對很多韓國學校來說，原來我們這樣入校3天、2晚HOMESTAY的模式是多麼地難得和不容易啊! 專門承辦台、韓姊妹校教育旅行的資深業內人員非常讚嘆我們的情誼真的不簡單，連派來專門過來要協助翻譯的高級主管也自認完全沒有派上用場，因為我們師、生完全都可以用英語溝通。回想從7年前對方首次來訪那時的恐懼、擔心出錯，一直到現在第3次回訪的悠遊自得、遊刃有餘(當然還是有全新的驚喜和驚嚇)，不免感嘆時光飛逝、但也欣喜學生和我的成長!
What makes this international partnership continue to thrive and grow stronger? It is a bond that transcends language and distance, cultivated by discovering our shared values and appreciating our nuanced differences. To me, Korea used to be nothing more than a neighboring Asian country on the map. Now, I have friends here that I can gossip and laugh with at a welcome dinner without holding anything back.
