Merry Christmass

Christmass is coming... You might have noticed that due to the omnipresent crazy caps, hats etc the poor franchise employes have to wear. That there are more memorable Christmas decorations i would like to prove with theses two pictures:

With this let me wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year :)

p.s. The crib was especially surprising because it's located on the backside of a small parking lot next to a little Catholic church. If you want to visit the location is tagged to this post.

New Art Installations at SNU

Please have a look at this lovely installation. It can be found in front of the fine arts building (200 meter inwards behind the soccer field). Around there are a few other new installations which a worth a look.

Two Panoramas

I had a few days of and went with my wife on vacation. First to Sokcho (which is in the far north east) and then to Busan.
This is the view from my old dormitory in Dong Seo University Busan. One of many reasons why i stayed in korea ^^.
This photo was taken at an rest area half way between Seoul and Sokcho.

DNA Sculpture at SNU Suwon campus

I went to the Suwon campus to attend a lecture a while ago and saw there this DNA sculpture / installation  thingy.
And in case you didn't know, yes SNU has a Suwon campus. Its in a techno park from Gyeongie province and consist of i believe 3 buildings. Originally it was intended for the Business school, but somehow they belived it not fancy / convenient enough so the higher ups sent the school of converging science there. The campus is conveniently reachable by a SNU owned shuttle bus. 

Instant Paratha at E-MART

We found some instant Paratha at E-MART, and couldn't stop ourselves from trying. Our expectations were not really high, mainly because until now all indian instant food we tried (except the CJ instant curry) was horrible. So without further ado the conclusion: This stuff is quite good. Quite heavy.... yeah its paratha what do you expect? ^^ Tastes very original but is a bit on the expensive side... i believe one pack of 5 or 6 for around 5000 won.

Now the next thing i expect is a decent stuffed Paratha. :P

Bell at Seoul National University

Quite a bit hidden, behind the Law school building hangs a bell. Its not a place where you normally pass by so most students never saw this bell. I don't know why that is but bells as well as large drums have somethings fascinating about them... and one of the best things about this bell is that there is nobody around trying to stop you from ringing it ^^


p.s. i also added the bells location to the map in this post.

Beijing, random thoughts

We have been to Beijing with my parents. Just two nights over the last weekend and its was quite interesting. Our objective was not to become experts on China but just to get a small glimpse of Beijing. And here the total random, subjective and (honestly) pretty useless first impressions gathered in Beijing:

There are graffiti in china
Chinese like fences
Many foreign and especially german cars
Driving on highways seems very stress free
Driving speed is rather slow
Few bicycles without additional motor
Crossing the trafic as pedestrian is DEFINITELY not safe
Chinese don't push in crowds as much as koreans
Still many bicycle roads
Most pedestrian overpasses have flat ramps, allowing cyclist to cross easily
Pizza hut in china is salty but quite tasty
Don't go with a guided tour if you want to go to nice restaurants
Vegetables in dishes are by western standards nearly uncooked
Rain is a blessing, otherwise a lot dust in the air
The forbidden city is just big, but the summer palace is very beautiful
So many koreans in china
Shops close early, by korean standard
Milk seems to be generally absolutely horrible
Some very good yoghurts
