Home South Korea

A 3-months journey in South Korea: starting from a baduk class (better known as the japanese go) at the Kings Baduk Center to the travel in a extremely resourceful country with splendid people.

As you read on the last message, some of us will stay here and so they will continue this adventure at the school: but today is the last day at KBC for me and other students (Pavol already left yesterday).
In the next days we will all be in Seoul: today we will visit the Sky Baduk's TV studio and then we will take a short visit to Oromedia's store, the most famous publishing house here in South Korea. In the evening we will go in a club to party all together. Friday is free day, and we don't know exactly how to organize ourselves, but I think it will be reserved to shopping and playing the last games in some club/dojang. I think I'll spend Saturday and Sunday in the same way, probably with IBA guys, before taking the plan back to Italy on Monday 1st June.
As far as this website, I've still a lot of things to publish, so please continue to visit it also in the next weeks: I've to organize a lot of information material and pictures of the trip discovering South Korea (and it's very interesting of course) and then many others interviews, both at the students and our teachers, very interesting too! Until now I got the chance to write almost only about what was happening here, without many comments or observations: once at home, maybe with some more time and in cold blood, I'd like to tell you more about the human and cultural point of view of this adventure.

Finally I'd like to thank you all readers of this website, you were great!!

After 3 months of study and sometimes of fun, the baduk adventure in Korea officially ends. The closing ceremony we had today officialized the end of the class. Some of us, me included, will go back home, while other will remain at the school: some students got a scholarship to stay here at the school (Klara Zaloudkova, Janine Boehme, Tungalag Ravjir and Vorawat Charoensitthisathien), some other will stay for more three months (Ofer Zivony, Francesco Marigo, Sebastian Rieche), while Scott Jankowkski will stay here to study and to help korean kids in Seoul with english lessons.

We spent the day before the closing ceremony essentially relaxing and amusing ourselves all the day. We've been close to the bank of the river that flow near KBC and we walked, chatted, ate and had a bath. During the night we had a devastating over-6-hours norebang marathon...

The last week I traveled around Korea with Pedro: everything went good, we had a lot of fun and we saw many beautiful places. In the next weeks I'll publish more details about the trip day by day with pictures, details and more useful information.
While I'm trying to find some time to arrange everything, here is the preview of the route.
