Namdaemun and CKC

Firstly, I'd like to show you a picture of Namdaemun, the old gate into the city walls of Seoul. It now stands alone, the walls long gone; the gate is an island in the traffic flow. It is hard to feel the history when there are hundreds of Daewoos, Hyundais and Kias crawling past!



Yesterday, a few of us went down to Daejeon, where the Cambridge-KAIST Collaboration symposium was being held. It was great to see outside Seoul, but it did involve getting up at 5 and returning at 12. There were more than 30 talks to attend to. Several of the big men from Cambridge attended and it was also a chance to meet up with my supervisor and go over a few things. Below are some of our group at SNU and my supervisor.



And here are the musicians hired to entertain us at the evening banquet.

Hallo. Is the person above actually you, Peter?

Good to hear things are going well in Korea, though it does seem that your Seoul activity is blogging.

As a matter of fact, it's not. It was probably you, trying to frame me. Dastardly cur!

Well, I thought that going to Seoul would be a good Korea move.

The words above the comment read "anonymous said...". On my computer, anyway.

How mysterious! I'm certainly Kia-n to find out the identity of this commenter.
