I've replaced the bed cover and sheets and prepared Hanbok when I was informed that 2 Japanese students will be staying in my home. I was very excited when I was on my way to Elloui hotel to pick-up the students as if I had the first date with my wife. They were 21 and 22 years old students and I felt like they were my children. I felt lonely because my 24 year old son was in Canada for language study and my 22 year old son was serving his duty in the Korean Army. Therefore I felt like greeting my own two sons. After unpacking luggage, while having a cup of ginseng tea, I asked the boys whether they wanted to visit any place. They said they want to visit Seodaemun Jail. We went to Agricultural Product Center in Garakdong, not far from home, for vegetable, fruit markets and bought Korean melon and peach, which they had never seen before. On our way home, we dropped by at Garakdong side market, one of the Korean traditional market, and bought some vegetables for side dish and tasted Geotjeori. I told them that most of common Korean citizens buy food at this kind of market. For dinner we had Bulgogi, Doenjang soup, Gim, Kimchi. Those are what most Japanese and other foreigners enjoy. I was pleased to see one of the students eating Bulgogi greedily. After dinner I showed them my picture. They were quite surprised because I was dressed in Yukata, which is a Japanese traditional costume. It was taken when I was visiting Japan in 1980. Then I wore Yukata, and the two students wore Hanbok. My wife also wore Hanbok . All of us took pictures together. They really enjoyed wearing Hanbok for the first time. I thought that cultural exchange starts from experiences like this. The students told me that they had greatly enjoyed it. We had little talk about trip around Korea while having some beer. I have also told the student that if the Japanese government does not teach the student the truth of the history, Japan might succeed in becoming the economically successful nation but will never become a leader of the world. This might have sounded a little unpleasant to the students but it was a relief that one of the students said that the objective of this program was to enhance the understanding by talking about the different perspectives. It was already 1 o'clock so we talked about tomorrow's schedule. We will wake up at 7 o'clock in the morning and go to the public sauna and at eight thirty we said that we will have our breakfast and go to church at ten thirty. So at seven o'clock in the morning we went to the public sauna. We stayed in the hot bathtub for about 20 minutes and we suggested to scrub their body with Italian towel. But it seemed that it did not work well. It was a pity that we did not take a picture of our strip body with only Italian towel around our body. After we had a delicious breakfast we had Korean ginseng tea and talked about various things. They said that they wanted to visit Korea once again. It seemed that they fully felt the peculiar Korean emotions in Korea. They went to church and attended the chapel. They also made pork Bulgogi for lunch. Coincidentally there was a student who attended middle school in Japan, so they had conversations in Japanese. After we came home they wore traditional dress for ceremonies and showed us "Yosako-yi So-oh-ran bush" dance. It had big movement and power. They said that young people does this dance. Above all, it was laudable that they tried to show something Japanese to us. Although it was just two of us we gave them a big applause. We gave them the traditional ginseng tea as a souvenir and they gave us a doll wearing Japanese traditional dress, Kimono. They said that they had to write 4000 word report when they go back to Japan. We were curious about how they would write about their experience during our homestay. We said farewell to them in Elloui Hotel and promised to keep in contact with email and also promised to call when they revisit Korea. I was flattered when I felt I had been a private diplomat.
