It was a busy week. After the group seminar dinner on Monday, an American group leader came for a visit on tuesday and it was Claudine's birthday on wednesday - bringing with it all the cake, drinking and finally karaoke that go along with a birthday here. Finally on thursday my professor from Germany came for a visit. Besides picking him up at the airport, listening to his presentation and talking with him and my Korean boss about the work here, it also lead to a very amazing dinner for me and Claudine with three
professors. We went to a traditional barbaque place and had the chance to compare Korean beef with that imported from Australia. For obvious reasons, Korean beef turned out to be more tasty, but it is evidently also more expensive, a sad fact that didn't bother us that evening. Afterwards the Korean professors decided to leave, but my boss was in the mood for a few more drinks in Nok-Du. So we showed him the traditional bar, which we found a bit over a week ago, for something soju-like and eventually ended up in a beer bar, with
some nice tables out back under the open sky in the midst of countless residential houses. After entertaining conversation about all together non-business topics, we managed to find a taxi, that brought my boss safely home. P.S.: Don't even consider commenting on the fact that I'm wearing an almost identical outfit.
