Paper Done and Daejeon Trip

Last Saturday I woke up early stressing about my dissertation. It wasn't due until Sunday but it was so close to being done that I just finished it and sent it off at 830am. I was very happy to be finished with school.

I thin hopped a KTX to Daejeon to visit Darren. We walked along the Gapchon river to the large garden/museum/arboretum. It was warm, but the humidity was way down from previous weeks and so it was actually quite nice. Along the way we found dragon boat races and a great walking path. There was a museum with dinosaur bones and an arboretum with tropical plants and a huge park. We were out all afternoon enjoying the tourist sites of Daejeon.

We then got back to Darren's place and sat at a patio around the corner for a few Japanese beers before a bbq dinner. I've always liked Daejeon. Hardly a tourist city, but a fun crowd and a good atmosphere. I am looking for University jobs next year and Darren's University is certainly on my list. I could live in that area for two years.
