Icheon « Santa Clara Icheon × Santa Clara ~ - Icheon - Santa Clara What I Experienced
I learned about the differences in culture, but more importantly, I created a long-distance connection with people that I never would have interacted with otherwise if I didn't join this Exchange Program. I made strong bonds with the people in my group, where we even called and played games together long after the Exchange Program ended. To this day, I still talk with the people in my group and gained priceless experiences because of the Exchange Program.
