Date/Time: (6/19)
Location: CIES
Tutees: Jenny, Seop, and Yong
I meet with Jenny, Seop, and Yong along with Jake, last week at the CIES. Yong and Seop brought us the very spicy Korean version of instant noodles (tried it recently and it was delicious). I assume that gift-giving is an important part of Korean culture as this was the second gift Seop and Yong had given me and the fact the Jenny was writing letters to those students/teachers which she bonded with while at CIES. I found this touching gesture on their part. Since both Jenny and Seop are leaving soon we talked about what they were excited about with their upcoming return to Korea. Seop is going to join the military, as all men are required to do a year of service, and Jenny was going to continue her studies. Jake and I asked them about some pop culture references and what they took away from their time in the States.
