May 16th - Mountaineering first time in Japan - Kurokamiyama( 黒髪山）

It was the first time again to do mountain trekking in Japan. Kurokami mountain meaning the mountain of black hair changed my impression about the Japanese Mountain. It was absolutely fantasitic!!. Although we could not reach the top due to the rain, I thoroughly enjoyed the first trekking in Japan. Mountain itself was fantastic but the most wonderful thing I got that day was friends. Prof. Hattori and Prof. Matsunaga. I really appreciate both.

Lecture in Korean for the first time since 1996

I could not realize that it would be the first lecture in Korean since 1996. I was invited to Korea for special lectures and conferences but they were conducted in English. The thing I found from this lecture in Korean at Shilla University, 26th of April, 2007, was that it was not easy at all to talk about something even in your native tongue. I really appreciate the offer of Professor Park, Shilla University and those students who were forced to attend and listen to my somehow out of touched lecture.
