On Day 2 in Seoul, we visited Korea University for a community service activity, where students joined university student mentors to pick up litter in a nearby neighbourhood.

To end the day, we participated in a Korean cooking class, making local dishes like gimbap, japchae, mandu dumplings, and kimchi.

Today was an unforgettable day filled with rich history and exhilarating fun! We kicked off our adventure by visiting the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ), the buffer zone that separates North and South Korea along the 38th parallel. This incredible site offered our students a unique glimpse into the complexities of Korean history and the ongoing conflict in the region.
The afternoon was spent shopping and exploring the local culture, where we picked up some unique souvenirs to remember our trip. As the sun set, we headed to a baseball game, which was the perfect way to end the day! The excitement in the stadium was palpable as the home team, the 'Twins,' faced off against the 'Eagles.' The electric atmosphere was filled with cheers, and we witnessed an action-packed game. In a nail-biting finish, the 'Twins' emerged victorious, leaving us thrilled with the day's events.

Day 4 in Korea began with a well-deserved sleep-in, allowing everyone to ease into the day's exciting schedule. We kicked off our adventures at Hikr Ground, a vibrant, four-story interactive centre featuring a K-Pop museum that dazzled students with its futuristic design.
For lunch, we visited Tongin Market, where students used unique coins to sample a variety of delicious foods from different vendors. After lunch, we embraced Korea's love for baseball at the batting cages, where students had a blast trying out the interactive baseball cages. We even hit some home runs!
Our afternoon concluded with the NANTA show, a family-friendly performance blending comedy, juggling, and high-energy percussion to tell the story of four chefs under pressure. We laughed and enjoyed the lively atmosphere. As the day wound down, we headed to a local spot for bulgogi stew for dinner.
