KOTESOL Conference

Saturday was the national KOTESOL conference in Daegu, where I went to hear Charles Brown from Japan speak on EFL words and vocabulary. It actually gave me some great ideas for a thesis next year. He was an interesting guy. There were a few other speakers, one from Abu Dhabi who was great and one who seemed a leftover from the 1960's (English is American imperialism man). Anyway, it was mostly interesting.

It was also held at Kyungpook University, which is a cool place in its own right. On a beautiful day I did cut out to take a few pics of the campus, though by 3pm it was 36 degrees and the university had aircon so I didn't go out much after that. Anyway, a few pics:

Statue, dunno of what exactly

After the dinner I went out with Jon, his wife and their friends to Wolgwang Lake park for dinner and drinks. It was great and I look forward to doing it again soon.
