Seoul

I appreciated the opportunity to speak at the Sogang University Korean Language Education Center 20th Anniversary International Conference in November 2010. The hospitality shown to me and the other speakers was absolutely world-class.

One of the many highlights of the trip was a visit to Gyeongbok-gung. Guards in tradional uniforms paraded on the grounds and were posted by the gate.

Seoul was full of cultural gems, from architecture to clothing. These dancers performed in Insadong.

Another highlight was a performance of the folk dance Ganggangsullae at Unhyeongung palace, a little clip of which is available here.

Arizona

Visited the Grand Canyon in May, 2010. Even though it was in the 90's in Phoenix, it snowed the day we visited the canyon, obscuring the amazing view for about an hour.

Another amazing place in Arizona was the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix -- a cactus lover's paradise.
