Coex Inter-Continental Hotel reminded me my first visit 15 years ago, my colleagues at CASS and first Korean friends we made. Some of them have become life-long friends and treated me for dinner this time. I enjoyed the reunion after 15 years with these top China experts in Korea and the plum wine.
I have never seen this kind of tight security during any library events. It might be for Dr. Dae-jung Kim, who gave the keynote speech. Dr. Kim is the 15th President and 2000 Nobel Prize Laureate.
I arrived earlier at the IFLA site when its side entrance was empty. Ran into Dr. Lee from LC, and the Japanese professor who questioned me after my presentation the day before.
