Mike goes to Korea!!

Michael began a postdoc position at the National Lab here in Berkeley in conjunction with a professor in Korea. In December he traveled to Korea to give a few talks and take care of some paperwork. Conveniently the paperwork took 10 days to process so he was able to be a tourist for awhile! A few of the graduate students showed him around Seoul and took him ice skating. He also took a trip to the Demilitarized Zone. At the end of his stay the professor he was visiting took Mike and some of his graduate students to a cabin in the countryside and to a folk festival.



Some of the most interesting emails Mike sent were related to the various foods he was trying. I have to admit that I don't think I would have survived - I am not very adventurous when it comes to eating live octopus, assorted internal organs, and who knows what else!
