15 S Korean students immerse in State’s culture, beauty

Kota Kinabalu: Some 15 university students from South Korea were in the State capital for a familiarisation trip to the islands and Ranau National Park, among others.
The group’s leader An Woo Jin @ Chuck, from Kongju National University, said it was their first time visiting Malaysia and were delighted to learn of many interesting places available and can be good packages for holiday destination.

One of their main objectives of visiting Sabah was to explore the places of interest for their assignments in which they need to describe places that they visited.

Modetour Company, a travel and tour agency based in Jung-Gu, Seoul, was responsible to bring the university students to the State. Kwanghwan Yang, its team manager, was with the group for four days.

“We are from different universities in Korea but we major in the same subject which is tourism.

We are sponsored by Modetour tour and travel agency company to visit tourism spots here and thereafter we are to write reports about the outcome of our visit,” Chuck said.

“Apart from visiting the interesting places, we are also visiting a primary school to get to know the local children.

“We are very lucky that the local tour agency in Kota Kinabalu had arranged for us to visit the school.”

On their last day in the State capital, the students had the privilege to visit SK Bantayan in Inanam and spent two hours with the students.

Among the activities they carried out at the school were face painting and bubble blowing.
