Dear Servas host and friends!

Thank you so much for making my trip to S. Korea so fantastic and sharing your love, culture and home with me! I will always remember this gift to my heart from all of you! You touched my heart.

Again, Thank you so much for my stay at your home and for your generous hospitality. It was a present for me to stay with you. You enriched my heart with so much love and fantastic surprises. I will always keep this beautiful memory in my heart. I have S. Korea with love in my heart.!!!

My travel report from S. Korea:

My heart told me long time ago to go to Korea/because I have something to learn there...I always listen to my heart where my heart likes to go. Now I know why my heart wanted to go there. Its people touched my heart with all their love in their words and actions. Koreans hearts are warm, sensitive and generous which make them very special. All beautiful buddhist temples and mountains impressed me and all trekkers hiking in the mountains. All young and fit seniors. Many persons looking 10 years younger than their actual age. Because of your healthy delicious cuisine and consciousness to avoiding sun.

Your food are exciting and delicious!

In the old temples, I felt sacred energy. One could feel the force of offerings here long time ago.....

In the background were Seoul’s hightech buildings and high tech world with neonlights. I felt, I was in another world long time ago...This was very bisarr/strange/interesting- two worlds so close to each other...Later I understood as your country has 70% mountains they need to build high tech buildings so close to the ancient temples. In Sweden we have more space and it would be forbidden to build a modern building so close to an ancient, beautiful building.

I saw mothers praying and making offerings in temples for their children passing for University exams. Students in S. Korea have to study so hard....I do not know what to say about that? Positive or negative? I just know that in Sweden students should definitely not complain about to much homework.

Koreans hearts are warm, sensitive and generous which make them very special.

Their cuisine are exciting, healthy and delicious.

North Korea in the north so close to Seoul. American Soldiers based in Seoul walking in the foreigner district. Soldiers in their kaki -uniforms.

I felt like, I took part in an American movie I have seen long time ago when I was walking in the foreign district.

All S. Koreans are so cool about this political issue. They do not want to get worried and disturbed by N. Koreans threatens.

All your transportation system are great and makes it easy to travel in S. Korea. I am so surprised about your free restroom facilities in the Subway. All are so clean and the S. Koreans take good care about their public facilities, as well. Unfortunately, I can not say so about Europe.

I enjoyed so much Korean sauna "Jjimjilbang". It was a wonderful, exciting and interesting experience.

I climbed Hallasan Mountain and hiked along some trails on Jeju Island. I like to come back again for some more trekking.

I was so surprised that S. Korea offered so many beautiful trails /hikings and facilities . Now I tell my hiking friends that S. Korea is an exciting country for beautiful hikings. They all are so surprised to hear this information.

Andong was a very interesting place to visit with all its culture.

You all Servas hosts have been so kind and generous to me and giving me so much generosity. This feeling with love from S. Korea I will always remember and keep in my heart.

Once again thank you so much for making my trip to S. Korea so beautiful and fantastic. I wish to come back again to S. Korea!

In Servas friendship,

Katharina
