I got to go down to Daejeon and Gongju for three days and four days thanks to a presentation I got to give at KISTI! Daejeon was pretty cool, there are tons of research facilities and science related things. I got to experience a lot of firsts … seeing dog meat being sold on the street, going to a public spa, eating duck, and various other little things. It was a great trip and I was really glad to hang out with my friends who studied at University of Utah but are back at their home university, Chungnam. Anyways, here’s the story of my trip in pictures:

Pic no.60 : ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I was in Daejon [Taejon] and the city was heavy attack from the 18-20 july 1950.Lost a lot of young men in that battle.The picture of the city is a far cry from the city that we had to fight our way out of on the 20 july 1950 sign 40 yards
I’m sure it has indeed changed much. I remember seeing the cemetery in Daejeon for the Korean war … so many lives
Have you made it back?
