[South Korea] Oct 20 2007 ---- Inside Kim Dae Jung Convention Centre, Gwangju Design Biennale

The trip to the Gwangju Design Biennale (GDB) held in Kim Dae Jung Convention Centre (KDJCC) was sponsored by the Korean class organizers at GIST. I reached KDJCC with Shilpa (india), Chau-vee (china), Un-bi (china), Hanh and Twan (vietnam) using bus 16 around 1PM. The teacher came directly to the KDJCC from her place along with her mother. The teacher bought the tickets for all of us. The student concession was available so we paid a little less (maybe 6000 won per person instead of 7000 won, dont remember exactly).



This was a cold day and a strong wind was blowing so not many people were outside the KDJCC.

On our way back we went to the Mr. Pizza in Cheomdan and had dinner together. Teacher gave us the money for the dinner too. The bill for Pizza was around 80000 won for 6 people and we ordered shrimp (Large), chicken (Large) and vegetable (Medium) pizzas. It was a long trip and we enjoyed a lot. We reached GIST in the night.
