This weekend, I was at a workshop at the Pohang Institute for Science and technology (POSTECH) on the south-east coast of Korea. The main part of the university is shown below. It was deserted and slightly grim. It reminded me of Swansea centre.



On the plus side, the seafood was excellent. I went with a couple of other attendees to a fish restaurant in the fish market near the harbour. Below is the sushi that we had, a tank of crabs waiting their fate and a general view of the market. Just about every meal we had in Pohang involved seafood of some sort - excellent! The conference was good too; there were only invited speakers (international) which meant that the quality was that much higher.

Your first picture is kind of reminiscent of Blue Boar court.

Sort of, although I don't remember Blue Boar so well. Let's face it, BB is nowhere near as ugly as Swansea!

This
isn't quite the view I was thinking of, but gives a flavour.

I'm not familiar with the ugliness or otherwise of Swansea. Have you been to Croydon, at all?
