view from a conference centre hotel room

We took the bullet train from Seoul to Pohang yesterday.  It felt familiar as I got on.  Ah, it's actually a Eurostar train!  Comfortable, smooth, and on time.

After a short taxi ride from Pohang Station, we arrived at the PIC (PIC = POSCO International Center, POSCO = Pohang Iron and Steel Company).  The Centre includes the conference venue and a hotel.  The view from my room is a combination of AC unit (necessary in the heat!) and lovely greenery.


Today started with a tour of the POSTECH campus (POSTECH = Pohang University of Science and Technology) for those who had arrived early enough.

braving the heat

the local synchrotron, unfortunately not part of the tour!

And then our TEMC workshop as the first event.
