My stay with
Kyung-hee and family was nothing short of comfortable. They are a very lovely
family. They cared for me when I wasn't feeling well and constantly made sure
that I was doing and feeling okay. Kyung-hee feels like a sister to me, I truly
enjoy talking to her and listening to her stories/experiences, even though
sometimes we didn't have the same point of views. I'll definitely miss being
greeted by her warm "did you sleep well" in the morning and "did
you have a good day" in the evening.. To be honest I was a little worried
to have a kid as young as Heesung living with me cause I don't know how to
handle kids (haha) and being the youngest in my family didn't really give me
the opportunity to be an older sister, but Heesung was different. She's mature
in many areas, she's smart, talented, caring and so much more that you wouldn't
expect from a child her age. In a nutshell, privacy wasn't an issue at all
living in this household.
Kyung-hee and
Heesung would always teach me Korean terms and enlightened me with Korean
cultures that I didn't know. They brought me to the church they used to go and
Children's Grand Park, knowing that I'm a photographer. Heesung even gave me a
Korean vocabulary test! Most of all, I adore Kyung-hee's cooking. She'd always ask
me to join them for lunch and dinner whenever I was home, even when I didn't
pay for it (as mentioned in your homepage that additional charges will apply
for meal). I remember one time I was so full that I had to take a walk along
Cheongyecheon at 12am to help
relieve my stomach haha. Also, not forgetting the amount of strawberries she
fed me with in winter and spring, huge stacks!
I'm very
satisfied with your service. In terms of the improvements, if I really had to
pick something, I'd say a more affordable price? You were very attentive and
helpful throughout the process, from matching me with a host family, checking
up on me and my stay, to being there to help with my issues. I truly appreciate
it.
Again, thank you
for being part of my exchange experience. I truly appreciate your guidance and
help. Cheers!
Warmest regards,
