Gwangju International Center

It was interesting to see many seniors attending the GIC Talk and talk with some foreigners. During the talk, I wanted to visit Yogyakarta, Indonesia to participate in a religious celebration of the biggest Buddhist temple in the world. I always go to the temples when visiting foreign countries. And I expect the one in Yogyakarta being one of my best experiences. I'm surprised at the facts that Indonesia's markets don't sell plastic bags anymore and there are six official religions. I liked the point that tip is not common, but appreciated. Some strong tipping culture regions had made me quite embarrassed. The 'slow' culture of Indonesia seems very desirable, and as the speaker said, the whole Korea society must slow down. I was grateful for having opportunity to meet many foreigners and improve my English. In addition to strengthen the capacity of local citizens, GIC Talk promotes cultural communication between Koreans and foreigners. It's notable that GIC Talk's domestic and foreign are willing to share their knowledge and experience though they don't have any tuition fees.
