Guiding me through

“My mentor Kayla gave me recommendations on preparing for my exchange and introduced me to some useful mobile apps before I went to Seoul, which helped me adapt to the local living environment more easily. She also taught me about the local social culture and basic etiquette. During the COVID-19 period, we could not meet up in person, but still we stayed in touch through instant massager apps. She introduced me to a website where I could track on the local epidemic situation daily, which was really useful. Kayla also contacted me from time to time to see if I had any difficulties, and I would also contact her whenever I encountered problems.

Kayla not only introduced me to a newly opened Hong Kong style restaurant around my neighbourhood, which alleviated my missing of Hong Kong foods, she also introduced me a Hong Kong friend who is studying Korean and living close by. We had very good chat together, which is definitely a wonderful way to practise my Korean language skills.” Tyler with mentor Kayla Lim (first right) and a friend of Kayla.
