Spring semester has come and gone. It's time for most of us to pack our bags and go back home. So, I asked 28 Konkuk University exchange students: "What will you miss most about Seoul?" No one said noraebang.

How to feed yourself in Seoul
by Matt Dela Peña
When I went to China last summer, the one thing I did not get to try was street food and I'm probably going to regret it for the rest of my life, or until I go back to China. Street food vendors in Nanjing could not speak English and I, likewise, did not know a lick of Chinese.
So last year, when I finally found out I was going to be living in Seoul for four months, I knew that the first thing I needed to learn was the how to order food in Korean. And after having been here for two weeks already, I'm pretty convinced that my decision to study a little was completely worth it.
