In a remarkable display of linguistic talent, a Bahraini woman has won first place in a Korean speaking contest, earning a coveted trip to South Korea.
Noora Albufalasa, a 28-year-old from Hidd, won a speaking and writing competition organised by the Manama King Sejong Institute that saw around 150 students vying for the award.
She was honoured during the Course Completion Ceremony held at the InterContinental Bahrain on June 20, in the presence of distinguished guests including Korean Ambassador HeonSang Koo, Korean Association in Bahrain president Yong-hyun Han and institute teacher Eun-hee Kim.
