How my lifestory in Korea has been started

My ‘Korean story’ has been started about 12 years ago when I had a chance to visit Korea for the first time. Actually, I was lucky enough and at the year, at the same trip I have been to North Korea too. It was just a one day trip, but many South Koreans were super jealous because they are not allowed to pass the board.

So, in summer 2007 I got an invitation to the Summer International Youth Camp in Korea which was fully free. I was really surprised and happy. But that was my first time when I supposed to go abroad alone and not just to the neighbor country. The flight from my hometown to Korea takes almost a day because there is no direct one, and I needed to take 2-hours flight to Alma-Aty and the from there to Korea a 7-hours flight. But before talking about flights I will share my preparations to the trip.

Well, if be honest, my parents were super worrying. I was always a ‘home kid’, and my parents were taking care about me a lot. But on other side, they knew that it is a great opportunity for me and they allowed me to join that journey.

So, I started to collecting documents, applied for a VISA and bought my ‘Lucky tickets’!

If you wanna know about that camp, wait for the next story^^
