Do you recall the crazy, sizzling summer weather?  

Did God know that the pecial delegates were visiting Korea, 

the summer heat cooled down a bit just upon their arrival.

We started off our day by visiting, whawon, Changdeok-goong.

                   Revisiting Korea's history was essential to better understand the culture of Korea.

At Changdeok-Goong, we were taking time machine back to Chosun Dyn asty, exploring 5000 years old history.

As you can see, I was restlessly taking pictures of our event to record every joyful moments!

 Our delegates also loved taking pictures (just like me) of beautiful sceneries and architecture.

And they whispered that the pictures were for their personal memories and

for introducing Korea to their peers and colleagues.

Food is an essential tool to understand a culture.

At the moment, our delegates were enjoying Korean traditional cuisine at Siwhadam.

Who did say thata loaf of bread is better than the song of many birds’?

Has "taking pictures of food before dining" become a global, trendy dinning etiquette? :P

Everyone seems to show respect for food by harmoniously taking pictures before dining..

After having a good lunch,

We headed to the Samsung Museum of Art, LEEUM.

The delegates were so thrilled to see this modern art complex and

 

were so amazed at how the Korean companies are so passionate about cultures and arts.

We headed to Chungdong Theatre to watch the performance, "Miso".

Can you notice our delegates in the back seats?

On stage is our Mexico representative, Luise Arreguin, who is also a  choreographer

 

and a painter in Mexico. He is imitating movements from the performers.

If I hadn't explained this all, you must have believed

 

that he was actually a one of the performers, weren't you?

Have you ever imagined wine with the Korean traditional food?

Now, after actually trying one ourselves, we can confidently say "yes!"

This combination was indescribably delicious.

 

Wine and Korean foods actually complement each other well.
