2012 EISC Session I Participant: Jamile Bittar
2012 EISC Session I Participant: Jamile Bittar Methodist University of San Paulo, Brazil When brazilian people hear about South Korea they don’t think about the diversity of culture that exists. I was one of those. When I first arrived I thought it would be just a normal experience in a different country. I never expected that I would make so many great friends as I did. People were amazing to me, so Nice and polite and curious about my culture just as much as I was curious for their. Pretty much for most brazilians Ásia is one big place where asian people live with thei differences. They don’t usually understand how bright and big the culture in South Korea is. I learned so much over one group of people. Today I have a different Idea about everything else. I am not going to believe on first impressions like I used too. Most of all what I’ve learned from that month at Ewha was about friendship. How important and amazing it is to keep friendships all around the world. I’ve met people from places that I never expect to be curious about. Now all I want is to visit mosto f this far places. I want to know everything that is different from what I already know. Ewha was my first experience abroad, but it Will not be the last. And South Korea is definetly my new passion, and it Will not be the only time that I visit this amazing country.

2012 EISC Session I Participant: Gloria Tan
2012 EISC Session I Participant: Gloria Tan Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Best Summer Ever I would never ever forget the summer that I have spent in Ewha Womans University. I was a summer student for the 2012 Summer Session 1 programme. At first, I was apprehensive about travelling to Korea alone, but I am glad that I made the right choice. Though we were strangers from various parts of the world, all of us managed to bond like friends who have not seen each other for ages! Everyone that I met in the summer programme was so warm and welcoming, that my initial fears of coming to Korea alone were immediately dissipated! The field trips organized by Ewha were a good way to make happy memories with my newfound friends, and at the same time, learn so much more about the Korean culture! The lecturers were awesome as well. Not only were the knowledgeable in the field of study that they were teaching, they were also very friendly and approachable! It seems to me like they were more of our friends rather than our teachers! The lecturers themselves brought us on field trips to enhance our learning in the classroom, and what better way to learn than from the streets of Seoul itself! Apart from school life, we also had the opportunity to explore Seoul by ourselves during the weekends! The people of Korea are indeed very hospitable and kind hearted! One of the most memorable experiences I had was when my friend and I were in the jjimchilbang in Itaewon, a really nice ahjusshi spoke to us! He said that he could tell that we were foreigners and, with all the English that he knew, tried to strike a conversation with us! With the limited Korean that we knew, we tried to keep the conversation going! It was indeed a very heartwarming experience for us. Seoul is indeed a very vibrant city, and with Ewha’s centralised location, fun isn’t far away! I am sure that every one of us from the summer session has very different experiences in Seoul, but one thing is for sure, is that all of us had one of the most memorable summer, ever. To anyone that is interested to participate in Ewha’s summer programme: Sign up now!!! Do not hesistate And to the friends that I have made from 2012 Summer Session 1: Thank you for the memories! 너무 사랑해

2012 EISC Session I Participant: Elizabeth Mah
2012 EISC Session I Participant: Elizabeth Mah Smith College, USA Ewha: More than a University Forgive me for being cliché, but this summer at Ewha University was like an unforgettable dream, leaving me a different person, miles from where I was one month ago at the beginning of my summer 2012. Admittedly, I was a little nervous on the first day at the welcoming ceremony. It’s that anxious feeling you get when you stand in a roomful of strangers and you’re not quite sure where you fit in yet. Would I be able to find friends among these faces? Little did I know that I would find lifetime sisters that would remain at my side through every adventure that I’d have in Korea. The classes were entertaining, the campus absolutely beautiful. I fulfilled a lifelong dream of learning to play the gayageum (가야금). My favorite piece to learn by far was Hwimori (회모리) as I had heard my instructor perform it for us. The class even had five boys this year! (There was only one in last year’s session.) Dressing up in our hanbok (한복) at the closing ceremony to perform for our friends and show off the skills we acquired in the short month was a thrill! It’s a shame that I have to let the gayageum (가야금) go as I return to the States. I hope one day that I may pick it up and pursue it again. This scholarship to Ewha gave me more than a chance to study abroad. It was a key to the entirety of Korea. It was the first time in 12 years that I had visited Korea and I had free reign to explore every aspect of it! On weekends, I took trips to Kyungju (경주) to help a new friend meet her birth mother, Buddhist temples to sit among monks and learn their philosophies, visit palaces where the royalty of my history books used to reside, and so much more. There were street performers singing cool acoustic sets on summer nights by the Chunggaechun (청계천) stream, countless trips to street vendors for chicken on a stick among other delicious treats, coffeehouses throughout Hongdae (홍대), shopping sprees through the streets of Edae (이대) and MyeongDong (명동), late night pat-bing-soo (팥빙수) dessert runs to the famous Ho-Mil-Pat(호밀밭) shop in Sinchon (신촌), and simply taking the time to wander throughout the city and discover amazing things by some stroke of fate—always in the right place at the right time. Ewha was the place to be this summer. People underestimate the power of study abroad. Not only has it further cultivated my independence and self-efficiency but it has given me confidence in everything from navigating through the subway to bartering with shop owners for the best deals. Speak up! Be a force to be reckoned with! Don’t take no for an answer!...but all with the charm and wit as is befitting an “Ewhaian”, as they have come to call us. I feel as though I’m one step closer to being the type of person I have always aspired to be: confident, passionate, independent, and more than anything else, more in tune with my Korean heritage. I had high expectations for my month in Korea but the real thing ended up surpassing all of the hopes and speculations that I could have ever had. It was indescribable and unforgettable. I’d like to thank the members and sponsors of the EUW Alumnae Association, Washington D.C. Chapter who have played a pinnacle role in allowing me this opportunity to be at Ewha University this summer as well as the staff and peace buddies (you know who you are!) of Ewha who made this short month one of the most memorable for years to come. It has

2012 EISC Session I Participant: Ami Terachi
2012 EISC Session I Participant: Ami Terachi Mount Holyoke College, Japan I remember the day I arrived in Seoul at the end of June, when I couldn’t even figure out the way from the nearest bus station to the University but didn’t have courage to ask for direction because of my poor Korean; after wandering about for some time in the intense heat of summer with heavy suitcases I was already exhausted and sweating all over by the time I finally made it to the International House of Ewha Womans University. When I left the campus one month later upon the completion of the program, however, I was feeling much more comfortable walking around the neighborhood and even had gained confidence in talking to people on the streets in Korean. It seems to have passed by in an instant, but one full of discovery, learning and self-reflection. I learned so much, not only about the Korean language itself, which was my original purpose of attending this summer college, but also about the Korean society in general, the city of Seoul, Korean food, history and culture, and to some extent, about my home country Japan. One of the things that I liked most about this international summer college was its diversity of the participants. Until I got to the campus I had no idea as to how big this program would be, but as it turned out, there were more than 200 students from more than 15 countries. Simply meeting these people from different universities all over the world was itself a valuable experience, as well as learning what motivated them to come all the way to Korea; many Korean Americans (and alike) seemed to have come to learn about their heritage language and culture; some were East Asian Studies majors and pursued their academic interests; others were K-pop lovers and of other Korean popular culture; yet others, including myself, were language freaks – coming to learn Korean as their fourth or fifth language “just for fun”. In my classes there were students from Singapore, Britain, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, US, and Korea (Ewha students and others) and I truly enjoyed learning about them and their perspectives. Their levels of Korean varied as well, from very beginner who had never studied Korean (not even Hangul) to very advanced. We explored the city together, tried Korean food together, learned from each other, laughed together, and had fun together. During the program, I took modern Korean history class in the morning and Korean language class in the afternoon from Monday to Thursday. Between the two classes I often went to Posco building to have cheap but tasty Kimbap (only 2000-3000 won) for lunch and did homework or took a nap, and after class in the evening I went out to try different Korean dishes for dinner. On weekends I ventured into the city with my new friends. Seoul is such a vibrant city and has a lot to offer; although I didn’t go to many tourist spots that guidebooks tell us to go, I got to catch a glimpse of modern as well as traditional aspects of the city by simply walking down the street – looking up the skyscrapers, admiring historical temples, looking at numerous advertisements of plastic surgery – or by just people-watching while riding the well-air-conditioned, highly-digitalized Seoul Metro. Seoul is also very international, and so is Ewha Womans University; I could totally have survived without using Korean during the program and initially my Korean didn’t seem to improve much. With that realization I pushed myself to use Korean as much as possible during the second half of the program and I started to feel more comfortable speaking in Korean. The language class and daily life conversation complemented each other in my learning of Korean. Although I could hardly main

2011 EISC Sesion I: Jacqueline Ong
2011 EISC Session I Participant: Jacqueline Ong National Chengchi University, Taiwan It started with a click. A small act of randomness typical of me whose general preoccupation would be to wander about, stumble on any bump jutting out from the ground, stop on some things I fancy, and either finding myself trapped in a rut or indulging in Pandora’s box. Good thing, it was the former that happened when I was in the month-long summer program at Ewha. The first week of intensive Korean language classes strained my mouth muscles to the point that talking has become such a chore. King Sejong must have been seriously bored when he invented all those vowels and mixed consonants while staring at window shutters! But at least it got me speaking basic Korean from zero. Four weeks of classes made me realize that I had a most awesome teacher, Minseon Kim, who happens to share the same name as a good friend. Not only did I discover that I can make audible sounds and intelligible words beyond the 26 letters of the English and the 37 of the Chinese alphabets, but I was moreso inspired by the stories our seonsengnim shared about Ewha Womans University. It dawned on me that one person of pure motives can bring so much historical and social significance as exemplified by Ewha founder Mary Scranton. She started a school in her home with only one student in 1886, at a time when women in Korea weren’t even allowed to take in formal education. And because of one simple act of stepping out of the conventional, I, and good many other women all over the world are privileged to have prime education and be part of this legacy of faith. Being back in Taiwan where I’m also an international student, I can’t help but reminisce the good times I had back in Ewha. I’m missing the gothic buildings, the huge stone steps, the hill-ding (the building on a hill that everyone else calls ECC), the sprawling landscape greens, the hidden trails, the library where I had spent afternoons reading books from its extensive collection, museums, my dormitory where friendly

2011 EISC Sesion I: Jessica Minjy Kang
2011 EISC Session I Participant: Jessica Minjy Kang Brown University, USA My experience at Ewha: After my first experience at Ewha in 2008, I knew that I wanted to come back to Korea. Although I had been to Korea before then, my experience at Ewha showed me a side of Seoul I had not had the chance to see before. It made me appreciate the Korean culture I had grown up with but had never given much thought. This is what made me come back to Ewha in 2011. I had another wonderful summer experience that was a perfect combination of learning and enjoying the culture around me. The teachers and staff at Ewha were always welcoming and enthusiastic about what they were doing, which created such a great environment. I really enjoyed the Korean Language class and the Korean ceramics class and felt that I learned a lot from both of them. The summer program also draws a diverse group of international students that I had so much fun getting to know. There was always so much to do both around campus and around Seoul, and I was able to explore different parts of the city, go to concerts, try new foods, and just broaden my experiences in general. I would (and have) highly recommend this program to anyone who is considering it!

2011 Session I Participant: Christine Oh
2011 EISC Session I Participant: Christine Oh Syracuse University, USA "Even though you were born in the US and can’t speak Korean you will always be a Korean first," my uncle told me. Korean adults are relentless in voicing their beliefs on how second generation Korean-Americans are always "first Korean," no matter how American they feel or act. I always wondered why they’d say this to me so insistently, as if they thought I was denying my roots. However, my experiences at Ewha International Summer College taught me that although I was not denying my heritage, I wasn’t necessarily embracing it either. “Si tienes dos lenguas, tienes dos almas.” My Spanish teacher would tell us that if we spoke two languages, we had two souls. If that were true, then I have three souls: American (English), Latin American (Spanish), and Korean. Yet, the only time I could speak Korean fluently was during my last visit to Korea when I was only four years old. I guess that means I had left a part of my soul there. The EWUUAC NA Washington DC Scholarship was a boarding pass to a school where I would recapture what I had left behind. The Ewha summer program offered me an intensive language course along with eye-opening field trips which helped me to better understand Korean culture and history, and improve my ability to speak Korean. "It’s not where you are, it’s who you’re with that matters," my friend remarked. If I had travelled to my parents´country for vacation purposes only, my experience would not have been as remarkable. The Ewha International Summer program connected me to a diverse student body and staff which made my visit to Korea very memorable. I did not just learn about Korean culture; I ended up learning about the cultures of the world— China, Norway, Japan, Australia, Germany, and Singapore, to name a few. I came to feel proud of my heritage by interacting with my classmates and participating in cultural activities.

2011 Session I Participant: Angeline Ng
2011 EISC Session I Participant: Angeline Ng University of Exeter, UK After hearing all the good stuff from a friend who attended the previous summer school, I decided to come to Ewha. I knew that I will have a great time in Ewha and that is so true. 4 weeks in Ewha summer school was indeed one of the best experiences I had. The campus itself is so beautiful and have great facilities. They even have beds in the study rooms! Besides, Ewha offered nice shared-room with good facilities for summer school students. It is modern, comfortable and convenient. There is a wide range of subject to choose from and I enjoyed both of my AM and PM classes so much. The lecturers were dedicated and friendly. The standard of teaching was high. The interaction between lecturers and students was good. My East Asian History lecturer used to buy us coffee and had a class outing to the National Musuem of Korea. My Korean teacher brought the class for Jajeongmeon (which I missed it so much) and even taught us some Korean songs and games. I started from knowing zero Korean to now able to read,write and sing in Korean. Besides academia, the other exciting activities were the fieldtrips. All of them were fun and some were educational. I cried so much during the visit to House of Sharing, got so excited while watching Bboy performance and went crazy in Mud-festival. The fieldtrips were amazing and there were no additional charges.The staff and PEACE buddy were very helpful and I have form good friendship with the Buddies. Overall, Ewha Summer school programme is amazing. I have learn so much academically and culturally. I would highly recommend this summer programme to those who are interested in experiencing Korea culture.

2011 Session I Participant: Joseph Kim
2011 EISC Session I Participant: Joseph Kim Yale University, USA First and foremost, I am extremely grateful that I was chosen as one of the recipients of the scholarship. The experience that I had this past summer would not have been possible without the help, and this experience is something that I would have deeply regretted if I were to have missed it. To put the previous words in perspective, I should mention that I am not foreign to attending various summer programs. I have gone through a multitude of programs and events in the last couple of years and it would be a lie to say that all of them have been excellent. Some have been good, others not so much so. It is without a doubt in my mind that I place my four weeks at Ewha under the “good” category of my past summer experiences. However, to lump the four weeks at Ewha with the others would be doing injustice to the program. I had the opportunity to study with Professor Andrei Lankov, one of the premier leaders in the field of North Korean studies. I also had the opportunity to formally learn my native language for the first time. But it was not just the academic program that made the summer college outstanding. It was the flexibility to go out and explore the country that gave this program its unique twist. Located in one of the bustling parts of Seoul, Ewha was a perfect place to visit many of the must-see places. I have made some incredible friends during my time there and it was with a heavy heart that I returned back home. Though I have tried to relay my time there to others, I have found that trying to capture the essence with just words falls short of experiencing it for oneself. Now rather than babbling about my own adventures, I simply recommend others to try out Ewha International Summer College. I am sure that it will not disappoint.

2011 Session I Participant: Oliver Diesing
2011 EISC Session I Participant: Oliver Diesing Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany "Living in Asia for some years, Korea was always very interesting to me. Something about this culture is unique and can´t be compared to China, Hong Kong or Japan. The presence of tradition and modernity at the same made me wonder how Korean society really works. After hearing a lot of good stuff and some bad stuff from people who lived in Korea, I was even more excited to come and see for myself and create my own truth. So I came across the summer school programs of Korean universities and one school in particular caught my attention. EWHA is the biggest womans university of the world. To study at EWHA as a male student is an enriching experience. It is almost like a field work experience for studying gender and anthropology. The classes in the summer college are really good. The variety is great. It was really hard for me to decide which class I want to take, since the syllabus includes classes like Korean traditional ceramics, Relations between North- and South Korea and Korean Cinema. The professors I met were very dedicated to their subjects and the overall studying experience is incredible. I learned much more then in a usual semester. The other students at EWHA are very nice and helpful with every problem you might have. EWHA has a really great Buddy system. Every exchange student gets his buddy, which is contacting you even before you arrive in Korea. You can ask questions and they even get you from the airport if requested. They organized lots of activities everyone was free to join. So EWHA is more than the usual summer school, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you! The field trips were amazing, the classes are actually fun and the campus is just beautiful. I would totally do it again next year if I get another chance to come and would like to recommend it to anyone who is interested in having an amazing summer in
