More details about your skills

About our ability:
1st, we have skills of lightening the mood. Kay and Ryu are fond of getting along with other people, so we have plenty of friends from different countries. When we socialize, we usually treat other people with open mind and curiosity. Sometimes we prepare special events for them like showing the sights or throwing cultural exchange parties. We are always welcome to embrace new styles of life.
2nd, we have good stamina. We do love exercising, and we exercise at least 3 times a week. Thanks to that, we both are in a good shape:) Speaking of exercising, Ryu is a hiking buff—she has participated in the 100km hiking contest—and I am a running buff. Also, we've learned many martial arts like Judo, boxing, muay tai, taekwondo and hapkido. We are always welcome to try new challenges and activities!
3rd, if the host say us to do sth, we just do it. We are majoring in medicine. As you know, medical students have a lot of things to put in the head. We can properly understand what you say, and we can do it without complain.

Other capacities:
- We can take care of animals, because we have pets. Ryu has taken good care of parrots for 10 years, and I had taken care of a chick and a dog as a pet—my doggy is still alive, but my chicky passed away:(
- We did gardening every weekend in Korea. Now we are in Melbourne now, but still we are doing gardening as Workawayers. Ryu won first prize for her large cabbage in the agriculture competition of her village—she said chicken manure was the key. I don't have experience like that, but I love growing sweet potatoes, so the sweet potato area in my family garden is my alley.
- We can play instruments. Hanjeong plays piano well, so that she can accompany the chorus. I have perfect pitch, so I can play the melody by piano right after hearing it.

22 & 21

What else ...

We love experiencing various cultures. Every time we go into other countries or other families, we fit ourselves into their rules and try to understand how the rules are made and why people have been keeping these rules until today. For me, my curiosity about human being has driven my whole life—even my major of medicine is decided by that. Extension of this motive, we are into enjoying our lives. Carpe diem!
