Year 2001-2005, my family and I had the privilege of hosting a number of students from South Korea with an average of 2-4 students at one time in our house. Having homestay students had taught me and my family a lot about Korean culture and traditions. I even learnt how to cook Korean food to please my Korean sons and daughters.
It's not easy having homestay kids in our house all year round but definitely, the relationships and camaraderie formed all throughout the months that these Korean students stayed in our house was simply rewarding and will last a lifetime.
It was also a plus for these kids to stay in a homestay house since they also get to witness, observed and feel the Filipino way of life. Much so different from their own culture. And, I pray that while they stayed in our house and share our day to day life, they became more open-minded and more understanding of the culture of other nations.
