Students' Travel to Korea Journal: Day 6 and 7

February 18-19, 2011

When the van appeared, we rode a van and went to the historical palaces and learned about Korean and Japanese war.

We enjoyed touring famous places in Korea. I was surprised about Korean - Japanese war before and I felt sad/ hurts about the soldiers torturing the woman. That make me hurt a lot. And we took pictures about the place so that SDEAS students can view it.

We went back to the Philippines and will never forget what I learned from Korea. I miss Korea!!!

~ Patrick Silver Padao

We really really thankful for the opportunity of this trip to Korea. They are well disciplined and had strong Korean identity, own rights. We have been learning from Korea students in Ilsaneou and KNU.

Students' Travel to Korea Journal: Day 5

February 17, 2011

Assistive Technology Center of KNU

We arrived in KNU and I was surprised that KNU is a very big school, Harry Potter's Hogwarts, it's an amazing school. They have good technology support like chairs, elevators, doors and other stuff that makes me surprised.

~Patrick Silver Padao

We had dialogue with deaf Koreans about learning FSL, KSL and other issues like what happened to North Korea. I enjoyed and was eager to learn Korean sign language because I love to communicate with them. I learn new signs while touring in the mall. I taught them how to use FSL . I can’t stop communicating with them because I’ m very eager to learn KSL and make new friends.
