Cheung Cheuk Ting:
是次遊學團受益匪淺、收獲頗豐,我不但可以體會韓國傳統文化,而且可以欣賞韓國賞心悅目的景色,實在令人精神抖擻、心曠神怡。是次旅程的重中之重是遊覽不同企業現時產品,以及其對未來發展展望,好讓我們商科生瞭解各公司發展過程,從中吸取經驗,準備自己的未來,創造屬於自己的回味的時光與記憶,以免對自己的人生有後悔和遺憾,再進一步貢獻社會,關註香港發展、繼而瞭解韓國發展去向,既可以訓練我們關心身邊事情發展動態,又可以提升自身競爭力。
在韓國,除了引人入勝的櫻花翩翩起舞外,還有首爾市民安全體驗館,比較引人註目。衆所周知,香港是一個少災少難的地方,相比之下,我們的確應該幸福。所以,是此行程,我是比較期待這個活動。當然,它也不負衆望,樂趣無窮。體驗分爲地震、風災和火災。他們模擬不同等級的地震,以及普通暴風雨和大約十級颱風的威力。我們分別感受天災的威力,並且學習不同保護措施。雖然過程中,我們都爲對方的狼狽歡笑不已,但是這也是體驗館成功教育小學生中學生之處。過分的認真和嚴肅,只會讓小孩子過早絕望,面對真正的災難不知道如何用正面有效的方法解決,甚至會有弄巧反拙的效果。所以,是次體驗實在難忘。
談及韓國,相信都離不開三星手機和LG手機,兩個國際著名品牌。這次我們有幸參觀Samsung D’light和LG 科技館,觀看兩大龍頭公司如何別出心裁地設計展示自身產品和高科技,確實讓人嘆爲觀止。不過,我更爲欣賞LG 科技館,故事闡述比較連貫,並運用總分的寫作手法和遞進的修辭手法,介紹他們的科技研究和發展,以及對未來科技的期望,造福社會,讓我們生活更方便容易,並且獲得更好的生活體驗,提升生活素質。一邊推動人類發展,一邊從中獲利,繼續研發新產品,一舉多得。所以,做一件事要有十分的效率是次參觀的反思。
這些只是該遊學團較有意義的內容,其他活動同樣精妙絕倫。總結而言,韓國是一個讓人出其不意、驚喜連連的地方,而這個遊學團亦讓我明白許多生活細節要註意,也要宏觀地觀察一些大方向,張弛有度是最適合帶回香港的紀念品。很感謝學校給了我這個機會,走出香港。

在今年的四月中,我踏上了由百仁基金資助的韓國首爾之旅。這次交流團不在乎終點,而是在意途中的風土人情,那些記憶及景色。
初到首爾,走上前往首爾地標之一——南山塔,前往途中,馬路兩旁的櫻花盛開,進入南山塔嘅櫻花更叫人目不暇給,嫰白色的花瓣、夕陽西斜下的南山塔、感受着微微春風,一步一步走上山頂,眺望整個首爾市中心,讓初到韓國興奮的心情平靜下來,感覺到心胸的開闊。
接下來,去到了景福宮,這座朝鮮五大宮闕中規模最大的宮殿。一入宮內,一留意到宮殿建築特色頗像北京故宮,但沒有其帶來的強烈皇朝權威的震撼而是素雅、古樸的感覺,意外地讓人感到舒服。加上不少遊客換上傳統韓服,環繞着不同宮殿,讓我有若如置身古代的錯覺。
除此之外,還去了LG 科技館,第一感覺是韓國對比香港,創科的發展迅速先進,林林種種的科技產品,還有對社會責任的出力,如節電低污染的智能家居。這一方面是香港須加倍努力的方向。
來到了弘益大學商業圈,到了那天,我才切實有與韓國人面對面溝通的機會。遇到一個懂英文當地人主動問我與朋友是否迷路,還親自帶路,讓身處異鄉的我們感動不已,在對話中,才深入了解到韓國禮儀文化,敬語平語的重要性,明白韓國十分注重長幼有序。這種以第一身角度出發的文化交流,這種雙向的文化交流亦是此韓國之旅的寶貴經驗。
五日四夜不長亦不短,時至今日那幾天的經歷仍歷歷在目,交流團當中自己亦獲益良多,希望能夠重遊韓國。

I’m glad to join this study tour ,which i gained a lot from it .On the first day ,we visited Samsung museum ,it showed many advanced technology that i had never accessed. For example , there were some VR experience,i felt like taking part in in a real scenario .
And then we went to the N Seoul Tower .There were tons of cherry blossom over there that i had never seen before also . The view was fascinating and made an unforgettable memory to me.
On the second day,we went to the hazard prevention centre. The centre showed us some life-saving skills when we faced earthquake,fire,and typhoon.For example,when we faced earthquake at home, we should hide under the table . I am sure that this experience we cannot learn in the classroom. After that , we went to Guangzang Market. It sold many local food there .They tasted delicious, all of my friends enjoyed a lot .There was one food that I found extremely special . That was San-nakji ,which is an alive octopus . In the dish, they can move lively . I was totally attracted by them.
On the third day , we visited Gyeongbok Palace. That is a palace similar to the palace in Beijing but smaller . The tour guide introduced the history of different king .The visitors were allowed to wear Korean costume hanging around the palace .Unfortunately , we did not have this chance .This is one of my regret in this trip.After that ,we went to Korea university.The campus there was grand compare to universities in Hong Kong .There were many students sat on the grassland.Also , there was a student introducing the subjects there . We understood a lot about the school life of a Korean student .
On the fourth day, We went to have korean culture experience .We can made kimchi there .The teacher spoke in cantonese so we can understand every specific steps.All of us made kimchi successfully.After that , We can try to wear korean costume. The costume was colourful and we took many photos there. This experience was so special .After that , we went to hongdae shopping area. It was like MongKok ,selling cheap goods which targeted at teenagers.All of us bought many souvenirs there.
On the last day , we went to korea waste treatment plant .Our school bus can travel the plant .When the tour guide was explaining the procedures , we saw the plant outside the window .I learned to be more environmental-friendly and treasure what we had .
After all, I felt very grateful in this trip because i had never joined any study tour . I enjoyed every moments with my friends and gained a lot from this trip.
Yang Kit Yi:
The five days trip was really a bomb! I have so much fun during the trip. This was actually my first time to go to Korea with my teachers and fellow classmates. And I was really glad and thankful that I’ve got a chance to experience some Korean cultures.
In this trip, we got to learn about the development of the high-tech world. We visited some well-known technology companies and tried some of the high-tech devices, for example the visual reality device. Many of us were amazed by the smart devices and realized the importance of technology in our daily life. Besides learning things about the electronic world, we had a short visit to a history museum. It was nice to see things from the old Korea. Also, we went to visit a university there. Meeting the local student allowed us to know more about the university school life in Korea. And of course, we all fell in love with the stunning design of the school buildings.
Making kimchi was another unforgettable experience from the trip. This was actually my first time to try on making kimchi. And I really like the idea that the kimchi that the visitors made would be donated to some charities or organizations in the region. It was a clever idea to not wasting food. And help people in need at the same time. Moreover, we’ve got to try on the traditional Korean costume! Many of us were so eager to take as many photos as we could with each other, in order to keep them as great memories.
Last but not least, the most exciting time for a teenage girl would be the shopping time in Korea. Many of us had found something we wanted in a good deal. And shopping with friends would never be a bad experience.
For once more, I was really thankful that I was able to experience all the things that have mentioned above. And the trip was smooth thanks to our teachers, responsible classmates and the nice tourist guide. I’ve learnt a lot from this trip to Korea, not only knowledge about history or technology, but also how to respect different cultures. I definitely had a great time in this whole trip.
