Toastmasters Club in Korea

        Being an active toastmaster in India for the past six months and also serving as a vice president public relations, I don’t want to leave the taste of toastmaster in Korea. So once I reached Korea, I started looking for the clubs near to me. Two such clubs, which I found were Itaewon Toastmasters Club and Blue ribbon Toastmasters Club. I started joining Itaewon toastmasters club online initially, then after 3 to 4 meetings, I visited the club in person. It happened every Sunday evening from 3pm to 5pm.

        What a gracious welcome I had there. I was never treated like a stranger, and the courteousness with which the toastmasters spoke to me made me feel at ease. People of all ages were present, which created a more favourable learning atmosphere. I then began attending the weekly in-person meetings. Even though it was distant from my home, I still enjoyed myself while there and talking with the Korean toastmasters. I participated in a variety of roles throughout each meeting, and it was wonderful to learn from individuals from various cultures. Infact, I gave my icebreaker speech in the club.




        The Blue Ribbon Toastmasters Club, which held meetings on Saturday mornings, was presented to me by one of the toastmasters at the Itaewon Toastmasters Club. I didn't pass up the opportunity. I went there as well. The Blue Ribbon Toastmasters Club had a many members and was extremely well-organized. They only held meetings offline. They gave me a warm welcome as well. So, my weekends were filled with enjoyable and educational Toastmasters meetings. I joined them for lunch (at the Blue Ribbon Toastmasters Club) and dinner (at the Itaewon Toastmasters Club) right after the meeting.

        I even attended the Christmas and New Year's parties held at the appropriate clubs. I had a blast. I was overjoyed that I had the opportunity to speak with and interact with the Korean toastmasters.

          If I were to pick one of the loveliest and happiest times in my life, it would be when I stayed in South Korea. I never thought south Korea would be such a stunning cheerful nation. I had the chance to spend about six months in South Korea. This was my first foreign trip and of course, my best journey. South Korea is one of the most developed countries in the world and also technologically advanced country. Kindness and Culture:           As a foreigner, when we travel to another country, what makes us to feel warm? Is it the food? Is it the technology? Is it the facilities? Absolutely not! It’s the people who makes us more comfortable. South Korea is majority of people with Kindness. I felt kindness in each and every one I met, be it in workplace or outside. The culture is so rich and welcoming. There are mostly polite. They have a great helping tendency. It was because of the kindness of my Korean colleagues as ...

Balwangsan mountain (Yongpyong Ski resort)

Image
          Balwangsan mountain would rank among my top travel experiences in South Korea, given the option to choose. I went on the entire day trip by myself. One of the longest cable cars in Asia, measuring around 7 km, was located in Balwangsan. The cable car ride to the peak took about 13–15 minutes. Snow was falling, and the weather was excellent, adding to the beauty. This was the day I had been waiting for to post the song "puthu vellai malai" in my status. Snow blanketed the entire mountain because it had been snowing all day. It also features a sizable skiing area where a great deal of people were skiing. The view of the skiers from the cable car was amazing.           I felt as though I was getting close to the blue sky after reaching the summit and gazing in the panoramic vista of the mountains spreading out beneath me. I felt as though I was floating above the sky from the top observatory since it was snowing nonsto...

          How could I forget the evening which made the Seoul Sky colourful and made me to feel like it was morning? A great day at Seoul happened on September, Seoul International Fireworks festival. The performance took place in Yeouido Hangang Park. Since it happened after 3 years, huge set of people gathered along with their families and loved ones.           I was very amazed with how well they had prepared. They bought the necessary food, a mat, and a tent. It made the ideal display for a picnic. Even though the show planned time is only after 7 o'clock, they arrived early, and just enjoyed themselves with their loved ones. This is life. Am I right? Spending time with family and loved one’s on a special day makes the day more special.           At 7.30 p.m., the fireworks display had begun. Italy, South Korea, and Japan were the three nations that took part in the event. The show was incred...
