Life in Korea: A Filipino Scientist’s Perspective

Speaker: Hannah Ebro 

Date: 2013.07.30

Reviewer: Hyoseon Jeong

Editor: Sam Winters

This GIC Talk was given by Hannah Ebro, an international student from the Philippines pursuing a graduate degree in the sciences here in Korea. Her talk focused on her personal experiences during her time in Korea, and spanned numerous topics, like food, culture, work, education, society, lifestyle and her newfound drinking abilities. Much of Hannah’s talk was comparative, using her native country as a reference, and it included many pictures via PowerPoint, many of which were of a personal nature. Hannah’s speaking style was friendly, energetic and at times humorous, with numerous personal stories that kept the audience’s attention and made the speaker seem very kind and approachable. The talk was a great bridge between the foreign and Korean communities in that it gave the audience a chance to see the Korea they’ve always known in a new light.
