Conference days

Nonetheless the true reason for this visit was work and not just fun and games so the following days were spent in a lecture hall during the day and in good restaurants in the evening and pubs and bars thereafter. Highlights were the traditional Korean beef BBQ and a dinner consisting of over a dozen different courses. The evenings were spent with beer, soju and dong dong ju and all kinds of dried fish and other side dishes to accompany them (not like anyone would have still needed extra food, but that's the way it is). At this point it seems appropriate to mention, that Koreans thoroughly enjoy mixing beer with other types of harder alcohol such as soju or whiskey and have devised many interesting ways of mixing, multiple of them involving the ever-present chop sticks...
