played, for example, goppongi
3)i hope  to be able to get to know my buddy better tomorrow as in the zoom breakout rooms a  number of buddies were in the wrong breakout room
4)Eating snacks and getting to talk with my buddy:D Although some of us were in the wrong breakout room, it was really fun to be able to talk with her and the other students

# data[].attributes.body
What was my greatest takeaway?

I learn about many different korean cultures and I learn many things about korean history and the hwarang members, it was really cool to see them don on the hanbok because i dont have any korean friends.

In the activities you were in charge of - what was the preparation progress like and what did you learn?

The activities i am in charge of are on Day 2

What do you hope to do better next time?

I hope to interact more with them and talk more instead of texting in the chat so we can get to know each other better.

What was your most enjoyable moment for today?

I has a lot of fun when we managed to talk and share about each other favourite food and snack. We managed to watch them to do vlogs and it was really fun to see their daily routine. I loved interacting with them and i love  kdrama alot and so interacting with korean, its a new experience for me.

# data[].attributes.body
1. My greatest takeaway was that I can talk with Hillgrove friends. We were a bit shy, but we talked about each other a lot. For example, we talked about our favorite foods.
And also I learned about ethnic culture, and I learned about

2. (My activity was not today)

3. Next time I hope we can have more opportunities to talk to each other. We were shy. But, I was happy that I chatted with Zievyer after doing the internationalization programme.

4. The most enjoyable part of the session was making the 5 stones which is a traditional Singapore game. It was very simmilar with Gongi in Korea, but the size of the stones were different.

# data[].attributes.body

i hope to be able to talk and bond with my partner more as the days progress

the most enjoyable moment was reacueving the snack pack as i was able to get a letter from my buddy

# data[].attributes.body
1) I learnt that my Korean buddy is actually 14! That means she isn’t the same age as me woah! I also learnt that she really loves dolls especially cute plushies and she can play the clarinet. This is an important learning point for me as i get to learn how to communicate and diverse myself with people of different countries which prepares me for future opportunities. Thank you hip Korea for this opportunity!!
2) (my group was yesterday)
3) I encountered wifi problems as well as problems communicating with my buddy. This was because our surroundings were pretty loud at times, hence we couldn’t communicate properly and sometimes we couldn’t even hear each other. Luckily, we solved the problem and resorted to texting online to get to know each other. :D
4) My greatest takeaway from the Korea hip programme has to be the creation of my Korean name. I find it really cool that I now have a Korean name, though I’m not Korean! I can share with people about my Korean name and impress them with my newfound knowledge of Korea that i learnt from this program.

# data[].attributes.body

2. nil
3. i had abit of trouble making the balloon car :') but in the end i could poke the stick into the bottle cap. my buddy and i also couldnt really hear each other due to the noise

# data[].attributes.body
1. I learnt more about them and what they like to do, like favourite movies and hobbies. It is actually quite different compared to my interests, so it interesting to learn more about themselves and understand why they like their hobby.

2. (my activity was not today)

3. At first in the breakout rooms, it was pretty challenging to break the ice and get comfortable, but after awhile of chatting, we started laughing and enjoying the interactions more.

4. From this program, i learnt how to apply social skills even through zoom and online platforms so as to make things more fun, which can be useful in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt that my buddy is into programing and making websites and I think that is very cool!

My activity wasn't today but I think everyone who were in charge today did great!

Me and my buddy had connection issues during the breakout sessions but we fixed it pretty quick

My greatest takeaway is learning about the Korean culture. This is sure to be an Inspiration to me in many ways in future

# data[].attributes.body
1)i learnt that my buddy also likes watching anime, they have a little brother, their favourite colour is blue, they were in dance before quitting and their favourite subject is pe and math. I got to learn more about my buddy slayyyy

2)The preparation process was fun as i got to go out with my group to go eat food, i also had to present in front of everyone. I learnt about Singapore night markers and the food they sell yuhhh

4)My greatest takeaway from the programme is learning about the korean culture and traditions as well as learning how to not be awkward with my buddy.I also learnt how to say some korean ayyyy

# data[].attributes.body
1. something new i’ve learnt about my international friends is that we both really want to learn each other’s languages so that we can communicate and get closer to each other. we both really want to become good friends and meet in the future and i think its really amazing how we are already planning on meeting even though we have barely known each other for a day. we both have an interest in each other’s countries so i think that it would be very enjoyable to visit each other.

2.nil

3. today we encountered a few challenges when it came to communicating with each other as neither of us are fluent in the other’s native language. but we managed to work through this by simplifying our words and using a translator.

4. my greatest takeaway from this programme is learning about the culture and people of korea. i have learnt about their food and traditions and if i visit korea in the future, i would feel more familiar and not so lost. overall i really enjoyed this experience and i look forward to communicating with my buddy and making more friends.
