Our day started with a walk through the sculpture gardens at the Korean Modern Art Museum located in the stunning landscape and gigantic complex known as Seoul Grand Park. Essentially, it's like putting Great America, the Botanical Gardens, the zoo and the art museum all next to each other!
We definitely got in a good walk before getting to listen to a keynote presentation by Thomas Banchoff, who shared his stories about math and his friendship with Salvador Dali. What an AMAZING talk! The afternoon consisted of more mini-sessions, again with exciting and engaging presentations. We went from the conference grounds out to explore some of the city life, in particular, the well-known area known as Insa-dong. Here the streets were crowded with people, Korean traditional crafts, street performers, restaurants and galleries. Another day of incredible experiences!

Being able to talk with someone who was a friend of Salvador Dali must have been humbling. Did you eat the boiled silkworms?
