My parents and younger sister visited Korea last week, so I brought them to my campus for half a day instead of only doing tourist spots. Just sharing in case anyone has family coming: at my school, the student office said visitors can usually enter most outdoor campus areas, and the library lobby was okay as long as we were quiet and respectful. The cafeteria was actually a nice stop too, because they could see my normal student life and not just the pretty parts of Seoul 🙂 It felt simple, but my family said seeing where I study made them understand my life here much better.

Minggu lalu orang tua dan adik perempuan saya berkunjung ke Korea, jadi saya mengajak mereka ke kampus saya selama setengah hari, bukan hanya pergi ke tempat wisata. Saya berbagi ini kalau-kalau ada yang keluarganya akan datang: di sekolah saya, kantor mahasiswa bilang pengunjung biasanya bisa masuk ke sebagian besar area luar kampus, dan lobi perpustakaan juga boleh selama kami diam dan bersikap sopan. Kafetaria juga ternyata jadi tempat singgah yang bagus, karena mereka bisa melihat kehidupan mahasiswa saya yang biasa, bukan hanya bagian-bagian Seoul yang cantik saja 🙂 Rasanya sederhana, tetapi keluarga saya bilang melihat tempat saya belajar membuat mereka jauh lebih mengerti kehidupan saya di sini.
