KOREA - Hongkyeong Kim



Hi, I'm Hongkyeong Kim from Korea. I'm 22 years old and I participated in the 38th World Skills Olympics as a competitor of Ladies'  Dressmaking. But I'm sorry to say that I can't recognize even a single familier face in here. Maybe it's because during the competion period I was too worried about my work that I couldn't get a peaceful mind to look around me and make friends with others. So I'm glad I can meet you again and even seniors!!
 It's really wonderful to be able to meet people from many countries and share the experiences! 
 Here's a picture of mine..and I also want to introduce you my lovely friend Bo-ri.
Since I'm living alone in my house very far away from my hometown Bori has been a great mate  to me.(I want to take her to Melbourne...but I'm sure it won't be possible..^^)In't she lovely?
You are always welcome to my mini-hompage  ==>www.cyworld.com/hokykim (I'm not sure if you can open it..it's Korean Version) There are some pictures of me and my friends!!
I'm so excited about meeting you all in may!
 
#And tell me how is the weather like in Melbourne in May? I heard it's totally opposite from here..we are now spring. Everyone's are enjoying beautifyl weather- sunny, cool air, clear sky and flowers are blooming!

Florence has arrived in Australia!


Hello everybody!

I arrived in Melbourne on the 1st of April. The flight was 24 hours long! We stoped at Singapore, so I thought I would see the city from the plane... But unfortunatly it's was the night for them so everything was black and I saw nothing!

Today is the 6th, So in one month I'll meet you all! Before the Forum, I'm staying in Shepparton for 4 weeks. There are 2 hours by car between Shepparton and Melbourne. I'm doing a work placement in graphic design in a NewsPaper.

Autumn is starting in Australia, but don't worry, the weather is nicer than in Europe! The sky is almost blue all the time and it's around 20 degrees. People here, say it's cold, but actually it's nice! They don't realise how lucky they are ;-)

I don't have a video of me, instead here is a picture I took in Shepparton, Australia on the 3rd of April at 6:00 pm... a nice sunset...
