부산 Day 5 - 31/10/13

For today, we had a very exciting and fun day, as we went to many different and educational places like the Busan Institute of Science Education and the Maths Science Park. We also went to many shopping sites at the end of the day. It was truly a memorable and enriching experience for all of us. 

Reflection

We found that the journey was enriching as we got to learn different things like the smart class and the disection skill. We found that the groups were organized and enthusiastic about the programmes.

Description

-Enriching. I got to learn about how to disect a shark and learnt about it’s organs and their positions.

- Awesome as I got to see different spiders at the exhibition. They were in differnet sizes and had different patterns on their bodies.

-Delicious, as the food I ate was scrumptious and I enjoyed all of them, especially the Jajangmeon.

What We Learnt About Korea in BSS

-The buddies in BSS are kind and helpful. For example, our buddies gave us several small gifts as tokens of appreciation and were extremely grateful and kind to us.

 Korean Culture

-We found out that most of the Korean food has some degree of spicyness. For example, they have kimchi, in their every meal everyday. Kimchi is served as a condiment and its is slightly spicy and sour.

- The Koreans have a fascination about math and science. They are also a very advanced country as they have wifi almost everywhere. Some of the train stations even use QR codes to buy grocery items

Highlights in Korea

Today we dissected a fish and two sharks. The sharks which we disected were the smallest species in Korea. We could identify the various parts inside the shark. And could identify their gender.

From Singapore to Korea
As today was our last day in Busan Science High School, we shared some local snacks with the Korean students and teachers. We let them sample several traditional treats from the 4 major races in Singapore. The scrumptious spread included Pineapple Tarts, Kueh Bangkit, Kaya, Murukku, Gem Biscuits and Shrimp Rolls.

Sharing Traditional Singaporean Games
In addition to the mouth-watering local spread, we also brought some of our traditional games to Busan such as Five Stones, Chapteh and Kuti-Kuti. The BSHS students had a great time with the SST students and it was a fantastic bonding time for all of us.
