My experience was a fantastic one to be eexact. Once I landed, I was greeted by the coordinators and was taken around the following day. I enjoyed my time working at the internship; and any issues that arose, I spoke to the coordinators about it and it was quickly resolved. One of the best parts about the internship was the people you meet along the way. The coordinators and interns were very fun to around with and that was amongst the highlights. Everything about my time in Seoul was more than I expected.
