2009-03-06T23:50:00.010+09:00

It is almost the end of the winter in Seoul but, the temperature has never goes up to 10°c. Today, we were supposed to go for hiking, which is part of the Korean culture, like an ice breaking session for the lab students. And, you know what? We didn't go. Instead, we went to watch "Watchmen" movie + luxury dinner at VIPS. It is because... professor is wearing leather shoes today. Haha … …

If you are interested, you can continue to read Nanta's synopsis below: ( copied from http://nanta.i-pmc.co.kr/en/nanta/intro_synopsis.asp )

Three cooks start their day.While they are busy preparing the vegetables and organizing the kitchen, a bad tempered manager appears. He orders them to prepare the food for a wedding by 6 o'clock in the afternoon.The cooks, who had not been told about this event, are caught completely off-guard.Not only that, the manager also brings his young nephew with him and demands that the cooks teach him how to cook and prepare food.The manager exits after barking these seemingly impossible orders. At first, the cooks don't like this clueless boy, but have to get on with their work.They start preparing the food, but things don't go on smoothly.The boy and three cooks get closer, though, and the audience joins the show.The cooks struggle to prepare the dishes as quickly as possible, and manage to set the table by 6pm.The wedding banquet draws to a successful conclusion.

I met him in front of " The Face Shop "

It's very excited when I see artistic furniture being used perfectly in the real environment.

"Family" - a Korean artwork with the inspiration comes from Korean traditional pots. (If I'm not mistaken :)

It looks distorted but in fact, it follows the shape and form of the Korean traditional pot.
