School of Science and Technology: GCP Trip to Busan, South Korea

School of Science and Technology: GCP Trip to Busan, South Korea

부산 Day 6 1/11/13

As the saying goes "The bad news is that time flies. The good news is that you're the pilot." Although today is unfortunately the last day of our trip in Busan, we have made every second of it worthwhile. We've had an enjoyable, meaningful and enriching time here. We've stepped out of our comfort zones and tried different things we never thought we'd ever do, thanks to the support of our friends and teachers. We've learnt life-long lessons that will shape us into confident, caring, responsible, and independent young adults. We are so grateful to everyone who has put in effort into planning this trip for us. We are also very touched by the warmth and hospitality of the Koreans. 감사하십시오! Thank you!

The staff at Busan Science High School took very good care of us during our stay, ensuring that the dormitory rooms were clean and comfortable. Even the meals provided by the cafeteria staff were scrumptious and nutritious. 

The lessons and activities planned by Busan Science High School were engaging and fruitful. We've gained so much new knowledge from the dedicated teachers at BSHS, who despite the language barrier, tried their best to speak in English while carrying out the lessons. We have enjoyed each and every lesson very much and it was an eye opening experience for us to have so many wonderful activities in just two short days in BSHS.

With our buddies' guidance, we were able to know more about Busan Science High School, understand the lessons, know more about the school life and learn more about the Korean culture. They have inspired all of us to study hard and be passionate in all that we do. I'm sure that the friendships we've forged with the students from BSHS will be lasting ones. 

We would like to say a big thank you to Busan Science High School, Ms Doreen Tan, Mrs Rachel Jang, Mr Karlson Goh and everyone else who made this trip successful. 안녕 부산! Goodbye Busan!
