Downtown

On the last day for most conference attendees, Mirsada, Don, Victor and I did a quick tour of some of the most interesting sights in Seoul: the Jogyesa buddhist temple, the traditional shopping street Insadong and the Samsung tower. Weather turned out to be rather mediocre, but that didn't spoil the fun of a traditional dinner, the view from the Samsung tower and the admiration for exotic lamps, paintings, dishes and more. Finally, we also managed to find a place serving Dakkalbi: chicken, cabbage, spicy sauce and noodles or rice mixed in a hot pan in the center of the table. The glorious trip to the Insadong area was completed with an icecream by Cold Stone :-)
However, the most exciting part of the evening was yet to come since Victor and I wanted to try live octopus and we had found out that there was a place close to our hotel offering just that...
