And so here we go again. With a fresh new year we have a fresh new... Security Day. This time they've been testing the survival superpowers of us new 12IMPs.

Starting the day with an easy task - how to load and drive a truck without killing anyone talk - was a great idea, as some of us were still waiting yet to wake up. That turned out not being any problem eventually, given lengthier breaks, where some took the additional rest they needed to prepare for the next and more heroic tasks.

안녕하세요 (annyeonghaseyo) from Seoul, South Korea! I'm junior IMP student and having my exchange studies in Konkuk University, majoring here for Communication Design. I have stayed here for already two weeks and getting settled with everything.
