My lady and I ventured from our comfortable confines in Gangnam and made our way to Shinchon, our previous haunt from many years ago and decidedly younger and cheaper (and dirtier and smellier). All in all we had a good time carousing with the youngsters from the local university, rubbing elbows with the future middle managers of Korea Inc. The first picture is of us drinking wine in Gangnam. I suppose we felt the need to steel our nerves a bit before entering Shinchon.

Previously, I was the Research Associate on the NERC, ESRC, and AHRC Global Challenges Research Fund sponsored GCRF Research for Emergency Aftershock Forecasting (REAR) project. I was an Assistant Professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (한국외국어대학교) in Seoul, Korea.
