Guess what international students think of Korea?

Paloma Lopez, a student from Mexico, replied,�"Students in my school started to show more interest in Korea. It was quite surprising in all aspects at�first; however, I found much similarities with my country as I get along."

Karla Naves, a student studying international trade, said, "Miracle on the Han River came to me as�the most impressive one. It is the first time in history that the nation's economy grew this fast,"�showing much interest in Korean economy.

Other international students also explained their experience getting help from�others when got lost, mentioning "Koreans are nice and kind".

In addition, students picked the university's administration and medical service as the most�inconvenient part when living in Korea. Also, Valentina Jamba, a student from Angola, Africa, showed�a little frustration towards Korean students, saying "They are nice but when it comes to becoming�friends, it is a bit difficult."

Koreans are warmhearted, but it is true that they don't show the intimacy�through a smiling face when it comes to the first impression. It might be those customs that make�tourists and foreign students harder to become close to local Koreans.

This is how Visit Korea Committee started the 'K-Smile Campaign', a kind hospitality campaign�throughout the whole nation! With the slogan "Korea smiles and world smiles back", we plans to�constantly inform the importance of smile and warm hospitality. We ask for your continuous�participation towards K-Smile Campaign.

Also, with the help of international students currently studying in Korea, we present you the tips on�comfortable and fun life in Korea for those who are preparing to study abroad in Korea as we operate�kind hospitality campaign.

We proudly introduce '24 hour Tourist Information Call 1330'!�1330 is a 24 hour tourist information call for both domestic and foreign tourists that offers various�information when traveling to Korea. It not only supports tourist information but also provides a tourist�translation service in English, Chinese, and Japanese to help tourists with the communication.
