Exchange target university: HEC Montréal, Canada
There were many first times in my exchange trip. Aside from the first snow storm, I had my first Chinese New Year celebration abroad. Our Korean flat mate taught us to make kimbap (Korean-style sushi) and we also made dumplings and sweet dumplings together. We prepared our “feast” and celebrated New Year with our landlady’s family. We liked gatherings, the feeling of being together. Dishes in Canada may be too big for us, but sharing food brought us closer.
Canada astonished me when I found out it was still snowing in Quebec in March, so we went there and I had my first-time skiing. Although there were more people speaking French, I seemed gradually getting used to and enjoy the foreign lifestyle.
