Daejon December 2014

Some yet to be posted pictures of me with friends in Daejon. Yup, we managed to 'sneak' out of our busy schedules to go to Daejeon for some blitzkrieg meeting.

Sure..lunch was not to be skipped for. 

Though I did not eat any of this famous grilled fish..yet I enjoyed my time with them. 

Had a chance to visit IMNIDA, a musholla designed for Muslims in Daejon. 

And..what would be a Daejon Trip without some local delicacies? 

@ Daejeon KTX Station, we got to queue just to buy these delicacies.

It's called Sung Sim Dang cake. yup..worth the wait!^^

The Global Impact of South Korean Popular Culture

Finally, the book in which one of my papers is included has finally published.

Yes...I just got it today.

Thanks to Dr. Valentina Marinescu from Romania, University of Bucharest--who also edited this volume. 

It's been a great and long project until this book is published.  

Nothing to express but 'thank you' for having finally made this happen to everyone involved.

My special gratitude goes for Dr. Valentina Marinescu. 

Simply love it.

An Eye-Catching Nationalistic Ad

Just got out of the office when I spotted a very interesting ad afar. I did not quite sure what it was, though. But, one thing for sure it was posted on the high-rise wall of one of the high-rises at Yeouido.

It did make me kinda wonder as to what it was all about. A kid was holding a stick on which end attached a Korean flag--a real one!!!

So, if you happen to take a look closer, the flag is indeed waiving and fluttering as the wind blows through it.

Guess...it is a good way to promote 'something' though I am not sure what in this case.

At least, got a snapshot out of it and put it on my blog for everyone to see.

(*still a chilling afternoon on the 2nd week of April. Is it really spring?^^??)

(*still a calm afternoon as usual amid the heating 'situation' on the peninsula--which I do hope and pray will be calm and peaceful as always)
