HOME STAY



Hi everyone, so almost everyone has bought their ticket, and I can now move on to other things, yay!

Namely~~Home stay. The way we will do home stay is this- After receiving the information for a home stay, I will post the family's information on this blog entry, if you want to join this family for home stay, you will need to copy and paste the information of that family into an email and email me.

I will then contact the family and let you know if you are successful.

Most families are offering stays for free.

Each family will be posted in a new comment section.

Remember, many of you have mentioned home stays before, but you will need to apply through this way in order for us to find you a family. Thanks, I hope that everyone lets me know ASAP.... Logan

  1. The first family that will be able to host someone is Kim Hyunhee's family. They live in Suncheon City, which is actually about 20 minutes from Yeosu, they say that they can host someone for a month, but because of the distance from Seoul to Suncheon, and then coming back again to meet, I suggest this home stay for someone that would like to stay there AFTER the festival. This is her introduction

    "hello~ i'm Helen(nick name) my Korean name is 'Kim Hyun hee' my age is13years old. my favorite subject is English and my speciality dance and sing at the same time.

  2. Hi, I have another family that lives in Seodaemun-gu, a suburb of Seoul. She is a girl and lives with her parents and grandparents, she can take 1-2 people in her house.

    It is free and there is no time limit. I think this would be perfect for two girls that want to stay together, please send me a message with " ELLIE HOME STAY" in the header and I will match you up, Logan.

    pubulic relations



    -Acoording to UN, almost 65billions people live on the earth, and among them ,almost 5,000millions of peple live in korea.

    I am one of those 5,000 millions people

    Hi, my name is Yoon wonsub and my english name is Raymond (I don't like this name)

    I was born in seoul, in 1995 FEB 11th (so I'm Aquarius) Now I'm 17 years old and I'm a High school student (In Korea many High school student don't like school) I stay in the school for almost 18hours -studying, volunteer (meal survice, library) cleanig the classroom..

    In my freetime, I draw archeitecture or disaster things ( space niddle in seatle, London, states of liberty in New york or 2012)

    and like other people Ilove to eat fruits and especially meat. (But I'm never eat seafood and mushroom)

    AH!! I love to listen to music - taylor swift, miley cyrus, orianthi .... (you belongwith me , climb, shet up and kiss me)

    an watch movies or dramas. (DESERT FLOWER , TOMORROW , LOVELY BONES , Greys Anatomy , Doctor Who , .. especially grey's anatomy ) But I don't know my exactly character, SO I ask it to beloved my freinds and people and they say to me , "you're kind , sincere , but abit emotianal.

    That's it.. I'm a good and decent person, and I'd love to know about you, and I'm pretty sure we can be really good friends!!!



    and I need to explain about my second hometown, siheung.

    I live in siheung almost 12 years , and pretty sure, I'm know all about this area. This plae 35km away from our capital "seoul"

    A half of this city is rural area and other is urbanized (material, residents , industry)

    Before you come to korea, you're experienced European houses which are including beautibul and peaceful.

    But this place? there's no house like youy think hanok . we can see only apartments.

    Maybe you read thi and think about negative things. But you need to know about this.

    All that things have two differents side like coins that have two differents slides. (Like london haves a smog, and Dokyo have many peoples..) of course, we do have lots of good things!

    we have a beautiful attraction like sea and red beacone with red beacone, and really beautiful sunset &Night view with cool wind. (Seriously the sunset likes califonia Long beach) also we have a M.T ( it was originally an island)

    First Attraction of siheung, oido. oido is one of the best attraction in siheung because people likes couples, famillys , friends..

    Go out for a walk with your loves , see the red beacones, also we can see the beautiful sunset & Night view - we can see the beautiful night view of songdo international city.

    Also we can experience foreshore - It was really fun, we can catch the sea creature.

    Second attraction is I think food, and lotus flower park or just Okgu park. This city between of the sea and other city. so we can eat some seafood( baked fish, sea shell, and really good taste of hand make knife of noodles and sliced raw fish ) meat ( hanwoo ) and fruits ( Grapes and peach is really special things in this area ) ...

    Okgu park is biggest park in siheung. we can picnic over here, exercis , taking a nap, we can have all of thigs in here !

    also can climbing ( suprisingly this mountain, originally an island )



    Now I think i talked about all of things in siheung. Later I talked more about me & familly.



    I wish you all happy !..
