As a Chinese exchange student, I have experienced a Korean life for more than one month. During the past month I have been observing the way Korean live their life and analyzing differences between Korean and Chinese. And I found something interesting between the two Asia countries.
The lifestyle is very different. MT is one of the most typical parties in the Korean university life. I once joined one. We stayed the whole night enjoying traditional Korean wine and games. Even the professor, who is so honorable in class, played like a child with students. To be honest I was deeply shocked at their “craziness” at first, but later I was so moved and encouraged by the heated atmosphere that I also enjoyed a lot. This kind of recreation is incredible for Chinese students! Chinese students seldom hold parties and are kind of plain in their way of entertainment. The modern way in China is going to KTVs. But not much wine is introduced.
The difference is due to the difference between two cultures and political environment. And I found that relationship between Korean people is more closed than Chinese people. I wish in China the university life can be as exciting as in Korea.
