Daegu, Korea

Am now in Daegu University, Korea...
Man, am very impressed with the size and the green of the campus...
Compared to the tiny campus of my university, that is...

Japan, for all her wealth and her economic prowess and position...
I always wonder why her (national) university campuses are almost always so shabby looking...

Except for a handful of exceptions, most of the buildings in the (national) university campuses are greyish and without character...

Private Japanese universities are not so bad... so I can console myself somewhat because Daegu University is private...
Its dormitories can house over 1000 students... wooh, a dream for universities in Japan...

Am here to sign some agreement papers and also to negotiate over some exchange programs...
We had five Daegu students at our university last season and we hope to have a new bunch coming again soon...

While it is fun to visit this beautiful campus, my stomach is also having a jolly time churning away at the local delicacies...
Hmmm... Korean food... my mouth waters just to think about it... and I just finished dinner a while ago...

Shall be moving to another university tomorrow to offer my greetings...
After that, shall be free for about two days...

While I have to catch up on work (which I brought with me), I am looking forward to absorbing the sights, plus, of course, the 'bites' too... wooh...
