Fourth block

South Korea. I want to go to Korea. I loved the class about Korea, mostly South Korea. I think I even started the class one minute before the set starting time. One reason was that we had a scheduled skype meeting with a trade promotion agency and I wanted to give the basics about the country before that. The other reason was that I had talked with my friend who has lived in Korea and had learnt a lot from her about the country. Especially Korea's industrial development and society is very interesting.

Skype went smoothly. Ok - that was an over statement. It was my first ever public skype so naturally there is some fine tuning. We did not get the sound right so we had to wait, but with the help from IT we got it fixed. I have learnt that there are always some technical difficulties, and the best solution is always to stay calm and try to find an alternative. This time, we did not need to execute the alternative plan.

We also watched a video about Samsung work culture which I found interesting. That has become my mantra - if I think it is interesting, students probably find it interesting too. Never underestimate the students and "this could be useful for You" is often not interesting to the students.
