Katrin's visit

The next day, the next highlight: Katrin came by to visit Seoul for a week. Sadly, her arrival was accompanied by the heaviest rainfall I had seen in Korea so far - including my last visit and any conferences. It rained when I got up, poured on the way to the airport and did not stop for two days straight. The little creek running past Nok-Du had turned into a raging river on the evening of the first day. So we were forced to tour Seoul indoors. This meant COEX mall and Samsung tower on the first day and Lotte World on the second. Finally, in the afternoon of the second day the skies cleared a bit and we were able to enjoy an amazing view of Seoul from the Gyrodrop tower, before plummeting toward the bottom at a speed that took your breath away. In the evening we walked around Dongdaemun and ended up in Doota for some very late night and early morning shopping.
