Yonsei University, Korea 2006

If I remember correctly, I also spent a day at the Yonsei University. It has a very beautiful campus. You'll feel like you're walking in a garden, with cicadas singing away and the birds watching you from above the trees...

Can you believe this is part of the campus?













According to the University's website, it is one of the oldest private university in Korea, first established in 1885 by Christian missionaries. Wow!

Korean Food 2006

I was at COEX most of the time during my stay in Korea. It is a very large mall. It's a pity I didn't take time off to explore the Kimchi museum within the COEX building. Hope I'll visit the place again in future.

My favourite food at COEX? Homemade burger... It's delicious!!



This is the usual fare you will get at an eatery. I love those little servings of pickled vegetables. The black beans were really yummy. They were pickled in sweet soy sauce with sesame and sometimes, the black beans came with anchovies. Do not be fooled by the bright red soup. It's not as spicy as you think.



I also went to the famous touristy places: Dongdaemun, Insadong, Namdaemun. They have a lot of bargains and interesting stuff on sale.

Korea 2006

Was in Korea for work in 2006. My impression of Korea? Very high tech, clean, has interesting flora and delicious cuisine... My all-time favourite soup is the Samgyetang (chicken ginseng soup). It cured me of my headache when I first arrived in Korea.

Some of the places of interests I visited:












The Gyeonbok Palace - dates from the 14th century...




The Han River. There are over 20 bridges at the lower Han River. Amazing!
