In the University there was no problem using English to comunicate with other exchange students and teachers, but it was a big challenge to communicate with local people.

MB, M2, Harlem are great night clubs. Gold Cafe's are the best and so is Geco's in Itaewon. The country side is a must see, especially the national parks
