One of the many gourmet meals provided by our gracious hosts |

"As we toured the countryside and looked at farms at the different high schools, I was surprised by the amount of technology that these farms used. I came in expecting a few pastures with some old cows and goats. But I was blown away by the amount of technology; between the universal use of greenhouses, to seeing a compost aerator, and a robotic milker. It never stopped amazing me how smoothly technology was integrated into agriculture."

"What surprised me the most was how quickly the time seemed to pass by. Today is our very last day in Korea and they say we have been here for a month, but I swear we just arrived yesterday. Each day was filled to the brim with either educational or cultural activities. Even our 'days off' were jammed packed because there was so much to see and do! What I have learned from this though is that every minute you are abroad counts for something. There is always something to be taken from each moment you have."

"I think what surprised me the most was how innovative Korean agriculture is. I was not expecting to see the intensive use of the acreage that we saw while traveling through the Korean countryside. They have extremely intensive production and seem to have a keen awareness of the need for sustainable practices in their country. I was also very impressed at the level of technology and depth of industry education available to high school students!"
